because i want my mom to catch one because i i don't i don't want to keep the reason she's not trolling like we are is she sliced open a couple of her fingers with a box cutter so she can't paddle like crazy there we go that is a beautiful rainbow now i wish the first couple were this size but when we're going for a fish dinner and we require fish if it's a legal size um you know i'll take it i've i've passed fish up before but now now we're gonna have a good fish dinner and uh monty's gonna get his own fish it's gonna be amazing so yeah oh yeah that is a beautiful perfect just got so still oh there's another one at this point i'm probably just gonna let him go oh yeah it's a smaller one we're gonna just let this one go that's smaller than the first one so i'm with these trout especially the smaller ones if um you want to let them go do your best to not touch them the reason being is why you don't want to touch the trout unless you wet your hands because they have a they're they're more sensitive than the big like scaled fish or bigger fish and whatnot so they've got like a a protective coat and your dry hands there we go your dry hands uh removes that coat and they can get like diseases and they just die they're very sensitive so you want to be careful with them hey mom oh is this starting to rain it is starting to rain it's very light um if you want uh i can just tie your boat to mine and i can be your trolling motor okay you got you got the old hook in the shirt so you want you want me to be your trolling motor no i i can do it because you can't pedal yeah and then you can set whatever lines you want and i'll just paddle you around i'll be your i'll be your your son servant on mother's day we're gonna take a brief intermission because it's starting to get slight chilly and then we're gonna get back on this water my mom will catch a fish no matter what the cost oh he's got a fish yeah he's got a fish oh that's amazing that was pretty cool yeah that

clothes and i'm just gonna take a few casts it is just a pristine evening out right now it does not get more ideal than this uh cloudy calm perfect temperature about 40 degrees i think the water temperature is perfect for the fish because they've been biting all day as soon as the clouds came out they've been biting and then morels uh we've already got fish we just want one you know you got to look at the amount of fish we got then you got to look at what you what you're dealing with you got 300 poses so it we could use a little bit more i mean you guys have seen me eat oh my gosh

straight round two on the father son's trip i dunked into the water and on the mother sons trip you dunked in the water yes i did it was meant to be now i'm not trying to sound greedy here but the perfect ending to this day would just be one more fish just one more no more no less a two would be okay three even better but still just one just one just just one to complete the feast i mean come

getting stuff ready for dinner just for uh finely shredded cabbage come here we have a special guest [Music] see it right there oh let me get them okay you saw him i did yeah i think i got him i might have got that i might have got it i'm trying to keep him safe yeah oh yeah oh yeah that's the shot it's sick oh that's crazy yeah see their tail yeah oh wow that's an eastern newt whoa the first place i discovered him i was like oh my god he's awesome wow he's all colorful and spotted sparkly let me see if we can get his i'm being very gentle oh look at his face in his belly he's got a very yellow smiling he's a yellow bellied all right let's throw them some way oh yeah there he is right there oh hi buddy where are you oh yeah wow he's on the leaf leave me alone a little dragon or something there he goes now this thing will actually when you're walking through the water will uh give you a powerful pinch and it will it's called a toe biter because it will bite your toe and it's a very powerful are you ready for this yep that right there is a toe biter watch this see wait did you see that oh i gotta focus it just attacked this stick all right we're good i don't know if it'll do it again but yeah it just it just lunged at the stick so those are in our lakes oh man it's disgusting yeah it's called snow biter it's like oh the cockroach of the lake yeah except there very powerful bite i had one go after my finger almost done gotta make our slaw which is right there gotta mix up the pickles with the mayo for real for sauce homemade and we're gonna find some lemons and get that slaw going to get the most juice out of a lemon you roll it and it breaks the membranes and you get most juice out of it rolling rolling rolling potentially this one you can feel it so sure yeah i need to cut that up pretty oh my stinky oh monty oh so if it isn't apparent by now we're having funky fish sandwiches for dinner oh yeah with rainbow trout monty is getting two whole trout to himself plus sweet potato come on you can get a treat are you gonna get treat they put me down i don't want to deal with this right now i've been enjoying myself all day this is the worst place stop embarrassing me oh they could let your tail down i could see your butt let's just get that you dealt with my embarrassment i'm sorry i'm sorry come here i'm sorry i'm sorry mr guy okay so they prepared the slaw uh i got the fish plate up they got the tartar so yeah we took uh my mom did thinly sliced cabbage with lemon juice salt and pepper and then the tartar is just teeny petite pickles and uh mayo and then now we just gotta frapper fish in our batter and then put it all together and we're gonna have delicious fish of sandwiches okay the show starts off with of course the double break right yep we're doing it oh geez why is it why is it like that what's going on here it's kind of janky oh that's hot don't call the the great great janky i'll have a great extra drink great extra drink don't laugh at it that one's good this one's just what's the word for it janky insufficient just compatible it's a skew i just don't trust that non-optimal you guys are really given the great greater connection right now it is the greatest of all times true i can't get this one to stay well it looks like it got hit with a stick went crosstalk it's seen greater days all right that'll oh yeah that'll do okay so it's time to batter the fish and then we're gonna start frying so we've got our homemade batter here which is just half white flour half yellow cornmeal and i put a bunch of montreal steak seasoning in there then we've got our rainbow trout right here all in the pan normally i don't do this but i brought a couple of eggs pre-scrambled i usually don't do this out of the woods i do this at home but i figured hey what the heck we're doing it today and we're just going to get them coated in egg there we go i'm going to take and dump some of this batter in here an important trick to do when you're battering fish is you always want to have one wet hand and one dry hand so this hand that's touching the eggy fish is never gonna i'm never gonna stick this hand in this batter because then it turns into a goopy mess oop that that goes to monty it's it's gone monty just got more fish take a piece grab some of the batter lay it in sprinkle with the dry hand and make sure that this never touches anything wet just kind of get it coated nice and good there you go put this on the platter and continue on now i'm gonna just batter all this up like this oh yeah [Applause] that sounds delicious got the morels cooking oh yeah i'm excited to try those out oh those owls they're not optimal because i almost boiled them but the flavor is there right you'll be able to get the beefy flavor i think you could you could put another pizza on there are you sure yep all right it looks pretty good yeah you like it good monty's pretty jealous how much you think of two pieces first or whatever you want i mean do we have enough for two pieces for your sandwich yeah we got more than enough for even more than that you want to do the morel mushrooms on the fish sandwich oh yeah how is that that's pretty awesome all right i'm just going to take just eat a bunch and just get the flavor yeah they're delicious right oh yeah those are good yeah they're like beefy i need some more of that absolutely like 17 morels right now there we go okay nice plate of cabbage slaw on the bottom and we're gonna go nice hearty sandwiches nice bit of avocado delicious rainbow trout just pile that on there oh yeah put in your mouth some cheese and then of course the tartar and that that right there is a funky fishy sandwich oh yeah let's eat that bad boy all right monty you've been the goodest boy of the day oh go ahead oh go away was it too hot oh hot dang it um i don't know what to do i put the cold water in it already oh i can put an ice cube you got an ice cube cooler right i don't know oh yeah sorry monty thank you mom's gonna save you well my mom that would be your grandma yeah there we go i'm she's getting the ice cube i i gotta i gotta go for this my tammy there's just there's no there's no holding this back any longer um my there you go [Music] [Music] oh hmm this is such a mess i got figures oh could you pass me a liquid i feel like i'm experiencing what you just experienced yeah but i get that i i guess that all the time where like i'll literally go thank you i'll literally choke if i don't have a drink of like liquid before i eat almost anything typically when i don't eat or drink in a while always thanks you saved me there that was that was i'm literally like choking that's what moms do i held that i'm gonna you know i'm just gonna do a little classic where you take a piece of fish and you put some tartar on it or fast from the fresh lemon yeah maybe a little a little slow on there you're doing like the keto yeah keto version i think you can eat too much more of the bread but this that's a tasty little fish taco thing um monty i don't want him walking by on the fire oh he's not gonna walk in the fire he's in the skate right by this wall monty come here monty let's go to bed come on monty bedtime mind he's just like looking i'm just like so tired he's like i just can't i can barely make it come on join the fun josh says
