This Is a little sweet spot right here where the water slows down and if I can just get my Cast correct might just need to get a good angle here Well, yep Welcome to the program. I do have mud on my tissue now Let's try to change the angle of our dangle Not break our bones Got the stringy smooth Not gonna do it Slung up and got me We've got ourselves a trout ladies and gentlemen Come on, baby good Good and fighting in the river get my way down here.

I'm not kidding. Oh We pulled off dad gummit catching catfish Rooster tails. Are you joking? Really really slow retrieve Just kind of letting the blade spin and the Crossing currents. It's really weird when you watch your your lure you throw it out Out into where you see all the white water and it just zips on by but then it'll come back and then it starts working this way the current is moving back Towards the opposite direction That was a cast right there Can you imagine if I hooked into a Like a really big catfish on this thing Y'all I've got another one. I need to keep them out of this current It's something big I don't have much line Oh my god, I just saw a big tail huge tail.

This is six The problem with this fish is it's not hooked in the mouth. So I don't have I don't have as much control because right here.

This is a highly sensitive ultralight rod So if I bump anything with it, whoo, gonna switch hands Oh, oh, it's a catfish. Oh, it's a catfish and a good one. I just side-hooked it Uh Get up on that bank Well, when I woke up this morning And thought how Should I go fishing? I wasn't thinking well, let's go catch some catfish Using a rooster tail that is two good kitties. I have gotten myself a couple of dandies On ultra ultralight tackle It's nice. We're getting them in this good cold water too. We're good to eat. Look at those bad boys Whoo, you say weekend fish fry Yes, man The first one was in the mouth. This one Is gigantic. Oh my gosh. Did you see that? Holy cow. It's huge. Oh my gosh. It jumped. It's a drum and it jumped It just jumped like a tarpon. Oh my gosh. I did it again Oh the crap. I didn't even know they did that And he just came out of the water like a tarp hand Oh my gosh Y'all this is freaking nuts. I'm making note for river fishing Bring a net Good idea A landing net Because when your hands are cold This is a little tricky. Hang on. I know you're gonna kick that tail And try to get that hook in me and that is not What needs to happen? I'm gonna make sure you're mobilized. There we go Oh, how about I get my hands on you? Whoo, man. Look at that. That is a heck of a fight y'all Let this guy go You're swimming right towards my chew dude And there's my Kit Kats over there What a dangle Oh my god Please be a catfish That would be wondrous If I got three kitties A trout pole. They are just in here thicker than butter beans Whoa, what's going on with this guy? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come here. It's got like red a red fin Oh my gosh. She's got red red dug umphins. Wow Got something happening, but what's happening is It's going to the frying pan Slam kitty cats on a spinning rod That was my daddy's favorite sound Oh my gosh, it's a crappie. It's a crappie What the deuce man? Oh, dude It's a big old crappie. What the heck man? What the heck? Oh my gosh Big crappie What holy smoke runes, man Son, I was meant to fish today That's a dagum winner right there. That's a winter winner. All right. That's the stringer y'all We're gonna take that home. We're gonna fillet it up Not bad huge crappie Oh my biggest probably like 15 inches though And then some nice channel cats and y'all how much fun I was trying to get some trout I had one little trout on and then I slay some catfish and a big crappie That's awesome to me especially catching them on that little tiny rod So much fun. In you go Job well done And a whole lot of fun I just rhymed You have here. What is nice to just look at your cats the next morning And they are ready to be filleted man, I don't know about y'all but Waking up having a cooler full of fish making a hot cup Of coffee free range speed go original dark and tasty Getting a knife good and sharp And then filleting up your catch That's an excellent morning. That's better than watching cartoons and eating Simon and toast crotch For those of you that have never filleted catfish. It is a cat. There's a lot of ways you can clean it It's like that old saying goes. God. These are a nice size catfish Currently i'm using my crate that I built. It acts as a Sort of table can be used as a coffee table Maybe or it can be used to hold a cooler on top of it clean some fish at a good Thumb level height. So you guys ever heard of the rule of thumb? I've done another catfish cleaning video where I actually take the skin off and it's a little bit more Complicated for right now. I'm just going to filet these And get them ready for the fryer. So when you filet them, it's a little bit different Take yourself a good sharp knife. It doesn't have to be a filet knife And you go in just right at the top of the back here and when you hit the dorsal fin You're gonna there's going to be a little bump and you want to just go around that bump And then come back down connect with the spine go all the way through You'll feel when you get past the rib cage and you can really poke through there Maybe he's almost So bad. I can't even get my knife all the way through and then just cleanly Go all the way through the skin like that So now you got a big old tasty filet Cut right on down to the bone nothing going to waste on that side. We need to cut the skin off of this side Nobody really likes to eat the skin. Maybe some of y'all do but Skin's where you get a lot of that that gamey taste from that and that real dark stuff You gotta have yourself a good grip here riding into that skin I kind of use my fingernail to hold it down and then when you can actually grab it and then pull the skin Towards you while you're cutting my hands are so cold I can't even grab it I'm gonna grab my little fish grippers. Yeah, I can't find my grippers I was using them to clean the deer like clean little pieces of meat off. It was perfect for doing that I'm just gonna have to use my board gripper here. Oh, yeah much easier Well for those of you that have cleaned a slimy catfish and freezing cold conditions, you know how difficult Task this might be to grab this thing. Anyway, we got the filet done on this side Beef filet From here on these catfish you've basically got some belly meat that you could get Kind of follow around to that rib cage there cut into their organs So then you got that piece right there the belly meat. There's also some cheek meat in here This little piece right here that little nugget right there just behind that eye Pretty tasty A couple little catfish nuggets. Just look at the size That crappie y'all That's a big one. I got a little measuring tool right here. Let's see how big this guy actually is definitely over 13 Looks like it'd be 14 inch crappie. That's a good one. Oh, I like flaying you much more than those catfish I have snuck into osg's kitchen right now and I'm cutting fish up on her favorite cutting board In the kitchen with osg. I just came up with that jingle, honey. Do you like it? All right, I'm glad I'm seeing you make up for this cutting board situation It's gonna stink a little bit if you want to do a fish fry for your friends and family Or do it for yourself when you grab a couple cold ones get some golden crispies But when you got filets like this So I'm going to cut them up in like two to three inch seconds So like when it's fairly thick like a juicy bite like that. Wow, bam now on the catfish So basically just like cat Get it cat And then cut it into sections to where Like this one's just going to be a twofer That's kind of thick. This one's longer But it's got more meat on it. So I wanted those to cook a little bit more evenly so About like this Good old chunks right there. There's a pair in there for some reason. I don't know I don't know why it's there, but When you're in OSG's kitchen, there's fruit everywhere. We're going to close today's video out with the cleaning process We're going to pick it up on the next one with the eating process I know I wanted to see it happen right now. Believe me after doing all that work I wanted to put delicious golden crispies in my mouth. The LFD and my mom had something else going on They had going out to dinner, you know, whatever people that don't have small children do So we're going to pick it up on the golden crispies on the next video Y'all I had such a good time in today's video and that's what I needed honestly after having just a really rough week And just going out and enjoying fishing at its simplest form Just taking a rod one rod going out with a little tackle box Walking the bank and just yanking into huge fish. It was awesome It reminded me of why I still make fishing videos because there's these moments There's these days where you just see things you haven't seen before you get super excited And that's what I love to record and show to you guys I don't know if you can double smash the like button, but Give it at least one. Well, y'all gimpy was in the yard last night Left some pretty good Divitry in the ground So what I'm actually going to do is take the catfish carxes.
