 with his fourth AOLI title. Suffering himself from Clark Wendland and Andy Morgan. And at this time, I want to introduce to you, he is the radio, 2019, FLW Tour Angler of the Year, is part of Polaris protein. Let's hear it for Mr. David Dudley. Guys, I got him, I got him. Can you believe it? It's finally happening. This trip's been in the works for 18 years. Maybe 18 in one month. I think he's already started talking about it. I'm Jack. I don't know about Joe, but I've been posting this all over social media. Normally I don't post a lot about extra adventures I do, but when you get a chance to go with the legend in Maine, I think he's the governor. He might become the president. I don't know what he's gonna do, but I knew if I was ever gonna go ice fishing, I said if I'm ever gonna do it, and I've said I'm not gonna do it, but watching Joe's videos gets me excited about fishing on the ice, which sounds weird. I said I'd never do it. I said, if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it with the man, Joe. So he is breaking me. I am a virgin right now in the ice fishing world, and Joe gets to, you know, experience the the outcoming of the virgin of ice fishing. What do you think about that, Joe? Well, that's your intro, guys. This is the secret I've been keeping for the whole trip so far. This is the one and only, the legend of the bass fishing and the outdoor world, Mr. David Dudley. I don't know about that introduction, but yeah, he's a humble fella, he's a humble fella. But we are gonna have some fun. Anytime me and Joe got together when he was on tour, we always laughed, we always had a great time, and I know it's gonna be about the same. I'm sure there's gonna be some mess ups with me on the ice. I guarantee you, I'm gonna do something crazy, and that's stupid, but hey, my challenge is for this series of show is to get Joe to jump in to the cold water. If we can find water somewhere, the ice bath challenge. Yes, you guys, comment below. Who wants to see the legend of Maine jump in, I ain't gonna say naked, but jump in the ice up here in Maine. Who wants to see? Comment below, because the pressure is on you, Joe. The pressure is on you. Well, are you gonna do it? Oh, I'll do it, I'll do it. I know you'll do it. Here's the thing, I brought an ice saw too so we can cut a nice big hole. Now you got me a little nervous. He's actually got the tools to make it happen. I always got the tools. All right, you just gotta tie a rope to me is all I gotta tell you, you gotta tie a rope to me because if I jump down, I don't wanna be going down forever. So, ice bath challenge. So there he is, guys. As you can tell, it's not a Maine or New England accent. David came a long way to get up here. Flight got canceled yesterday, had to move the first flight around a little bit before that, it's just been a super challenge getting him up here because of the weather and fitting it into his tight schedule too. He's got a pretty important season coming right up too, I believe, right? Yeah, we are about to start the season in two weeks and I don't have anything ready. I've been focused about this ice fishing. I think I've prepped my mind. More about this trip with Joe Holland than I have prepping my mind for the Bass Pro Tour of MLF. No, so if he has a bad season, guys, you know who's fault it is. But stay tuned to this series, I think you're really gonna appreciate it. We had a blast on tour together. David took me under his wing right away. Here's a true champion in all the regards at the very top of the game and I'm coming in as a rookie, wet behind the neck and green behind the ears, as they say in some places and took me right in, no big timing or anything like that. So I really appreciate everything he's done for me and he said he had an inclin to go ice fishing. I said, well, I can make that happen for you. So stay tuned to this series, guys, because there's gonna be a lot of stories, a lot of inside stories that you might not hear in the papers. You might not hear them on TV and I'm sure we'll have some really fun, a lot of fun times. Thanks for tuning in so far. We'll see you when we get up north. Here we are at the last stop before we hit the outback. And you guys saw me in the beginning of the show and told you I said I ordered some FXR. I want people who know what it's like to live in the outback and keep you warm and look here. What'd you look at here? FXR, FXR, FXR. Yeah, I have a good inclin and I'm not gonna go cold in this adventure, but looking at these rods, come on now. Look at that, ice fishing rods. I don't know if I'm gonna be used to this kind of little micro-efficient stuff, but. This is the end of the Appalachian Trail, right? All right, so we're at the end of the Appalachian Trail. This is like legit. When you are done doing the Appalachian Trail, this is where you end up at. I can't believe probably how many people have raised their hands up with an accomplishment that is like, that's something to be proud of. I know a lot of people that do the Appalachian Trail do a lot of hiking, but that would be pretty cool. Is it actually right here? Yep, it's right here. This is the West Branch of the Penobscot River. So we're gonna be ice fishing. We're gonna be like Jesus on water, walking on water. We're past that mountain. Okay, we're past that mountain. That's where we're going. Katahdin, if you look back. Katahdin is right there. Yes. I thought you said, Joe, I thought you said there was ice out here. Yeah, I hope you're light. Joe, very much. Come on, I mean, I can stand at the bank and throw out on the bank. This is supposed to be ice fishing. Yeah, it's pretty rough. I'm not gonna lie. It's a bit of a tough year for ice. We're gonna have to pray hard that Jesus will make us walk on water. Bring your own ice. Okay. So that steps can be wilderness. And there's an ice cave there that there's ice in the middle of summer, 4th of July, August, September. There's caves that are still covered in ice in the middle of the summer. Yeah, there's some pretty cool lakes in there. I bet the people back in the day who knew of that cave would take their meats from the sea. Oh, look, we got there. We got there. Is it moose? That's a rare sight up here in Northern Maine. Well, is it moose or whitetail? It's whitetail. Oh, look at them nanny goats. We were going to be looking at darn mooses. Joe over there talking deer. Whitetail deer language. He talking, he talking language. So they yard here. I don't know if you guys have that where you live, but they leave their territory where they spend their whole year and they go to what we have called wintering yards where it's like all spruce, cedar, fir trees. They get a huge canopy so there's less snow underneath and it gives them something to eat. Otherwise the snow gets four, five, six, seven, but deep and they can't survive in the winter unless they're in a wintering yard. So this time of year, the deer all get together. They hate each other's guts. All the big bucks, you know, during the rut, before the pre-runt, but now they're like best friends. Those two little guys there are best friends now to try to make it through the winter. And as long as the coyotes don't get in the deer yards or the loggers cutting out trees, those deer all make it survive the worst of winters, you know, staying in a yard. So really cool. There's a lynx right there. A lynx. You know how rare that is to see a lynx? A lynx. Right there, there's two of them. Look at him looking at us. That is so freaking cool. He's gonna let us get right up to it. Oh, that's cool. Speed up, see if you can get him. I see the foot traps. Well, I see where they went, but that is so cool. That's my first lynx I've ever seen in my life. Oh, look, there he is. Oh my gosh. He's feet from us and don't care. They're crazy and awful. Isn't that so cool? How's that, David? Oh my gosh. That is like the coolest thing ever. Look, there's the other one. Oh, look at that. Did you get a good picture of it? Hey, hey, hey, right there. Okay, just, they're kidding. I wanted to ask you, what was I just telling you? Literally 10 seconds before that happened. Okay, so you see this curve in the road right around that curve. He was telling me about a lynx that he trapped years ago and you wasn't allowed to trap lynx because they are a protected animal. And sure enough, as soon as we turn that curve, he goes, look, there's two lynx in the road. Like 10 seconds down the road and what's cool about it is this, the story that he was telling was him letting the lynx go and that could have been generational lynx from my man, Joe Holland. It could be the grandkids. That is so cool. So that's a federally threatened species. They primarily only feed on snowshoe hair. And snowshoe hair have like 10 year cycles so they go up and down. So it's pretty low year on rabbit right now. So they could be having a hard time but the cool thing to see, like one really cool thing about a lynx is, so like an adult lynx foot will be over six inches. So those were both kittens but that's still like four and a half inches and they have fur in them and their pads are wide. So they could be on top of the lightest, like see that? Those are all rabbit tracks. See those rabbit tracks? So they either just killed that joker or they're hunting them. And like, look at all the rabbit tracks here. Oh, are they right there around the waxily rabbit? But those are lynx tracks there, lynx tracks there, those are nice ones. And then the difference, like the biggest, easiest way to tell them apart is from a bobcat is they have longer ear tufts, like a lot longer. And their tail looks like you dipped them in a bucket of paint, black paint, whereas a bobcat's is black on the top but it's got white on the bottom, whereas a lynx is black and tight, just like you dipped it. So those were like super nice. I was, I thought the same thing. I just, I didn't know if I would do that. Three here, because look, there's a set of tracks there there and we had one over there. So there were a minimum of three here and they're all over these rabbit in here. And all because my man turned loose the lynx from years ago from him trapping. My first lynx ever, I caught right there. That's so cool. It's like, whatever, 10 seconds up the road, he was telling me that story and we turn around. It just shows, follow the rules guys, follow the rules and you'll have sights like this. All right, so here's a log and truck that these log and roads are made for and he's coming out with a huge load. Not as huge as Joe was telling me. Joe, was that, was that a huge truck or? No, that one was road legal. So he can go down the road with that. But most of them, a lot of them are oversize. They're like 14 or 16 foot wide and 110 foot long. So they're not legal to go on tire roads. 110 foot long going down a road. So they'll do triples of those. They'll hold three trailers on one caboose. Ah, caboose. So he's been telling me about these log and roads with log and trucks and how many times he's experienced some scary situations. So you always want to give them the most footage on the road that you can give them is what he's telling me. They drive like animals. They don't slow down, but nothing. All right, Dave and I are going to go get a piece of chaga. I just bought it off the teal off the road. Oh, that's pretty deep. I'm going to let him, I'm going to let him break trail on this. I don't have my clothes on yet. Here, but I spied a piece of chaga. I want to be quick just in case a log truck comes. But yeah, nice piece of chaga right there, reachable. I didn't, all my axes are back home in the tent or in the snowmobile. But this is a piece of chaga right here. This has the most antioxidants of anything on the planet right there. It's a mushroom and it's like a parasite to the tree. No, it lives off the tree and it gets sucked up through the sap route and it'll protrude wherever the weakest part of the tree is and eventually it'll kill that tree. So that's it right there. So from what I understand, this is the highest antioxidants in the world. And what did you say about diabetes? It's been known to either stop diabetes. I don't want to say cura, but I've read that. OK, so you guys know I'm a diabetic. He spotted this fungus going 30 miles an hour down the road. He hits the brake. I said, what are you doing? He spots a piece of fungus with snow on it on the side of the road. And yes, as soon as he told me the history behind this with diabetes, I said, we've got to go back and get it. So look at that thing. Look at that. So I'm going to try to knock that off the tree with just a hammer. And I got a claw hammer, too. There we go. Oh. Watch your head. I should have an axe for this, bud. Uh-oh. Uh-oh, I thought it was coming in. Even if we get a piece of it, we don't need ice. I am so going to eat this. We're going to drink it this week. I mean, drink it. I need my axe. But we'll get it. There we go. That was a piece. And then the Native Americans used it, but they also used the black is highly flammable. So they used to shave the. So we're about to drink something that is highly flammable? Yep. Come on. Yeah, that's what they used for fire starters. That just don't make much sense. There it is. And we'll chop that up. We'll chop that up and drink it. Chopping up highly flammable fungus to cure diabetes. I don't know about that. He wasn't expecting this on this trip. So that chunk right there, all we're going to need is a golf ball off that for this entire trip. The golf ball lasts me a month. So I'll send the rest of that home with David. He's got a year's of golf. Now, good thing. My buddy grinds it up into a powder. Runs it in a stirring machine. Drinks it every day. Chaga. It'll put hair on your chest if nothing else. Or on your face. That's how I got this. Guys, all right, guys, we made it. We made it up here. We're in the Chamberlain parking lot. We're all loaded up. Got the Mr. David Dudley here. He's going on his first snowmobile ride ever. And look what he's on, guys. He's on the old slush magnet. All I hear is this is just like the man, Joe, the legend, this slush magnet is a legend. And I get my maiden voyage on the legend. I'm looking forward to that. I got my maiden voyage on it too a couple of years ago. She's 370, all sorts of kitty cat power, long track. So we got some serious slush to contend with on a serious note. So I told him, just punch it going into it. If you don't make it, we'll tell him. That's right. I hope you got a tow rope. We do. But I think you'll make it. Just give her some gas. Feet of the corn before you get there. And then don't let off on her. Feet of the corn. So we're going to head out now. We got like a, probably a 20 minute snowmobile ride to get to camp. And then we're going to unload the sled, get him all set up in the camp. And then we might go out and maybe do a little fishing today, maybe eat some fish. What do you think, bud? Oh yeah. That's what I'm talking about. That was awesome. The view out here is just like breathtaking. Oh my God. You wait till the sunrise and sunset. It's the best I've ever seen in my life. Tidda first snowmobile. How'd you ride? Trip rode like a Cadillac. A Cadillac. Nice. No trouble in that slash. And there's going to be fish out in that field right there. It's just a field, right? Yeah. It's just a field. I'm so used to looking at, you know, like fields of grass. I'm not used to looking at this and saying, hey, there's fish right below there. Yeah. We'll get some rucks out about 50 feet away. But I'll wear my buddy's ours, good lake trout and white fish. That's blowing my mind. Blowing my mind. All right. I'm ready. Let's go. All right. This is home sweet home. I'll show you. I'll show you your accommodations for the next week. Hopefully they're up to your standards. Oh, whips. We call this the Taj Mahjol. Or maybe the Taj Mahjol. You could go yellow wherever you want, as you could see. But do brown at the end of those footballs, at the end of those foot tracks. Is that the road to the number two area? Yeah. There's some raisins over there. All right. Here's home sweet home. Hardwood floor. Nice and warm in here. We've got chandelier lights up in here. Yep. That's your bed right here. All right. You've got a new pillow, new pillow case. Actually, you've got a new sleeping bag, too, to be honest. Dang. We've got a new pillar. We've got all kinds of stuff up here. Insulated. That's cool. Insulated. We've got a buddy heater. And then here's the kitchen. We're standing in the kitchen. The kitchen. Yeah, and then this is all the supplies for the week. A little bit overkill on that, but better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. There you go. I'm excited. What's happening, fellas? What's going on, Joe? Who's the job master on the point? Holy crap. He wants the jobs. You guys smacking them? I'm good. Oh? I had one decent Lakers over there. That's what they're doing, just grabbing it and going. Lakers, you think? Or whiteies? Plenty of whiteies over here. Yeah. Any way near bottom? Burbot. Burbot. Nice. Size? No. Dang it. How's it going? David, that's Brandon. That's Mark. That's me. David. Mike. Mike. Mark. Mark. I was getting ready to be my first fish I've never seen caught on a lake right there. I've never fished or not. David brought you a present for the camper. They said you boys like to drink, so I got you. Oh my, good one. Yeah. Thank you. I don't know whose camper that's going to, but. It didn't need to come to eyes last night. I heard Slim had a night. Slim was in using good shakes. Really? Geez, that's got to be good. It wasn't pretty. That is Slim. Slim wasn't using the bucket? No, he did take a nap for a bit. He did? Yeah, we had never reached you. Yeah, Joe, so we fished yesterday, and then we run in, and me and Cameron wanted to go for a ride. Good. How you doing? Slim, my buddy, David. Hey, Slim. David, Slim. Good to meet you. So me and Cameron's like, oh. So I left when you guys were heading out. We topped off with fuel when you left. Yeah. I have no idea what's in that fuel. We got to, like, out off a useless road where that weird y is where we was, and we just stopped for a minute. So Cameron's like, my sled's messed up. Something's wrong, Brandon. He's like, we got to go back. I was like, all right, we'll head back. And we didn't even get to Webster. I'm like, my sled's messed up. Like, I had no power, backfire, and like, jeez. We get back. We barely made it back. I can't even believe it almost died once, oh, by Yosha. Cameron's did die once, and we made it back. It was six o'clock, and I was like, we got to get to town and get some rigging. So we went back and bought like 10 fuel cans, that friggin' track supply, come back, pumped all the fuel out of his sled, pumped all the fuel out of my sled, then puts it back, they still ain't, it ain't great. Really? No, it's not good. So you think it's got injectors? Would it be in, no, it wouldn't be injectors. What is it? Something in that fuel, that fuel won't burn. You can't get it out? I took it all out, but I mean, all you can get out on a siphon hose, the tank goes all the way back to the back of them dams. I know it, and you don't know what's in the lines. Right, we got to probably, I'd say we got all by about a gallon maybe, and then we put 10 gallons of fresh in it. It was getting better, but I don't know. We'll say Cameron's. I suppose it's water? It's something. Diesel? We filled. Did you go to the diesel pump? No. How much was it? Yeah. $455 worth of gas. No, an ethanol fuel. 450, oh, non-ethanol. That ain't non-ethanol. 90-some gallons in that tank. I'd be getting a refund. Something? 90 gallons of junk. Was your tank junk? No, there is nothing wrong. You can look right in the tank. I don't understand it. We filled milk jog up last night, let it sit overnight. I don't get it. I have no idea. Go on it. Yeah. You do? Take it. Take it. I want to see y'all do it. All right. Oh, my God. Oh, man. That thing's got a lot of line going. He's coming back. This got to be a laker, huh? Oh, yeah, it was peeling. The other one didn't fight. Oh, right here. We'll have to go up. Oh, boys. We got to run. Who's that one? There he is. Hey, size? Yeah. He's not near. Mountain crowd here. Yeah, I was kidding. We'll have you. Now, I'd say definitely a laker. 25 is the brookie mark. Come on. That's boss. Bottom mark. Oh, yeah. Now, he didn't like that. He didn't like the bottom mark. He didn't like it. It's only six pound test, y'all. I'd play him. I got you playing a slot. OK. Yeah, boy. Yeah, boys. Let's get a look at you, baby. Get his head up, yeah. I don't like that one, man. Yeah. See how he's letting that have him back? Oh, it's not 80 pound braid. You've got to go around. Oh, yeah. Nice laker. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, come on. That's a keeper. I'll be big as my last. Who's is that? Brandon's? Rowling? Just a dog right there. Is this the one that keeps going up on him? Sounds like a whitefish. I think it smelled like a chubby dog. I think they've been taking it out. Oh, boys. There he is. There he is. A whitefish. That's a lake whitefish right there. 16 inches of keeper. That'll keep. That'll keep. That's good. That's what you call a whitefish. Yep, that's a lake whitefish. That's a good one, yeah. That's a good one. If I got tape measure, you want to eat him, Joe? He's bleeding bad. Yeah, he ain't going to make it. Oh, my God. Is he 16? Yeah, he's 16. Oh, yeah. He's 16. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's not going to make it. Yeah, he ain't going to make it. Let's keep him. That's fresh water haddock right there. They're good, ain't they? Yeah, mind your own business. Oh, jeez, I'm looking at the wrong one. Here, hold that baby out. So you just caught Dave and I dinner. Tell us about it. Yeah, well, she's no wonka, but you. We'll eat that, too. Yeah. That's an hors d'oeuvre. Good whitefish, bud. 16 and a half inch whitefish. Keep up for dinner, Joe. Perfect. Thanks, bud. Throw her in the back. The old Chuck Norris chop. Chuck Norris. Side chop right there. Put that on it. Well, I was going to cut his head off. There's two of them looking at. Got him. Yes. Got him. All right, buddy. Got him. Oh, this might be a laker. He had some competition coming in. That's a good fish. This might be my first fish, Joe. How'd you drag it? This could be my first fish, Joe. Oh, it's a. What do we got? It's a sucker. I got a sucker for a sucker catching a sucker. I don't think I've only seen that once. A sucker catching a sucker. That's crazy. Uh-huh. Brandon's going to use that bait right there for a, this is bait for a giant lake trout. Oh, that's what we're talking about. Hold them up. Would you look over there? Mwah. Big size. Oh, I don't know if I'd do that. Would you look over there? I could definitely see the resemblance. Hold that baby out. Would you look over there? Would you look over there? Pretty good sized sucker. Mwah. And there was two suckers. Oh. Almost a catch release. Almost catch release. Yeah, we'll give that to Brandon for bait. Okay. He'd love that. All right. He'd better catch a giant. I think that's the only thing you'll catch on that. But I reckon what I was getting at now that we have forward-facing sonar, what I was doing was confirming what he was doing was, he's just saying, hey, I'm over here and they don't care. They would come to him. Yeah. And that's now that I've seen forward-facing sonar, so they're a hundred foot. They don't know really, I mean they might know my presence, but as soon as I turn the boat and start v-lining right to them, I mean the whole school's like, hey, let's go check this out. And they come straight to the boat. I got my little tiny bait on. Little whitey, little whitey, little whitefish. These things are great. Look. They're pretty. I don't know if this one, they smell like cucumbers. I can smell it on this one or not. It might not be big enough to smell. Little whitefish. Yeah, I got to catch something. Look at that little tiny lure. Wonder brood. The other whitefish. I think he bumped me. Yeah, he's interested in you. He's all over me. Yes. Got him here. No, you got it. Dude, these things fight hard for as small as they are. Yeah, he come in there like, I might lose him in a boat. What do I do? Nothing. I'm just going to boat. A little better. Dude, that's almost a keeper. They flip out like a tuna. Oh, the hook already popped out? Yeah. Got into you? Sweet. Got two on one. He would keep if we wanted him, but we got enough fish to eat. And he's not hooked deep, so whitefish are kind of fragile. Show him to the camera real quick. We want to fish that one, that lure. Nice lake whitefish, guys. 16 inches. That's a keeper. Got him on a little Wonder Bread. Castamac. Wonder Bread. That is a perfect name for that fish. Right? Isn't that awesome? Yeah. That could not be any more perfect than that. For the fishing, my first experience ice fishing, I'm telling you, is the way to go. I might actually, Joe, consider moving to Maine in the winter. I never thought I'd say that, but listening to the peace and quiet, having the lake all to, basically all to ourselves in nature, don't get no better than that. That's the key. So you're saving the skin off all those fish? Yeah. I'm going to set this hook right here, okay? Oh, look at that pink meat. Oh, we might have to eat that sushi style. So we're saving that? Yeah. Sweet. You're saving the fins, too? Yeah. Yeah, we're going to set them out off, but we'll make like little chips out of it. Sweet. We won't have many, but... It's all right. We'll mate tomorrow. Yeah, true that. Bright orange meat on that lake trout. I mean, that brook trout. He had a full belly. I'm curious what he was eating. Oh, look at that big chunk of boneless brook trout. That was a good size fish. The end. Beautiful. So with these, we just... Where'd that guts go? I don't see those guts. We're going to cut these up like potato chips, and you score them really like it's that much meat on them. Try to get them super clean? Yeah, a little bit better than that. Do you see what I'm saying? Put them in there. And throw them in the pan? Yeah. In oil? Yeah. And you can use starch. Starch gets them crispier. Oh, really? Like corn starch or something? Yeah, corn starch. Well, that's what corn starch does. So look at all those little potato chips right there. Or skin chips. What they do, they do it with salmon. They do it with salmon. Don't do the cask. Oh, is that what that is? No, I don't know. That's a trout. Oh, yeah, that's still a trout. Yeah. You don't want to do the cask though, because the cask has got like dirt that comes off the skin like way after it's dead. We got all the hooks out. We're going to feed these to the fox. We got a local fox that's been kind of poking around camp. We see the tracks in the snow. He got pretty close to it, so he's hungry. So why not? We're going to give them the remains. But there were some hooks in those fish. We made sure we got the hooks out first, because that's an awful thing to do to anything. So we got us some skin chips. Dudley's showing me how they do it when they cut fish all the time. I've never had skin chips. I've eaten skin on trout and smelt before. Just cooking them all kind of whole, just gutted. But this is pretty exciting to have skin chips. Get on nice and crispy. Here we go. Got us a little... Here we go. Looks good, buddy. I'm getting hungry already. I know it. So we got cask, brook trout, white fish. We're going to let you guys know which are the best. Those are great fillets for brook trout chips. And then this is just junk, I think, right? Yeah. Okay, I'll put that in the junk pile. Pretty darn good. Who's got a funny Game Warden story? I know, man. I mean, yeah, we all got them. Funny what you like. I love this to the Game Warden. I got a bunch. They're brilliant. Because obviously if you put bait out, you've got a bear coming right back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. No, North Carolina you can bait. And all they do is run every camera in the morning and figure out which one they want to turn on. Just like Maine. That's what they do. Freshest, freshest. These tattacams and stuff have changed it all up in Maine. Absolutely. Them guides wake up in the morning and say, oh, jeez, we got a nice bore at, you know, four o'clock this morning game on. Yep, yep. Saves a lot of gas and running around knowing, you know what I mean? You don't have to tend your, like, we run some baits for our buddies out in Ohio that come hunt with us or whatever. And if that bait, you might be on a four, three or four-day rotation, but if it ain't been hit and you ain't got no pictures, you don't need to waste your gas to go do it, you know? I'll tell you who put me in my place about baiting. No, this is 10 years ago. I was like, eh, baiting, that's really not hunting, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Ted Nugent. Ted Nugent. He smoked my butt. And everybody who watched the show, Ted's there, he's got his big box hands. He's going, throwing the corn out. It looks like the yellow brick road mounted on the corn. Ted Nugent looks at the camera and goes, I know what all of y'all are thinking, including me. If you think this is not baiting, or that you think it's wrong not baiting, he said, I ain't got one thing to say to y'all. He said, if any of y'all have ever put a worm or a minnow on your hook, you ain't got room to talk. And I went, smoke me. I was like, all right, let's hunt over bait. It really did change my mind when he said it that way. And I throw bait where I want to throw bait at. And he said, all you guys that hunt over white oak trees and when acorns are dropping and all that food is below the ground and you're setting your stand up on that, you ain't got room to, I mean, he was going off. And I was like, just, oh yeah. Okay, all right, let's bait. Don't give me some corn down. I'll hunt over it. You know, he's the one. Way more ethical shots, everything. He put me in my place, so now my- Can't mean. You can't deer hunt over bait. Can you guys bait deer? Not in Virginia, but you can dog hunt them. Oh yeah, we dog. They dog hunt them. Dog. That's where you're from. Yeah. Our record is 63 deer by three o'clock in one day. Let's go. 63. That's Washington County's total last year. Let's do that. It was a peanut plantation, damage permit. You know, it was all legal. It really was. It was all legal. 150. And the actual farmer came out there and he said, if a deer runs by you and you don't shoot, he says you're- Don't come by. Yeah, he said you're never welcome back. I've heard that before. You're never welcome back here again. We were hunting one day and it's like a little, it's basically an island and a deer always get on it. And so we killed 31 one year and 31 another year. So we were going around picking up all the deer in the boat and I looked and here comes two nanny goats swimming off. What do you mean nanny goat? Does. I call them nanny goats. Two doves come swimming off. I said, Jacob, I said, go on over there. Do them. He pulls up there beside them and as soon as he got close, I reached out. He said, John Lee, do not put that deer in the boat. And I'm holding the nanny. I guess she's going eh. She's going like this and the mama done turned. He's like, do not put that in the boat. Now we're all laughing our butt off. So I just drop it back. Mama done turned in. So this one gets up and it starts swimming back. Mama makes it to shore. We don't stop the boat. We're just giggling, watching mama gets up, shakes off. She goes. Well, anyway, we was on a deer drive over there. And you know what? Some of the land, a lamb deer over there, what we call what he? Nanny goats, nanny goats. Little baby lamb. Nanny goats. Nanny goats. Yeah. 40 pounds, 30 pounds. Down there. Well, we're on a deer drive in this full land. Only three of you, right? Only three of you, right? Oh no, there was plenty of us. We were in Ohio. Oh, you were in Ohio. Yeah. I thought you were in Maine. In our buddy, we were out in Ohio. Him and his buddy was on the high ground. Jesse was in the low ground. That deer took off and there's like a, on the property line, you know, page wire or whatever, found fence. And that deer went right through that page wire fence and got stuck. And I think it was just probably going, you know what I mean? So Bobby and Jeb go over and there, one of them was hanging on to this deer and the other one was trying to get his head out back out through the page wire. They rustled this deer out and let the thing go and the thing just kind of looked at him and it walked down over the hill and to do to do. Boom! Jesse shot it dead in hell. He comes up over the hill. He had that just like a jackrabbit over his shoulder. And Bobby's like, I knew you weren't going to let go, Jesse. My secret mix. I like a secret mix. All right. We got Dudley's secret mix. He said something about black in Old Bay. I know in Maine we'd never even heard Old Bay. I wouldn't never heard about it other than I went to his crab shop to the right saw if he wanted to offer. Yeah, that's all. My secret mix. This right here, Joe. I'd have to hurt you. I mean, don't ask me what's in here. I won't even ask. Don't ask. I'd have to hurt you. I'm just saying. It's smelling good. I know that. That's quite a mix in the Pam. We got Cusk. We got Whitefish. And we got some brook trout in there. Getting a nice good sear on them in the pan. This will be my first time eating. What's it called? Cusk. C-U-S-K. Look at that. What'd you look of there? What'd you look of there, Joe? What'd you look of there? Yes, sir. That's definitely a piece of Cusk. That's good. That is good. We get ready to eat what they call skin chips. So it's like potato chips. But it's the skin of whatever fish you eat. Salmon chips are pretty common items. So basically, as you can tell, this is the skin off of the trout that we caught. We're the Band-Aid. We are going to season these up just like you would a potato chip. Put them in very hot oil, sear them, get them crispy, and you actually get a lot of flavor, of course, with the skin. And you scaled them, too. Yep, scaled them. Yep, scaled them. So we're going to dry them up a little bit. I don't like to put... You don't want a lot of moisture going into oil when you throw them in there. You want them to be pretty dry. So all I'm doing right now is putting these out right now. We're going to dry them up and create our fish chips. Getting them dry. Now we're going to season them up. And you want to go pretty heavy on the seasoning because when you put them in there, more than half the seasoning will fall off. And it doesn't take long to cook them. I like to use grape seed oil. Grape seed oil is a higher temperature and it's a sweeter oil. It's one of the highest temperatures you can cook, but you can use whatever oil you want. We got it at a high temperature. That thing cooks so hot, man. It does. You can go on the other side. It's a little easier to adjust on the other side. See how it does without corn starch. Because I got that Louisiana seasoning and that's probably most of the corn starch. I probably didn't cook that one long enough. Oh, wow. That might be better than the fish. I know. All right, guys. That is going to do it for tonight. We are in bed cozy up, not to each other, to our sleeping bags. David's over there. Sorry, but it's a little less light. He's trying out the new brown and sleeping bag. He's going to let us know first thing in the morning if it's any good. I'm over here in my old Cabela's. I know this one's good. We're in the teens. It's getting pretty chilly out there. It's clearing up. Had an awesome day. Awesome day picking them up down Bangor and we had a great ride up. Got to see some deer. Got to see some lynx, which are pretty close to endangered. They're on the federally threatened list and got really close to lynx. And then David got to meet the boys and we got to hang out a little bit. We went over and hung out tonight, told some stories, heard some stories, had a great time and came back and ate some fish. So all in all, great day. Tomorrow we're going to fish local to here on the Chamberlain chain and see if we can get a couple of native brook trout topside. And we'll go from there. Thanks for tuning in, guys. See you tomorrow.
