 Good morning everybody. Welcome all back to the channel. It is time for another outdoor adventure today. We're getting out on the water Powered by sponsored by our buddies over at Mercury. That's right. Just finishing up breaking in my new Pro XS and it is a dandy. I think this one's got a little more pop to be honest with you Silver bullet feels like it's got a little bit more powder behind it. You know what I mean? But anyway, if you're looking to repower an old boat or just getting a new boat check out Mercury You can check out all their their stats tons of different kinds of motors Link down in the description. Now folks We got chickens now, you know, I love having chickens back and I got to say These chickens are fantastic because they came from a wooded area The the guy Kyle that I got these chickens from his his home is very very similar To mine and so these chickens feel pretty pretty comfortable and there's no there's no training I mean he already trained them to get up on the roost and everything. It's fantastic and those chickens They do they naturally do something all chickens do they hunt and they pack and they find things Sometimes they find a snake And they're out here hunting around this morning. We got a big rain last night So wanted to find some worms They have not found a snake, but I have I was out here with them with my rake I was out here doing a little raking Because we had a big old mess and then I started looking up in here and keeping mind folks This is this is where I spend a lot of time and the kids spend a lot of time look look We got kids chairs right here. This is where Amy swings the mark is right there silver bullets right here and Look who done come out This is juicy one here Look who done Crawled up in that hole and it's ready Coiled and ready That's our old friend the copper schnaz It is always Something here at the treehouse folks when you when you live in the woods or close to the woods You got to expect these things and you know, there's always something I at least got to get my morning Juice in my system before I decapitate a little copper nose and any muggins Mmm, so last year I bought myself just for these situations a Snake grabber and that's not one you want to stick your hand in so if me Stephanie You know the neighbor's dog and God forbid one of our children It's crawling around these rocks Gets tagged. That's it's not only a bad day, but it's a very very expensive day chickens You know what I'm saying? I think this one's a little big for you guys I'm gonna have to take over the reins here and Pluck this baby out. Okay. They don't even know it's here to be honest. They really don't They're being such good little worm diggers right now though. You guys are being great. Oh my gosh I really don't want to find it. All right That one's about to step on it. Oh my gosh That is by the way, that's a rooster That's a rooster in the making right there So didn't know when I got these chickens what they were gonna be totally and that guy is starting to get his Salfellers, which I'll show you in just a second. Let's get the snake first Striking ladies and gentlemen That is a Basically a full grown one right there That is nasty chickens You know what that is that is not good So it has just rained But I just want to show you guys The ground is pretty dark, but I just kind of want to show you guys Dag near Daggum near impossible When these things get into the oak leaves When they get into these oak leaves, it's like perfect camouflage. I don't Lord I don't know why you did this this way, but It makes it tough that right there folks is about as Full grown of a copper head as you're gonna find Now the head is still really dangerous. You know, here's the tail Still moving that head Can still get somebody so I'm gonna take this to side yard way far away and bury it And then clean off my knife real good. So we don't have any venom and then we can go give it a dangle There's always something here at the treehouse. I swear Where's my chickens by the way? Here we are at the mud pit That's gonna be the challenge today folks three inches of Lorraine last night within an hour Just rushing water into the lake. This happens during the spring So that is going to be our our crux today Fishing muddier water can have its advantages. It heats up quicker It's just that when it happens super quick the fish don't have a lot of time to adjust to it and Especially this situation like they were probably on beds a lot of them And they've got more water on top of them now and that can sometimes get them all messed up But at least I don't have to worry about stepping on a snake out here So I'm in a brand new shiny glitter sled, baby Of course being at the treehouse. There could be one in here. You never know. Oh god Just got way laid right there Couldn't quite Fully find it. I'm actually seeing the shad using this leafs as a Well, they're eating they're eating Little micro things on the leaves like offshore Floating reefs here and it is time to change Yep, that's shirt on the month right there Bed fishing if you want to protect your full Beautiful skin you want to keep your skin looking luscious for years. You just throw on a whole performance performance long-sleeve This is where we stay cool and dry. Well, we just found a little crappie pile Yes, we did. Oh Man That's a juice pot right there. I'm not feeling the size, but they're set up to eat eat properly And I just so happen to have Little danglers here Dangle crickets That's the juicy bones Man, just look at this deliciousness of this nugget here man, I Don't think one's gonna be able to resist that. That's the little one there. It's just gonna get Chomps here we go Get ready to get knit Got one on it another one coming gonna be littles. Oh, maybe not little drag pole there Hello bing bong Sorry kid that time of year. It's the harvest time Okay, I'm just gonna face that the odds are just against me today The wind is picking up tremendously now. I'm just fishing a super muddy creek I've got I got one bite that three bass bites all day. I've got one crappie in the box. I've got a white bass Yeah All right, I just got home. Stephanie Is like out of groceries completely I this this must be fate because I honestly would have thrown this crappie back If I didn't know I was gonna catch any more good ones But I kept him and that's lunch. I'm gonna try something that I've never done before You know, I love to try new recipes with with fish Learn different things. I think today. I'm gonna de-scale this guy and eat it like this This is a black crappie by the way. I'm going to just scale it Cut the head off, you know, take the guts out and then I'm gonna cook it that way in a little butter and a pan You know, maybe fine to scrounge up a vegetable or something and that's gonna be my lunch So not a bad crappie probably 12-inch here. Sorry Matt. I'm gonna use your cooler. Oh This is gonna be messy This knife I'm using kind of got a back blade that Works for doing this But I'm basically just going up to that fin And I think if I was in like a survival situation, this would be how I would do it get the most out of the meat But this little fish cleaning board It's nice to have it works Works well for this kind of put that tail in there and scrape it Scales everywhere Break out a bigger knife. We got our head See what the chickens think about this Think about this little fish head something with some eyeballs Get after it They are they're not as voracious as my other ones, you know I feel like the other ones I could have probably just taken anything in here Any sort of body and they would just devour it Those are a little more cautious, but we'll let them nibble on that fish head and I Need to eat this one myself You ever had a skin on crappie? See you got groceries delivered I came in there. There was nothing now. There's groceries now. I just got Yeah You want to hold it with really gooey? Oh, what's on your hands? Hey, okay? You can't touch my crappie Things getting hot quick. You want a speedy lunch? I want I want to speedy Okay It's probably gonna have a lot of bones in it. We're just gonna give it a whirl Sizzling, maybe put a little Lemon in there He's trying to get a little curl back there Get a little curly like Pops? What's this doing? Then it's very in the sticks right now sticks, poles, rods Big stick guy. Huge stick guy All right, a little golden crispy here afternoon golden crispies Makes me feel so frisky It's my jingle for the day. You're welcome. I'll be honest with you. I went a little past the mark. I think She's crispy She's golden past golden But it I just wanted to make sure it's cooked all the way because it you know to get down in there And those bones and everything you get it got to let it cook for a minute without the Without having the nice filet off the bone. So I'm gonna let this cool for a sec Gonna get a little bit of ketchup. Maybe make a little sauce Alright, finish her up here roasted tomato Got lemon juice squeezed on top. Oh, yeah, you know, we like our tomatoes. Oh Man if I had a vegetable garden That'd be it. That'd be done Okay, kids are going a little crazy on the back deck. So I'm gonna sit in my dad chair My favorite chair in here in the house where I can view everything See what's going on Yell at somebody if they're getting on any kind of furniture, they don't need to be you know, I mean Yeah, no, this is working And what this sauce we got going Come on now Little mayonnaise a little ketchup a black pepper all arch boy Hmm You know, it's flaking off that bone nicely, you know, this is similar to eating a trout. Oh, yeah No, this is the way to do it Camp style, you know, if you only have a couple of them I think if I next time I get a giant I might try it this way baking it But you're getting the absolute most meat off the fish as possible switch it up today. I do a little a little trigger Fin and feather seasoning and it's pretty good I'm interested in this little Rip cage area What we can even get out of that. Oh, we're getting a little meat here I'm gonna try the skin that's been on this rib cage right here. No bones in it Hmm. Okay See I managed to get a little meat there And I got the skin that's that's a bite. I've never taken off craffie. All right Here's the big test How's this bone gonna pull out? Oh Check this out y'all done rides. That's perfect It's not I can even take this baby Slide this off the rib bones. Look at that Bones totally out Now we just focus on the glory that is the crappie The body a couple little bone obstacles. I need to figure out a proper cleaning technique With that, but yeah, go That is a good Fisherman lunch right there Mmm clean to the bone, baby Sorry chickens doesn't live All right y'all before we sign it off today. I want to Show you the cockerel Cockerel is the name for a young rooster He's kind of cool feathers that are raining down between his tall tail feather in his wings That's that's called the saddle feathers. That's how we know that he's gonna be a rooster So I I need a rooster name in the comments What's it gonna be? You know, of course once I name him He's kind of like a pat. It's kind of stuck here. I don't know Roosters are loud. I may have to I just may have to figure out this situation but I think it would be cool to have a rooster in the mix to You know watch out for predators and have some talons, you know, let's see them fight back a little bit, you know Fight back against the foxes and the bobcats and the raccoons. I want to see that I want a little little revenge. So old buddy over here. We're not gonna enter you in any fights I just need you to protect the flock. You don't mind And that is all that today's adventure holds. So Thanks for being with me in another day and the great outdoors Warming up quite nicely. We can get this mud to go away. I think the fishing is gonna be be really good This is this whole month. We're gonna have we've had a late spawn. So it's just gonna go on until May I think and just be really nice So so thank you all for tuning in today shout out to mercury again for sponsoring today's video And God bless you and Godspeed in the great outdoors.
