It's good times when you're getting the meat. It's like hunting camp. Everybody gathers around you're there for the harvest enjoy the festivities enjoy the primitive nature of Hunter gathering.

It's touching, but we'll throw him back Yes, hey, we did it pretty quickly. You want to go slice them up We have got enough for a good little lunch for me steven and Rob, you know, we could stay out here and catch some more. We got plenty of other bait selections here But we have some hungry fish back at the googin house that need to be fed So I think we're gonna just have lunch all the way around. Hey, sarah just drove on that bridge She didn't know we were here. Oh Sarah was just here she was watching rob catch his first croppy on purpose Isn't that awesome? What do you what do you think about the croppy? It's all about the white bass Okay I just earned like a medal of achievement by being on here with the white bass king Like you guys know lfg is done bass fishing, correct done. That's why you've been seeing no bass fishing videos he's croppy saying I enjoy watching other people catch croppy. It's a good fun community activity with friends and family Look at that Yes Steven's strong So this is where this big propane tank coming in handy For god, if i'm injured or not rob was so generous to bring some of his elk from his Elk hunting trips He harvested two this year at amazing feet and he's already got some of the beat back and he's got a fresh steak Well, it's been in his pocket this morning. I'm trying to thaw out Wouldn't I don't know might not be the freshest Croppy and elk surf and turf special y'all gonna be a nice little treat here Never had croppy no never in my life any of you have you're a true outdoorsman. I gotta tell you Okay, we're gonna flay these up and we're gonna throw them on slap style half shell style Slaps on the grill. Look at that crisp white This is why you catch crappies delicious And we're going half shells on these guys Just like this That's it right there throwing on the bobby No condiments All man taste buds No need for chick-fil-a sauce pepper Basko, I actually just agree with that Chick-fil-a chick-fil-a sauce is good with everything God crappies are awesome if we were bass fishing right now We'd still be out there trying to catch like We'd be on like our first fish. We have a little bit of salt pepper butter chick-fil-a sauce. So what you call man lunch Called that a munch Much good. That looks like it belongs in a restaurant. I kind of feel like I'm also mustard Elk steaks looking prime Yeah, I'm not too worried about that one. That one's good Least of our worries here these other crappies at least the crappies could cook fairly quick. Oh, yeah, see on this whole body I've never done them whole body. It's probably a different way to clean them And that but yeah, that guy's done so good. There's a crappie. Oh, yeah crappies delicious by itself crappie action These are not really flaking yet So you can actually just like the fish was already just just to stay a survival situation Definitely we just cook those things up whole And we just kind of scrape out the meat out of the ribs and everything I could taste the fish in the the meat Like very strong You can taste the fish with the meat you think I can taste the fish in the meat. I think it's good Let's try uh, let's try some straight-up fish a little scale there. We'll just flip that off Hot oh, it's no it's real real warm. Yeah fish All right Hot but very very flaky crappie You can always count on a crappie to be flaky Now the crazy thing is We were fishing an hour ago Now it is a juicy fillet That needs some dang ketchup in a cruise life That needs ketchup in a cruise life, but that was cooked perfectly. Good job, Rob I'll just flex right off the uh the skin there half shell if you get a big one like that big 13-14 inch where we had good to do a half shell mode on that other ones put them in the grease Okay, there's one We'll get another I know this isn't most appealing because it's on concrete It's sitting next to a propane tag, but this isn't uh, oh look at that Smoke in a pancake. It's like yelkin a crappie. Is this five star? No. Are there airplanes flying over? Yes There's a little chewy Yes, how old was this out? You know, you know what grade he was in like three He's in third grade. How do you feel about it? See a little too bloody I think he likes the fish Yeah, oh There's a thumbnail opportunity. What's our final verdict here on on the elk versus fish? Um, don't cook your elk in the same place as you're cooking your crappie from 85 degree water I think you may have a point there. Here's the deal no seasonings on this you're going to get more of the natural flavor I feel like I don't need some black pepper and maybe something else the fish You can sort of taste the minnows that they've been eating small ones. Not so much the bigger Um crappie fillets. Yes, they've definitely been eating some minners down there and you can taste it Just needs a little ketchup is all but gets the job done. You forgot the propane tag That's good Glad I didn't sit on you. Look at those tiny scales My goodness Ever been crappie fishing before? I thought the live bait would be an awesome idea Have them just drop it down there and dangle it and it's super effective on crappies For some days that the jigs are more effective You can drop the jig down there and you can catch them faster in a highly pressured lake or if there's High pressure in the atmosphere Or just the fish aren't biting that well that live bait man It is good and that guy at the bait store gave us huge minnows I would say if you're going to go crappie fishing try to get these mosquitoes are terrible try to get Uh, I'm going to say about like pinky size minnows the ones we had were like fingerling size Almost like a shiner and a little a little too big after eating the fish on the shore We did think about going out and trying some of the goldfish around some of those same pilings and try to get some Big bass or maybe some magnum crappie, but the fish at the guggen house It need to be fed So if you guys want to go see that you can check it out on lukers channel Or stay tuned for the guggen squad channel, but we constantly have to feed gary. He's so small Got to keep him growing so those goldfish are going to good use. We had rob catching his first crappie Colorado elk cooked up with texas crappie on the grill. That's an interesting combo Definitely could have used some condiments there, but it was still good if y'all are fans of crappie Let me know in the comments. I certainly like it you guys know that but I want to hear from you And if you haven't tried it go out there and do it. It's a cool new aspect of fishing I always like to do it when the bass fishing is kind of tough I want to try to focus on crappie a little bit more in the spring too when we have those off bass days Try to go to some lakes that have some monster crappie. I want to get a huge one On the wall and maybe it's up in canada Or maybe I go back to canada and try to go after those monsters again next year It's definitely a cool species It's like a smaller bass and they absolutely wall up the bait and it's fun to catch on finesse gear So thank y'all for tuning in today if you've never checked out lunkers tv channel He'll be linked down below. We do a lot of fishing adventures together Usually a ton in the spring, but this is our first crappie adventure together Also down in the description you'll find links to the new march new camo hats new make every cast count shirts And some other goodness down there wherever you are in this great big world I hope you're having a great day in the outdoors and please somebody sniff a fish for me I'll see your bright and shiny faces right back here on the channel next time y'all.
