 Welcome back to the channel guys got another juicy video for you here today on the Canadian series Hope you guys are enjoying the series Let me know in the comments down below every day for something different happening And this was definitely my favorite trip that I've been on and there's a lot to offer up there So I tried to switch it up every day and we got something special for you on this video If you guys are subscribers to the channel and you've watched a lot of my videos You know that I do like to do some crappie fish I think because it's kind of a microcosm of finding big schools of bass and then being able to pluck them out and then They are delish so today is an extra special crappie fishing video and they are giants and how we found them is crazy Let's roll Crappie found he's got a fish and it's a crappie sling him in. This is a little one though That's a little one, but we'll take him Yes Crappies the crappies have been located. Oh boys Oh boys Crappie Nicely done dad. Yes Crappies of course, this is a small one for here. Yeah, that's a big one back in Texas There are some stud Crappies in here. Oh, I got a crop. Oh, that had to be a crappie. Wait hit it Yeah, there's another bite. Got him. That's crappie. That's a good good. Oh my gosh These are giants Yeah, yeah, these are giants. Oh my gosh Look at these hammers Oh Gets you some of that boys and girls. Oh, it's happening Mm-mm. Oh my gosh. He's the biggest crappie I've ever seen a giant black crappie. Yeah, this one's yeah, tiny minnows So here's the deal y'all out here on rainy lake catching crappie is kind of a mysterious thing They have gigantic ones. I'm talking common 18 inch crappie. They can get up to three pounds out here on the regular That's a little one right there But they don't have a link limit you can keep 10 Usually they're just really hard to catch and there's this rare time where they get on beds Kind of like the smallmouth are right now, but the rest of the time they're mysterious So everyone up here talks about these crappie and they're more tasty than walleye even they're incredible So what we're going to try to do is try to capture these crappie my dad Yesterday he caught a crappie on a buzz bait I mean crappie giant. Oh my gosh. Get him in the boat. Get him in the boat It's the first crappie I've ever seen hit a buzz bait. Oh my gosh, that's a londo And when he went back and we told the other guys at the camp that they were like what a crappie We got to go back there. We got to see if they're there So that's what we're at right now So if we could put together a good limit of crappie and maybe it's probably going to be my pb crappie I would love to get a replica crappie of one of these giant black crappie up here made We're using these finesse rods in the ompa rivers to cast out. We're using the small I'm using the little micro shad the lft micro shad We're going to probably throw some some hair jigs and stuff like that But you guys just seem to use these in the videos before the ompa rivers. They're Probably the best crappie rod out there They're high-end rods, but they're ain't phenomenal for trout crappie panfish stuff like that back us up a little bit dad You're getting a little too close This guy Is that a crappie? You have another one That's a crappie Oh, yeah, look at his jump. Yeah Don't let him go We have found these crappie y'all Look at that Oh, I don't know if you're gonna be able to swim here Get in the boat Yes Look at the size These were giants I thought it was a bass put that guy in the well. He was right on the shoreline We've located them boys all because of a buzzbait I mean it's You can put that thing right where you want it. It's a little whip buggy whip. Yeah, all right boat positioning boat positioning Oh, sorry One of you sent in some little hair jigs for me I've never used them, but this seems like a perfect opportunity Got one What's that boulder? Oh gosh hammer Hammer time Got you buddy hammers Look at that. We're doing it now Crappie Crappie on that hair jig that you guys sent in it's a it's a giant It's a giant Oh, gosh Oh, baby. Look He's freaking hammers Oh my gosh. That's a hammer dad. Look at that That is awesome. I don't know how long that let's let's just get a quick That's like 14 14 That's huge The other guys told us yesterday. They're like, don't ever don't let anyone see you with even one crappie They're like, don't let anyone see you. They're gonna be all on you asking where you caught them and everything So this might be some secret deal. I don't know, you know in texas. We're just we're catching them and We're happy about it, but up here. It's it's a very big deal and you can catch an absolute trophy That's what i'm really excited about the opportunity to catch like an 18 inch crappie Mount that up in the treehouse. Put that next to a big bass. That'd be awesome They're beautiful black crappie up here. So we got a couple more islands around here I think we're gonna hop around see if we can duplicate this pattern If not, we'll come back and fish these little spots a little bit more They're very concentrated it seems when you catch one throw back in the exact same spot You're probably gonna catch another one You got one too. Yeah, he had it too. That's a tiny one throw him back I might be on this little point area as well. You got another one here. Oh, yeah Oh Being tricky Little one. That's a good one. Is it a magnum? Watch it easy Oh, yeah There's a juicy. Yeah, he's a throwbacker These are beautiful fish Pretty black tails Oh, I got a slime There's a crappie. That's a crappie. That's a good That's a good Get in here boy. There's the old thick back. Look at that Yes, sir going in the grease pile Y'all look inside this live well right now. We're gonna eat so good tonight that look at that Oh man, this is what we're catching them on before we look into the live well This uh lake fork trophy lures Um I think it's a baby live magic shad or micro live magic. I can't remember but it's got a little pink head on it And uh, that's on that yamper ripper. We're just stomping them They're coming in these little patches right here grass with rocks on the backside of this this island the bite's pretty subtle and they're up shallow Look at that That's what we got going guys That is spectacular Oh god look at that that might be a big one dad That could be a magnum staying down like a crappie. Oh god, he break you Got one got a crappie. That's for sure a crappie. That's a good one too Oh, they're all good ones. Come here, baby. Yes These are all slabs Slabtastic My little lure's about had it Oh, there's another bite got him good Good crappie this wind might be helping us Look at that guy big ins these are the biggest crappie I've ever caught geez They're just studs. I don't think I can lift that one. He's so wide They're so wide, you know the big when you're lippin them by the boat. Goodness gracious Oh, you gotta love it Limits 20. I don't think we have 20 in there But there are some solid 14 and 15 inch crappies In that live well, and we're going to put them in some grease They're no good taking them home getting them frozen. You got to do crappies While they're fresh. So here's the plan. We're going to continue out here fishing We're going to do a small mouth Micro popper challenge So that was our original intent this morning. We were going to go do that video Me and dad are going to do a challenge video with that But we got on those crappies We did not think that it was going to be possible because everyone was telling us Oh, if you find crappie, it's it's a golden It's a golden nugget and they're hard to catch and you know All this kind of stuff and then we go out there and we start whacking them the situation We found we couldn't duplicate it. They're feeding on really small minnows We use those pink 116 pounds jig heads with that little micro shad and it was killer for those magnum crappies So now we are going to take it to the kitchen part and do a catching cook with these Mondo slabs most of what I've caught in my lifetime has been white crappie Not so much black crappie, but they are thick and juicy up here guys And I don't know we tried the red hot on the wall eyes the other night and everybody loved it So we might be doing that but when we get to the kitchen we'll decide So if you guys haven't kept up with the other catching cooks, you'll like this portion of the video Of course, it's always my favorite success We just Slayed the crappie today. Now we got to take these babies in we're going to clean them We know these are going to be delicious my first canadian crappies How to switch jackets because I literally had slime all over that one right here is the fish shack This is where all the fish cleaning gets done pretty much out in the middle of the woods. There's Bears that try to get in here. There's actually wolves that live out in these woods. It's kind of crazy And there's also tons of mosquitoes. So this thing is locked down on the screen door. They look nice I measured one that was a 15 for sure You guys back home are crazy. Yeah, we gotta let the guys Any eggs in them? No So we're gonna cook them this size. We're gonna chop them up All right, you want me to turn the oven on again? Calvin, you think we'll need the oven? I don't know Look at that fresh delicious white flaky meat. Look at the size of that fillet. That's literally a crappie Look at the thickness turn it sideways. Look at the thickness on those bad boys This goodness this goodness from the north It's a 25 inch couch chopping in the chunks I'm three three inches long And I'm golden crispies get them juicy. All right, put them in the batter with a new There you go. There you go. Yes lightly better. Put them in Yes, there it is That is lightly bad beautiful Mostly done Cooking with LFD. So you guys know I've done this recipe a few times But this is Frank's red hot Smothered and covered With the chopped crappie fillets and then all you do is just toss it and some You can do all-purpose flour. This is kind of a mixture salt pepper all-purpose flour and a little bit of spices But you really don't need too much spices if you got the Frank's red hot in there This is the original that's original Frank's. I actually like the wing sauce a little bit better Folding is uh, once this camera guy told me this recipe. I learned it from him Anyway, it's huge up here. Everybody in the cabin loves it And we're going to be looking at many more tabs up here at the cat Fish is in the grease when they start to float. That's when you take them out Do a little pad and dry action Then you put it in your mouth You enjoy the golden crispies I Looking good, I think we gotta get these taste tests right here right now. What do you think go ahead, sir Okay You've done a great job here. These are golden crispies. All right I gotta do a raw taste test. Where's the coolest section working on where's the safe place to go On the front part. All right, we've got a nice juicy one here This is it y'all. This is for all the mall. This is all the hard work right here. The fork What's it make you want to be a crappy angler like the boat? The boat you're fishing. I'm not sure. I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure about that. Is that L.F.D? That's L.F.D. Be careful. You'll be able to be on the internet L.F.D. from the hole Godly y'all I wish you could all taste that fish up north in general are way better than the fish down here, especially in the summertime The meat just grows slower. It's super white and flaky, but those crappie I thought the walleyes are amazing and they are but crappie from up there on rainy lake If you guys want to try that recipe you didn't quite get it during the video I will leave it down below so you can try it on your next fish And if you need for you crappie guys or other fishermen want to try that micro shad or I actually don't think it's called a micro shad I think it's a baby shad I've caught bass with it. I've caught crappie with it a lots of pan fish. It's a good little lure And my friends over at lake for trophy lures make it. So if you want to check it out I'll have that link down in the description where you can go get it And if you're looking for that ultimate crappie rod, you're serious about it Or just an ultimate pan fish finesse ultra light rod that yamper river is the deal They are incredibly light and sensitive and just fun to fish with in general and that segues us into the next video y'all Which we are going to use those rods to attempt to catch Smallmouth on top water and do a challenge me and dad go ahead and hit the ding dongs You might get a notification for the videos. I'm not sure how youtube's doing it these days, but I don't I guess it helps until I see you again soon on the next canadian series video fishing freaks Hang on to your crawler harnesses and hit that sub button.
