- Catching huge summer timber crappie on lake fork with Googan Squad Matt. We are using livescope and crappie fishing jigs to catch these crappie off of flooded timber offshore. I then take these home for a fillet and cook on the grill with the huge crappie on the half shell!

I'm right handed crank left hand. The right hand is the power arm for the fishing rod much easier to keep the fish under control.
I'm right handed, retrieve spinning left but learned baitcaster right hand retrieve. Left feels wrong now.
I’m a righty bit will in fact use a lefty cause with spinners it’s like a lefty caster
I’m the same way
Righty here. I crank left handed too. Always have.
Same for me . When my friends use my setups they are always like wtf 😂😂😂
"If you don't like catchin HOG JAMMERS like this then you ain't American"! Truer words never spoken! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
✊🏼🧐👊🏼😎🤙🏼
"thought I had a giant, the trolling motor sucked in my line" LMAO
Minnows will make a big difference on those summer finicky crappie.
When’s googan gonna start coming out with crappie lures like if ya agree!!
This would be great
Man they got you guys hook, line and sinker ! Googan crappie baits will not be any better than the hundreds of crappie lures already on the market.
@@adamsmith3996 you're right! Probably not... and I like to support people i get value from! So I'd buy there crappie baits...
Doesn't mean I don't support other people/companies I do and I support the heck outta these guys chasing the American Dream
@@drosales43 well I have to respect that answer ! Happy Independence Day. God bless america !
@@adamsmith3996 happy 4th my man! God Bless America indeed!!
Crank is always on the right side for me.
Catching slabs in the summer is the absolute best! 🔥🎣
You guys are turning Manager Matt into a regular stick, yes that’s a compliment Mr Matt. Keep up the good work.
Nothing like some golden crispy crappie
I find it refreshing, and dig that you are multi-species fisherman and not afraid to target the crappies and even catch n cook. This is how I grew up, on the crappies and walleyes (trips to Wisconsin). Nothing wrong with it! So many guys and gals are "largemouth bass only" fisherman and I think that is their prerogative but limiting themselves. I have become more of a largemouth and smallmouth bass guy (especially creek smallies in the summer and fall via the kayak), but still times when I target the crappies on lakes.
I just rewatched your crappie vids yesterday😂 Love these vids!
OSG is absolutely glowing! What a lucky guy.
I kinda feel like Rackley is the quarterback of the Googan squad.
Well yeah, looking identical to Matt Ryan will do that for ya
I use spinning handle right side. Feel comfortable to me like my bait casters
Same 🎣
Left hand reel on my spinning setups.
Having some flashbacks of Matt grabbing the line again. Lol
“Quit drinking that it’s weird” omg😂 had me laughing so hard 28:30
You know the fishing is good when LFG starts sounding like Scooby Doo @ 2:15
Nothing like a fresh catch of crappies - well except a fresh catch of saugeye/walleye!!!
Pink head and white plastic, the bomb-digady of Crappie baits!
I'm right handed. I like my reel handles on the left side. No switching the rod back and forth when casting.
Same here.
Justin, Zataran's has a Blackened Seasoning mix that I one on baked orange roughly. I also add a bit of Tony Chaxherie's Creple cause I like it hot. Half melted butter and half EVOO as a dredge and than grill on a castbiron griddle at highest heat for blackened fish too. Use Cavendars Greek seasoning for Emmie's to start and because to cook hers first. Filets cook in a 1.5 to 2 min/side.
I only use left side crank on a spinning reel because I cast with my right hand. I didn’t like switching back and forth. Now with my casting reels I use a right side crank. I can cast and switch to left hand during the cast so the transfer is quicker than a spinning reel.
Love the Crappie fishing Justin! Wear em out!! Tight lines brother.
Crappies down south here are some of the fattiest and biggest I’ve seen since living here. I remember living up north in Minnesota and the crappies up there are so frail and small. I see people pulling up 10 inches all day. Came down here and caught my biggest crappie real quick!
LFG: "You're going home."
Crappie: "You're right, see ya!"
Been ready for some LFG crappie catch clean cook videos!
I tend to use reels on either side, but i do prefer my crank to be on the left when i use a spinning reel while bass fishing to really drive the hooks in and have better control of the fish.
Good to see you still out fishing.
We had a great weekend on the crappie grind as well this weekend. 20 between 3 fisherman most all 13"+ made for a great dinner!
Justin I love your channel. I can no longer fish due to being run over by a Cadillac in 2015. I really enjoy the diversity of your videos. Bass, crappie, elk, squirrels, deer and of course the catch, clean & cooks. Have you ever seen a bass boat for someone who is disabled? I wished there was more content on the Lake Family channel.
When he said sickle cell I lol'ed and said oh no please don't get cancelled hahahaha
That was a good time!!!! I don't think I have ever seen a crappie that big. I like when you do the catch, clean & cook.
"Quit drinking that, it's weird"
Sounds like me talking to my three year old lol
Googan should make crappie jigs and lures
That crappies a slab!! I caught my pb 16in crappie earlier this year and its a memory ill never forget
When I was a kid (50)years ago we would go down to the creek and catch those little catfish(mud cats) and cut the head off and gut em and washed it in the muddy creek. Then get water and dirt and mix up some mud and put it all over the fish and stick it in the coles when the mud turns dry the fish is done and just tap the dirt and it pulls the skin off with but b sure to take salt
That B Roll before the fish cleaning was hilarious. Those sandals were 🔥🔥🔥
half shell red fish is amazing
With casting rods I use both left and right hand rods. Spinning i use left hand crank
Makes way more sense to control rod with dominant hand and reel with non dominant hand. So if you're right handed, put crank on the left and vice versa
I'm a lefty, I like controlling the rod with my left and reeling with the right
Lucky man bud 💯
Lfg you’re a legend.
You are the Man!Thanks for the tips!!
During the summer here in Nebraska, live minnows are the juice for finicky crappie. I have almost no luck using any kind of artificial once it gets hot.
Damn LFG hooking it up. Love crappie...
You can switch the handle on the spinning reel to the other side. It's currently set up for a left-hander.
love the videos
that motor sound sick
Congrats on the mill!!!!
best damn catch n cook ever
Flair needs some LFG tutelage for crappie fishing in his upper pond.
Love the slides!!!! Awesome!!!
Loved the video brother great content from fishing with Matt (always a good time go team nursing home) to explaining how to clean fish to cooking and spending time with the family awesome life brother ❤️🎣
Been waiting for a crappie video!!
LETS GOOOOO!!!
When he threw the 16 incher in the cooler the crappie angler in me died a little on the inside lol
Man you guys have some serious slabs down there. MN's get hit so hard it's not easy to find them that size anymore unless you go up north. Great video!
Richard Gene describes dead sticking best... "I'm going to make that jig do exactly what crappie like, which is nothing"
Another amazing video Sir
So glad to see you back on Fork.. My favorite place and the first place I saw you at the Legends tournament in 2008 in your T A&M boat..
Congrats on the addition to the family! My wife’s due in October 🙏🏾
Those sandals are hilarious.
Hell of a dangle! 💪🏻
Thank you Emmie your hello is adorable. Awesome 👏🏻 WTG that was a huge crappie. Really like that hoodie you got on. The whole fish looked delicious. ~ Texas
So i am used to Matt being the minimum Googan but lately he crushing it! Just messin' with you bro! Nice first catch and steady throughout the day!
An old fashioned LFG Crappie Haul yummy!!
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
I just LOVE the crappie dangle...*sniffs the air*
Nice!! My PB Crappie is 16" caught from a small conservation pond.
Love seeing all the success you're having. Gig'em
I think googan needs crappie line of baits !
Congrats own the 1 million buddy great job from jax fl
Shout out to the Kingpin Matt my guy
The once with the black stripe down its back are Magnolia Crappie
I’ve been crappie fishing a lot out there this year and it is definitely an off year, they are stacked up as usual but getting them to bite is another story. Even with a minnow, they are finicky. I think the amount of bait that’s in the lake has them full!
Golden crispies!
I use both right and left depending on how I’m fishing
I know it sounds weird, but try sweet and sour sauce with your fish, it’s game changer
Right side reel here!
Hell yea, Matt needs to be in more videos!!!
Water with a little chalk?? Yum 😂
Got a 4lb12oz in VA, I had the old book and it said I had the state record. Turns out a guy beat me by 5lb2oz. Thats a slab daddy right there! I thought I had a 2lb bass but when I saw the flash and saw that spotted glory things changed real quick
16 is my pb i was just as jacked to get mine then i got another almost same size very nice fish bout 12 min in!!! just reminded me of mine
I'd just like to take a moment to appreciate the heck out of LFG's boat flipping skills. He makes it look effortless
Thanks 😊
Great video as always !!!
Dang I was getting anxious with the length of time it took to get the dag gone NET! Lol
Every since you jigged that bucket mouth off that bed in that little sleugh/channel next to that dock I’ve been a big fan. I catch them slab crappie on Smith Lake in AL. Had the state record spot back in college and had it shake off the boat (Berkeley power bait June bug). If you’re ever in Alabama near Smith lake I live near Hames Marina I’d love to fish w ya. G. Swindle fishes there. Great videos 🔥
No Dink Pink Baby! Guess Brads giving out my colors!! 🤷🏻♂️
Left handers may put handle on right side or guys that have been fishing baitcasters for years before left hand retrieves were readily available
This dude just told Matt if you lose this fish... oh helllll nah. Lol.
I need me some crappie now!
The crank on my spinning rod is on the right side but im left handed and cast with my left hand. I also cast bait casters with my left hand and crank right handed.
There a trick I found out and it’s the garlic pins that u use for bass fishing and I found out crappie absolutely love it I’ve had days where I drop a bait in with no garlic not get a bite then drop it down with the garlic and catch 10 fish in 10 drops
I love it man! Please do more catch clean and cooks!
Slab city! 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the video.. Thanks
Yall gotta get on the slip bobber game. Might have been great on a deadstick bite like that 🤷♂️
I use spinning real on the right side. Just comes from when I was young fishing with Zebco 33. So when I started throwing a spinning real it felt “right”
PB Dangle nugget golden crispy?
L F G & O S G you 2 are great. Emmie is a 💓.
