Planet Aqua Group and Shreveport Aquarium staff explore and discover what an average day is like working in the Louisiana crawfish industry in this amazing episode of Backyard Bayou
I knew Mr.Daniel was a star on Swamp People...he & Troy are my two favorites...but I never knew Mr.Daniel had such a MAJOR OPERATION, from providing bait to all the fisheries around the area, to providing crab, catfish, shrimp, gator meat, & crawfish. Mr.Daniel HAS GOT IT GOING ON!!! Go get 'em Mr.Daniel...don't let up on 'em...don't show 'em no mercy!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.
@@peterc504yep, this is the same guy. On swamp people. There's only brief mention of his crawfish ponds and St. Mary's seafood. I enjoyed seeing this. Happy to see he's doing well.
No he not he made swamp people a bad show and oh yeah from New Orleans so don't tell me shit about the swamp!!!! I been doing this all my family from them areas so stop it
@James Rhodes I will respect that and what you saying but ask yourself don't it just feels boring when the cameras switch on him I mean it's like he take the fun out of the show yeah I understand that at the end of the day he richer than them because he is I mean the man own a lot of shit lol but when troy Lee are even Willie Hunt it's more exciting than him its like he have problems with his family but everybody else just having fun
James Rhodes. Please do everyone from the great state of Louisiana a huge favor and shut your dam face. Go back to grammar school and relearn proper ENGLISH you fucking Moran. It's idiots such as yourself who give coonasses a bad name.
Born and raised in Texas,thank God for Louisiana. Love seeing my family there,they have a different way of life than any other state I've ever been too
Back in the early 70's we use to go down to Bon Secour, Al. and buy seafood right off the trawlers and shrimp boats. Go back home with a couple of hundred pounds of seafood, clean the fish and get the pans and pots ready to have a cook out Saturday afternoon and night. Man those were some good times!!!
I used to go fishing (actually once) with Danny and one of his sons back in the early 80's in the Southwest Pass. He was a skinny young man back then, and a very nice guy himself.
I love seeing interesting videos made in our home state of Louisiana!! So many people don't realize how much work and time it takes the seafood and crawfish to get to the point where we can buy it.
When I lived in Jackson Mississippi I went to Venice every other weekend. Best catching/ not fishing in my Life. Ducks in the morning, redfish, trout, flounder in the afternoon. Loved it.
i buy Louisianan catfish and crawdads up here in Alberta canada.very proud to support such good hard working decent people..thanks for your hard work and superior product..
Dam that is one of the best humble hard working CEO ever! Dude straight up will change anyone’s life around with his words. He def isn’t in it for the money but for his passion and people.
Hello from Texas. This was an amazingly educational video. Thank you for making it. Because of you, now my nephew wants to go crawfishing... i guess we go crawfishing. Lol
Awesome, Excellent documentary, well presented. I salute the CEO of the Company and,Reporter who did an excellent job in explaining and showing the entire process from catching to distrubation to the plate. Well done!
ALLIGATOR!! - This host is a good sport It's very interesting to learn about the back-side of the business of putting seafood on our plates - thanks for the documentary and good humor
I really enjoyed this video it was very informative and the CEO is a great person i can tell by his values . Maybe run for governor I think he what we need for Louisiana he. Got my vote seriously
@@dirtymikentheboys5817 I live in Louisiana and it’s not all swamp I don’t know what you have been hearing but it’s really fun down here we like to have big dinners and go bowling and are grandmas gamble every Friday XD but there’s a bunch up land it’s not just swamp. And one more thing it’s not for poor people there a lot and I mean a lot of expensive houses here like willow wood
Thank you for doing an outstanding job and getting the food that tastes great. It's a lot of work but I might bite it's worth it oh, thank you again. I'm going to have to find your show and watch it
I was been in Louisiana for 2 times fishing and hunting with my family friends..down the bayou up to Mexico gulp.what a beautiful experiences..and really enjoyed eating crawfish in a native made plate..
Man this looks like a great way to make a living! I plan on moving to Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi or Florida after my youngest graduates high school in 4 years.
Mr Daniel is as friendly as Mr Landry and as smart as they come. He's a great man that's for sure. Always smiling, people always think people in the deep south aren't smart, well they could never say that about Mr Daniel.
I am a born and raised New Orleans, my Mother side is from that way which we call Acadiana or Bayou country, I still stay in New Orleans. Very proud of my heritage.
I'm from the Midwest, waited my life to crawfish. Spent last year doing homework in Henderson LA for this year . I built my boat and it's ready , the flood waters have slowed us down but we leave KS sat morning to fulfill a dream and crawfish the Atchafalaya swamp basin.
@@scottward4316 , yes I did . It was a true experience, I got my commercial fishing license and put out 100 traps . 34 got stolen and the crawfish traps got robbed every day . Going back to Finnish the season and hope to break even . I'm hoping to start a utube channel and share my experience.
@@jimcox6661 Sorry to hear about the thieving going on. Glad to hear you went. You had a dream, made a plan, and you went for it. That's a lot more than many can say.
This was a great video very well put together. I have the utmost respect for those hardworking men and women. The only disappointing part is I just wish I could afford a giant sack of their premium crawfish LOL 🤣
(Sundance) Good ,hard working people. Never been there but if buying the product helps the people there,then im buying any brand that has Louisiana on it.
I was also a Commercial Snapper Fisherman. King Mackerel & Night Diving for Flounder in the Gulf of Mexico. I have lots of Respect for this Guy & His Family. Great Folk's... My kind of People... The Bait well we got it in 50# Frozen Blocks but it's also harvested Commercial to be dried & Ground for fish meal used in many ways like Cat Food. In Pascagoula MS. close to Mobile Al where I live. Thanks Guys for a Great Video
@@lbbradley55 no.. but we flounder out of boats here in Texas. I have a 25 Mowdy Cat we fish out of. People do a lot of diving/ spearfishing but they dont stick any flatties in the gulf here. At least as far as I know.
A little advertised fact is that if you move down here and work in the harvesting of bait or even on a fishing charter baiting hooks for customers, you can be called a "master-baiter" in a very short time. 😁
I’ll be cooking some bugs tomorrow using the only seasoning on earth there is for crawfish; LOUISIANA CRAWFISH BOIL!! So cool getting to see how they do it all!!
The fish they use to bait crawfish is the fish that Jamaicans make the best best fried pierogi but the bones are something crazy you got to be easy with that fish Caribbean people love that fish
& This is why I only buy Louisiana fish/crawdads/ & crab ! I personally know a few fishermen in the Bayou & they said the same things Mr.Daniel said... when you buy Louisiana seafood products your supporting a lot of Louisian families !
When I lived on the Gulf Coast I'd buy shrimp and crawfish wholesale at the docks. You had to buy a minimum of 50 pounds to get wholesale prices, but I had friends back home in East Texas that were more than eager to buy some from me when I got back.
I knew Mr.Daniel was a star on Swamp People...he & Troy are my two favorites...but I never knew Mr.Daniel had such a MAJOR OPERATION, from providing bait to all the fisheries around the area, to providing crab, catfish, shrimp, gator meat, & crawfish.
Mr.Daniel HAS GOT IT GOING ON!!!
Go get 'em Mr.Daniel...don't let up on 'em...don't show 'em no mercy!!!
Much love from Mobile Alabama.
Troy does too. And Willy.
Is Daniel the same guy from swamp people that kills the alligators? He made it sound like that was his only source of income on the show! Lol
@@peterc504yep, this is the same guy. On swamp people. There's only brief mention of his crawfish ponds and St. Mary's seafood. I enjoyed seeing this. Happy to see he's doing well.

Always enjoy watching Mr. Daniel, whether it's taking a tour of his facility or out on the swamp with his sons and others hunting the gators.
Much love for the state and people of Louisiana
This man 8s very smart and thinks aboutvhisvfamiliy and god
I need to get back home, what kind of people start the name of a state(North) when it's in the South?🤣

Amazing video. Born and raised 43 years in looseana. Moved to the PNW and this takes me back home. Thank you!
I love this way of life! The best eating in the world hands down.

I actually met him
@@drewpair7148 how was the experience? Tell me about it? It’ll be an honor to meet him
@@PickledSteak sorry I just now saw ur comment. But he's a great guy, his son introduced me to his dad, and his other son.
He's definitely in it for the money, power, and control

The old man is humble - im guessing he's a gentleman and help a few people too.
He is not a super rich but given some nice livings to other families.
He is rich, maybe not monetarily but he is rich
If owns that operation he is wealthy
I can guarantee this man is worth multiple millions of dollars.
You'd be guessing wrong
I would love to live down Louisiana I'm stuck up here in Illinois I love all about living in the swamp
Swamp land is very cheap. That's why poor people lived there. The south is waiting.😁
Heat, humidity, mosquitos, gators ... but November thru February, you are in heaven.
@@dirtymikentheboys5817 I live in Louisiana and it’s not all swamp I don’t know what you have been hearing but it’s really fun down here we like to have big dinners and go bowling and are grandmas gamble every Friday XD but there’s a bunch up land it’s not just swamp.

What kind of English was that?
Very nice interview. I love Louisiana..
This old man is going to be in the Louisiana history books. I wonder of he realizes that and how amazing it must be to know you're a part of history
Thanks for showing and sharing part of your heritage. Love it.
I wasn’t born in the South but I got here as quickly as I could!
most of these Rich people give back in there own way, no one ever know how but thanks

And that's just a piece of it
Man this looks like a great way to make a living! I plan on moving to Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi or Florida after my youngest graduates high school in 4 years.
Come to Louisiana. Can’t beat a dinner of redfish, flounder and crab every weekend 😁
Mr Daniel is as friendly as Mr Landry and as smart as they come. He's a great man that's for sure. Always smiling, people always think people in the deep south aren't smart, well they could never say that about Mr Daniel.
So he's as friendly as a snake?

Did you get to go?
@@scottward4316 , yes I did .

Never been to crawfish boil , but I want to wait til I'm in Louisiana where they know how to do it right!
Here in Texas we do it the best. Ain't a boil without some sausage, oranges, and mushrooms.
@@NotYourAverageFishKeeper sounds like a road trip! 7 boils in 7 days!
Raised in them bayous and taught my White girl how to cook em, best in Nevada. Does a mean Gumbo too.
It is a great experience, don't wait. Backyard boils are better than at restaurants.
Farmer James did you just call someone a dumbass and then immediately use the word “through” in place of “throw?”
respect to you sir, old school.
This man is a hell of a gator hunter on Swamp People TV
That’s were I remember him from
The old man that owns the bait company and was basically the interview subject.....man, you can just tell, he's good people.
No you can't, go deal with him and see
Great job Thank you for your service
Cool beans, and alligator fishing too! too
This was a great video very well put together. I have the utmost respect for those hardworking men and women. The only disappointing part is I just wish I could afford a giant sack of their premium crawfish LOL 🤣
Great video...
Thank the lord for these folks!
(Sundance) Good ,hard working people. Never been there but if buying the product helps the people there,then im buying any brand that has Louisiana on it.

Cool, very interesting. I'm from Washington State and never knew.

I'm raising crawfish in my backyard pond, works great!
Now I want some crawfish, but its currently 2am, damn it..
Danieles son was my coach this year his sons name is Gabe we had a great time and he is a great guy. Corsicana Tx.
Danieles sons name is Dwayne edgar
That’s exactly why when I see the Chinese crawfish in the store I walk right past it.. nothing like Lousiana sea food. 🤪
Why is it even allowed. Ask Biden?
Although I wish I could agree, Chinese crawfish been in stores for years before Biden thought of becoming president bud
You'll never know how badass mr Daniel is until you see him wrangle/fishing a full grown Alligator
The fishermen's process looks sustainable, hats off to them
He said,lol, this fella might be catching crabs tomorrow, hahaha

The fish they use to bait crawfish is the fish that Jamaicans make the best best fried pierogi but the bones are something crazy you got to be easy with that fish Caribbean people love that fish
Lol I was thinking the same, I could fry up a couple
