Here is a southern boy tip on catching gar. Take a piece of white nylon rope, about 1/4" in diameter. Burn one end so it will not ravel. Now cut it about 6" long, but do not burn the cut end. Now comb out the nylon rope about 4" down from the burnt end. Once you have it combed out really good, take a short 12" piece of wire leader and run it through the rope just under the burn end and make a small loop and add a crimp lock, completing the loop. Now at the other end of the wire leader, add a strong swivel and a loop with a crimp lock. NO HOOK NEEDED. Tie the swivel to your line and cast it in the river, pulling it erratic thru the water. If a gar hits it, he will get his teeth hung in the combed out nylon rope and will not come off. Good luck.
Frayed not....lmbo
Jeremy Wade used that method to catch needle fish when he was with a native tribe. It was a spider web they used, but exact same principle.
I remember reading that in an old fishing book in the 1970s. The book was much older.
You know, you COULD have washed the bucket lid off. Sitting on the edge of a 5gal bucket has caused blood clots and strokes in 20somethings.
Gar is awesome !!! They only eat live fish so you don't have to worry about them swimming up inside a dead animal to munch , like catfish. .. 😂
I love bankfishing for small fish species. If it ends in the skillet, it’s even better.
Thanks for sharing, Spencer.
Bring more videos with Ella and Woody! 😊
I'll try and talk them into it. Glad you enjoyed it man!
❤
😂 first time I seen your show it was really cool I like catch and cook shows you guys in the Midwest better water-wise then us out here in Central Valley of California but you are correct catfish are delicious delicious😊
Great episode! Has all my favorite elements: Low-key/low-budget/no fuss fishing trip. Interesting mix of fish. Quick pace. And really fun check-in with Ella! Your tourney coverage is always fun and entertaining to watch too, but these are a nice break and it is really great to see the both of you having so much fun around home. More of these sorts of episodes would be great. Many thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it so much man. I have a hard time sticking to a single program, so I'll definitely keep trying to work these kinds of videos in. Thanks for all the kind words!
Make Poor Man’s Shrimp from the drum.
Cut fillet into 3”x 1” strips and boil for a couple of minutes in water seasoned with crab boil seasoning. Chill and serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges
OH MY GAWD> THis video was about Drum? Oh jeez
Pleasure as always Sir and congratulations to 150000 man !
Well deserved and you deserve so much more to, for sure my favorite channel, always bring a smile to my face 🍺
You're making me blush haha. Thanks man!
The secret to hooking a gar is understanding a gar. I use minnows for bait. Live or dead does not matter. When they take the minnow, it lies across their jaws. If you try to set the hook, you'll only pull the hook out of your minnow and the gar gets a free meal. You have to wait until they rise to the surface to flip the minnow around head-first and then swallow. Sometimes they will swim for a hundred yards before they'll swallow it. You will see them stick their snouts above the water. I float them towards the gar and if they take the bait and your cork goes under, give them free line until you either see them swallow the bait or the cork surfaces, and you see their snouts snapping above the water. Wait as they swim off until you can't wait anymore. Then, wait a few more seconds. And then hit them hard!
Enjoy your 5-foot gar! ; )
I'm from the South - hook a 7 Foot Gar and you'll have a wonderful time... one come close to sinking me in my little 14ft Flatboat out in a Bay in Lower Louisiana... :)
Hey man this video was awesome ! I grew up fishing ,swimming on Missouri River..The flood of 1993 took our town Cedar City about 300 yards from the river ..My friends and I would fish the blue holes created by the rivers currents ..I recently brook my grandson gar fishing he had the best time ..I enjoy everything thing your about and definitely make more like this. ✌️
This was 25 minutes well spent. You have a great laid back presentation style that really made this entertaining and easy to watch. Excellent video. 👍
Thanks for the kind words. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Yay! Ella was in the video! I like the catch and cook episodes. This one was really cool with all the different species and the taste test with Ella. Fun stuff.
Dammit Spencer, if I wasn't quite so broke I'd fly out there and hire you to take me on a catch and cook. I've only eaten catfish and white bass and prefer the catfish over the bass. Good episode.
Let me know if ya can ever make it happen. I'd be happy to fry ya up some. Glad you enjoyed the video man!
Should line up the different kinds of catfish and see what one she picks is better.
Also I would like to see how you clean/filet your fish so if you could make a video on that that would be awesome and much appreciated. Keep up the awesome work buddy
Gar is excellent! Sort of a lobster consistency. They're easy to clean once you've done a few and if you have the correct tools for the job.
Yoooo I’ve been saying that! Glad I’m not crazy!!
Heard that the eggs are poisonous,might want to research that a little ,I just eat the meat.
The eggs are toxic yeah, but other than that they are delicious friends of mine have always been surprised they were that good. I just bread or batter dip and fry them like chicken nuggets.
@@charlespierce7628 ,👍 Just wanted to put that out there for those who might not have the information.
2:34
Haven’t done that in years. Last time I did that with a couple of buddies, we are all very experienced anglers , but we grabbed a six pack and went down to the river. We had the same kind of a mixed bag. We filleted up those into nice sized chunks and fried them up with different dipping sauces. So we had a nice feed for 6 adults. All the wives loved the meal, and I was just dead simple like fishing when we were kids. Pearch, crappies, catfish, walleye and they were all excellent.
would be cool to see how many different species you can get in one day to cook up as a challenge!
I dig that idea. Thanks dude!
Definitely would watch more like this. That was pretty cool.
As always, I enjoyed spending a few minutes with you. 😊
Good to know, I'm glad ya enjoyed it man!
Great video as always Spencer, I would love to see some more like this!!!!! Hope ya catch a big one!!!
Spencer this is one of the best videos yet and I been following you awhile. That's pretty cool this type of food challenges. Anyways stay safe out there and stay hydrated. These are some epic weather we're having 107w/115 heat index right now. Aloha from Kansas
This is a video that goes in the favorites pile, even though pretty much all your videos are in that pile. Just glad to see Ell again and eating fish without knowing. I give the chef 10 stars 😂
⁰
Interesting! We fished a western Wisconsin River for white bass in early spring, when they started their spring spawning run. They made great eating at that time. We threw them back in summer. They were not good eating in the warmer months.
Great video.
I have to agree there. That logic seems to extend to most fish. Colder water makes them all better. Thanks for watching.
I love exactly what you did. Keep them coming! Out of those the catfish probably would’ve been my favorite. Thanks
As always the best way to spend time on Monday and Thursday great video as always .. glad to see Ella back in another vid and congrats 🎉🍾 on 150K you deserve it tremendously!!
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoy the videos so much. I'll let Ella know she's requested to be in some more videos.
I liked it a lot. I need to try it sometime. You should do a video on cleaning different species of fish. Thanks for sh
Watching you walk that bank with all the rebar sticking out gives me the heebee jeebees. Stay safe man!
Thanks for another entertaining video. Love the variety on your channel!
And yes - would like to see more of this type of video. Taste test was interesting. Would like to see how a wiper stacks up.
Yeah, I don't love walking that bank, but sometimes it's the only way to get 'em. I'll definitely try to work in some more videos like this one though!
Oklahoma gar recipe: nail the gar to a board, season well with salt and pepper, bake 'til it flakes easily with a fork, throw away the gar and eat the board.
I'd definitely try it. Good to see the Mrs as always. Thanks for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯
Yes do that again. But please cook your fish better.
Yes, I would like to see more vid’s like this. Also would like to see how you cleaned the Gar. Nice to see Ella on the vid.
Good deal, I'll do my best to make it happen again. Thanks a bunch!
Ella! Smart and cute as a button is always a winning combination. Love it when Ella is featured. Catch and cook blind taste test is a great format, I love it. I’m also happy to see the actual catch portion, your occasional use of lighter gear, and your externally internal monologue is a treasured staple of the vlog imho. Another gem of a video! Thanks. I hope you catch a giant.
You're too kind. I'm glad you enjoy all of that! Thank you very much!
Been missing Woody and Ella
Thanks for adding her today!!
Should show how you prepare the fish.
Nice to see Ella, and I liked the compare and contrast. Funny that you both had the same opinion. I catch gar in Missouri ALL the time (not by choice) and wonder how hard they are to clean. Seems like it would be tough to get the good meat out of a dinosaur.
A pair of tin snips make cutting them open pretty easy. The meat isn't too hard to cut out either. Glad you enjoyed the video!
If I'd of known what I know now when I lived off of bullshoals in MO. I'd had a lot mote meat on hand. Take the Sawzall behind the head to break through, then tin snips down the back, filet out the hard shell and then gently run down the bones all the way down. There is more but thats the big meat. It's great fried in nuggets.
Thank you for sharing this great educational experience. 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Interesting, Spencer! I have eaten all except the White bass, it is not wide spread here in Michigan. Channel Cats are, as well as Drum (at least in the Great Lakes). Gar are wide spread, but very rarely caught. I prefer Flathead over Channels as far as catfish go, and drum is very good smoked. Have you ever eaten the Asian Bighead or Silver carp? I would think either would be excellent canned up like we do salmon and spring White and Longnose Suckers.
I've only eaten drum once long ago. What I remember of it was that it was very good.
That was a lotta fun! ♥ I've eaten all four. I rank them: 1. catfish 2. gar 3. drum 4. white bass
Gar is very underrated
Agreed. I was introduced to it in south Louisiana back in the early 80s. In the form of garfish boulettes, a.k.a. gar balls. 🙂
@@atuuschaaw😊😊😊
I prefer white/yellow bass to catfish at least out of cool/clean water and trimmed right.
Man I didn't even know they were a fish a person would wanna clean until this yr.... I threw back a big one that was fatally hooked last summer when fishing with my friend. I just didn't know they were any good, I feel stupid and bad now for letting all that meat go to waste.
WE REALLY DON'T EAT DRUM (SHEEPHEAD) UP HERE BY BUFFALO NY IT RUBBERY TO ME AND NOT MUCH MEAT ON A DRUM. WE MOSTLY EAT WALLEYE, YELLOW PERCH AND PANFISH. WHITE PERCH NOT OFTEN WHITE OR SILVER BASS NO, CATFISH OCCASIONALLY. NICE VIDEO
If u could catch A Walter,Sauger,Crappie and a Bluegill i would like to see if Ella could figure out which one is a toothy critter and which fish were the panfish,it would be good eatin regardless.Congrats on the 150 k subs,very well Deserved Spencer.
Great video,as we've come to expect! So glad to see the rest of the family as well! I think we were all overdue for a dose of that! I really enjoy drum and gar. Didn't start eating them until a couple of years ago. I was especially suprised by the gar's flavor and I love its "alligatory"(noun to adjective) texture! River Certified is the top of my list and this is the top of the top! Please,sprinkle a few more like this in the mix. Especially with Ella and Woody! It's been too long since we've had the pleasure of their company! Thanks for your good works!
Glad you enjoyed that one James. I'll try and sweet talk Ella into a few more of them. Thanks for watching!
This video is so charming and so easy to love. Great characters. I am going to watch your channel instead of the news from now on. This is really important stuff.
Awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Love this channel miss the podcast 😢
Ryan still posts some podcasts on his channel. Tasler guide service.
Got me wanting some deep fried catfish nugs, some hush puppies too.
Nice video! I like fishing for gar with bobbers. It's kinda fun/funny to watch the bobber go down slowly and then start swimming off. Also, I'll echo another comment I saw: it'd be cool/helpful to see you prepare the gar for cooking.
Love the catch and cook videos, taste testing with Ella was a nice twist. A little side note...... I'm hooked on Frank's now and i blame you!!! 😂😂😂
I will take the blame haha. Glad ya enjoyed it!
I know! I’ve been doing franks and it is great
Can't wait to hit the river here in illinois to catch some gar & catfish
Ochlockonee River, Florida. You can catch monster long nose Gar all day till you Puke from exhaustion.
I've never fished the Ochlockonee, but the Appalachicola was a lot like that. Sure did love fishing that river.
The ones where you go home and cook are always my favorites, this one was even favoritier.
OoOOOOooooOoOO!!!!
You should do Channel Vs. Blue Vs. Flat
And see if she can figure out which is which...
Lid on = sitting bucket
Lid off = shiting bucket
You need to try Buffalo fish too. My favorite.
I'd just like to know how to get the hide off the gar!
Bluegill tastes great yall. My grandmother cleaned and cooked 100 bluegills. Cornmeal. She would fry them. The whole neighborhood got some it was great.
Used to have a cheap old tablesaw I got for $25 to clean gar with. Cut them in half long ways and used a knife to cut out the filet.
Cut crossways in 2" chunks and ring skin off with a short filet knife and then filet off the bone and wash well.
To every fisherman, his own. But since I have swapped to Circle hook, I don't kill as many on accident and my catch rate has not dropped as far as I can tell.
Hey Spencer I like the variety ya did there,and do a taste off with all the fish.because of where I live 3 of the 4 fish we don't have here,but that was a cool video nonetheless.thanks bud👍
I definitely want to do more of those in the future. Glad ya enjoyed it. Maybe if I can catch some salmon or steelhead down the road I'll make one that's a little more relatable.
Yes do more of this type
In future. Live in Texas now but grew up on farm in sw wisc fishing rivers. Never ate drum or gar when I caught them. Trust me I caught a lot of them below power dam doors at night fishing for walleyes. You should do a few videos on smoked fish also. I used to smoke carp and buffs and I thought they were very good. Take care and if ya ever get down to lake Conroe in Texas they have some big cats on this lake also.
I absolutely loved the video Spencer. I also see you hit 150k subscribers. That's a whale of a feat itself. Congratulations.
Thanks Darren! Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent idea Spencer, and another great video!
Down here in south Louisiana/Mississippi, we take Gar-fish, run it through our meat grinder, then mix it with green onions, chopped green pepper, bread crumbs, and egg, and seasonings, then form patties with it, and fry it, that's what we commonly referred to as "Gar Balls", and it is incredible!
Keep up the Great content, and I hope "You" catch a giant! ;-)
I've done that with suckers, just because they have so many bones. I bet gar tastes even better. Glad you enjoyed it!
Your content is great, brother. A tip I picked up from my in-laws regarding the white bass is to put a light coat of mustard on them before you fry them and it'll somehow make it less fishy. It works, give it a shot.
Never done that with white bass. Thanks for the tip man.
Yep, fun video. Thanks Spencer and Mrs. Spencer.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it when you have Ella involved as well. Great video man
I'll definitely let her know. She gets camera shy sometimes. Glad you enjoyed it!
Those gar are tough to clean, but do taste really good! Like a chicken tender type texture I would say opposed to fish.
Man you nailed that one. Thanks for watching!
THANKS SPENCER.
This was a great video. Liked the taste test challenge.
Great video, Spencer. More of these types would be cool.
I hunt more than I fish this was a great video my favorite is chicken of the tree but you have motivated me to fish a little more than I have in the past, thank you and keep making more video's please if you are able to
Big 👍🏻I've never had gar. But i tried drum, and it was nasty. I know others that like drum i also no alot of people who dont like it. Anyways just give me yellow perch. Thats my favourite. Ocean fish it's Orange Roughy.
We fished for a company out of Aurora, NC, she took the female white bass from Kentucky lake , spawned them with a male striper, then raised them in tanks and sold them to restaurants in New York and Quebec. They were eaten raw
It’s called a “Wiper”
@@TheIrishAmishit’s called a Hybrid Striped bass, but wiper is a common local name.
Sunshine,Palmetto, or Cherokee ?
But wiper are catalpa leaves.
I love the Pamlico. Washington, Nc is my hometown
that particular freshwater drum look so much like a saltwater croaker, its crazy.
Chicken of the river is right catfish are absolutely delicious
This one of my favorites ❤️
Dude just chilled me out, wish I was that relaxed
I feel bad for y’all guys that get poison ivy.. I can roll in it and might get one little spot 😂
Same, had it bad as a kid and it don't bother me now.
@@happybastard5538 I rubbed it on my entire body when I was 9 so I wouldn’t have to go to school …. It was really bad but I don’t get it anymore 😂
I personally think this is one of your best videos, all a matter of opinion, no need to hate certain fish
Good to know. I'm glad you enjoyed it man.
Do gar have Y bones? I’ve about caught 2 this year, but they are hard to hook. Great video.
Nope. Just eat the backstraps though. I don't touch the stomach meat because their eggs are poisonous.
The fish i dearly love is NOW ? TILAPIA ! Taste just like Red Snapper 👌👌 I Dearly love Tilapia so it save me money just buy it at the stores, NO FISHING LICENSE ! NO BOAT LICENSE! NO FUEL TO BUY, NO WEAR AND TEAR ON THINGS, AND ME > Plus NO WASTED TIME
It all depend on your taste, and how hungry you are to. I do love fish PERIOD. but there some i don't like to eat >1 is SHARK pretty meat, but i hate the taste of shark YUCK > Same with gator YUCK> But i will eat it 👉👉 if i'am hungry enough
how does one know the fish is awesome tasting if nobody eats it?? seems to me that people have to eat it to determine its tasty and the opinion of a couple of people isnt enuf to make it a fact
I caught a HUGE bullhead, 4 lbs. Out of a creek pool yesterday. Definitely wanted to slab him up, thought it was a flathead at first
Haha. Nobody likes white bass!
🤣🤣🤣
I've fished professionally and have used many lures over the decades, and so far... THE BEST has been a
"Super duper" by Luhr-Jensen, Silver 101 for OPEN water, and a
"Carolina rig" with 'motor oil' worm for STRUCTURES...ENJOY !!!!
Yeah I'd agree with you both on those picks, well, except channel cat, a lot of people like them and that's alright, I just never cared much about them and farm raised is worse tasting than the wild channel, in my book. No offense to any of you or anyone else out there, that's just my taste, you know what my favorite catfish is Spencer, I've told you enough, I think, anyhow yeah flathead is the best catfish to me, it rates right up there with bluegill, well sunfishes in general, Or rather I should say panfish in general, including largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, both are pretty good eating fish and it doesn't hurt to keep a few bass every now and then, that's not going to deplete the population, probably helps more than anything, right Spence? And my third favorite would have to be the perch family, walleye, sauger, saueye, and yellow perch. Anyways, I'm blabbing, my bad! Later y'all 🤙✌️
I blabber all the time, so I understand haha. I should eat some more largemouth, I just don't catch many. I ate them a lot when I mostly fished farm ponds growing up.
Apartment living so no boats or kayaks just bank anything bank fishing. FISH ON.
I like your video , keep 'em coming
Thanks, I'll do my best.
Really like ur go go..fish the rivers up in Madison co. Maybe entertain sometime...Happy Thanksgiving..
Spencer says, at 0:38 "If we're being honest, I'm not really all that picky."
I could have guessed that.
Since we're being honest, I'm not very picky either.
You do know what they say about guys that are picky, right ?
They're wankers.
I can't prove it. That's just what they say.
Thanks for the video Spencer.
Happy New Year !
I laughed when you said, "this is pretty fun fishing." I thought, "fishing?" You're "CATCHING!!"
Walleye clear favorite #1.
Yellow perch #2.
Crappie/bluegill #3
Channel cats good. Never tried gar but looks interesting.
White bass & drum ( we call them sheephead) IMHO wouldn't feed them to a dog.
New friend love cats hope I can catch some this summer with my granddaughter. PEACE
Pretty enjoyable episode. Thanks 😃
Enjoyed this. I live in MO and have always thought gar was too bony to be edible. Do you skin them like catfish? Will definitely try the next one I catch. You mentioned "red meat". I suppose any reddish meat and the sensory line should be trimed out before cooking. Right?
Had carp in Illinois. It was delicious. My MIL chunked it up and sliced nearly through about half an inch thick, or narrower
. She rolled it in cornmeal with a little flour stirred into it. Hthen she deep fried it. The bones cooked up and were not a problen. The meat was white and flaky. Very good.
Alot like Missouri River fishing. Gar is good eating fish. Doesn't freeze well. Sturgeon is similar texture. Skip Jack is awful. Carp,Drum,American Red Horse Suckers are all similar- best if filleted.
Another awesome video and the test with Ella was spot on. Having ate all those same fish as well I think I would agree with the assessment. We eat white bass we just call it the add a little more tarter sauce fish.
Haha my buddy calls them party fish because he catches them for fish fries. Glad you enjoyed it man!
That has got to be one of the most treacherous stretch of river bank anywhere. Throw a few more broken bottles, snakes and unexploded ordinance and you have a good place to film a horror movie. I would call it TETANUS BEACH. Glad you didn’t fall. Geez.
Full disclosure I find any fish inedible (all fish taste vile to me-unfortunately) but I have no problem catching, cleaning and cooking them. My dad and a lot of my older depression era neighbors ate all sorts of fish considered rough or trash fish. Drum was a big favorite, pretty much all of them ate gar, carp, suckers, buffalo even bowfin. If it swam,, they'd eat it if it was handled carefully. Bleed them, cut out the dark meat, keep them cool and they were glad to get them. A couple guys smoked some but most just fried them. There was a spot on pool 19 where if nothing else was biting we brought home stringer after stringer of drum. I'd clean them, save the otaliths for my collection, enough for dad and then start passing out bags of fillets. My sweet next door neighbor who baked me pies got pick of the fish. Nice cats, crappie etc. but she'd take whatever we had. Enjoyed providing for those folks. Every one of them has passed away and I sure miss them.
They eat alot of "Garfish" around here. "Here", being South Louisiana, so..... yeah.
AIOT alot!! 😂
I survive on white bass year round, just as good in summer as winter . Keep ice in the boat. I’ve tried 4 drum, not so good haha😂
Great video Spencer.
It was a refreshing change. Would be nice if you could tell the name of the River. Don't need to tell the exact place.
I Enjoyed the video.
Thanks 🤜🌟🤛🐬🐟🐠
I eat them time to time here in Wisconsin, I gotta say catfish, whitebass gar than fkin drum .. them things tasteless imo 😅 I gotta make you whitebass laab asian style
You want to catch GAR real big gar??
Wheeling WV under the i470 bridge WV banks of the Ohio river or Big Wheeling Creek about a mile past the mill acres bridge.
I have seen gar 4 to 6’ long caught in both places
So mix ceviche out of cooked white bass. Got it. I must have caught a million good size white bass growing up in Michigan and fishing in Lake St Clair. I never ate a catfish the whole time growing up there, and we used to throw drum and gar back. Trash fish we called them. We were all about walleye and perch. Until I visited Tennessee 20 years later after moving away from Michigan I had never eaten catfish. But after going to Nashville and eating catfish, and being blown away and how good they were, even though they were probably farm raised, that was all I wanted to eat for a period of time when I ate fish. Fun experiment with he Mrs. My wife is not a person that wants to eat any kind of fish. But she definitely enjoyed beer-battered walleye fillets. It's a pity we can't get them where we live these days. There's barely even water where we live now.
Looks Like alot of fun!, By the way... There are some great Left hand Crank Open face Reels; A few that is. I'm Right handed, but prefer LH Crank. Thanks for the Video
would be interested in how you clean the fish especially gar. You dont need to go slow and make it a tutorial or anything maybe just show quick footage. Say hi to woody, (and skip?) for me.
I always worry about getting demonetized. I'll definitely say hi to the pack for ya. Thanks for watching!
Spencer I can see gar....the back strap is excellant but the drum.....I have tried eating drum several different ways and I would eat 100 gar before I would eat a drum. I even tried the small ones and didn't have any luck. Not saying drum are bad but the ways I have cooked it which is frying and blackening just didn't turn out well. I always thought freshwater drum would be very similar to red drum or aka red fish but to me it is night and day. That's why I tried blackening freshwater drum and they definatley don't taste the same.
Very much enjoyed the video.Had a different feel to it.More real and unrehearsed perhaps.Keep it real is best I guess.Great work!.After watching this I would like to see a 'how to clean a gar'vid.
