I remember when I was young fishing on my family's lake. I would go out early in the evening and catch a mess of catfish, take them behind the pump house and clean them. The next evening my grandmother would fry them and we would have catfish and grits for supper! :-) Oh the happy days!
Dog gone it. I wish I was with you, brother. I did that all my life coming up now. I'm stuck right now in a city in Colorado, but I'll be going up to Wyoming and peace and quiet in the middle of nowhere. The 73-year-old man loves. What God made.
Lovin your work Chief, the mixture of hunting, shooting and fishing as well as your archeological interests and flea market side quests…… I’d love that lifestyle but the UK isn’t quite the same on gun laws and space to hunt in…….. I think you American cousins have a good lifestyle for the most part…….I’m not jealous at all😂😂😂😂
Good deal Chief! Once upon a time I had an uncle that could cook up an unbelievably delicious pot of turtle soup. I wish I had paid better attention then. But it's too late now.
Nice vid Chief. Years ago I would go catfishing at night .Ikept the real small ones. Skinned them and deep fried them in a french fryer. Delicious. Also to attract them we used to poke holes in a tuna can and sink it. Peace
All fish are best smoked. Then you can fry the or whatever you want. Remember the Avon tomahawk you got at the flea market? There was also a arrow head to I got one for my graduation in 1978. Well I ran across another one. No box but it's nice it'd be nice to have the set. If I knew where to send it to you I would love to. I'll throw in a nice silver chain to. I'll cover postage . I live Scioto Co. Ohio and have been hunting artifacts here and in N. Kentucky since 1965 . Let me know and it'll be headed your way.
Glad you let the snapper go.BBQ turtle ain't bad though.Where is our fishin rag?They are great for grabing your catch and dirty hands.Man,you've had a year to remember.Go Chief!
Ugly Stick is the way to go on them big cats. I use a 9ft and an 8ft with Shimano 6000 reals on both. Prepared for the monsters. Thems the best size to eat right there. What! You haven't had any Snapping Turtle? As much as you got dragged over every body of water and deep woods in 4 county's by your father. You don't know what your missing. It's a delicacy around here. My uncles worked for the fish hatcherys. We would get them by the truck load. I live in a town that was called the Gold Fish Capitol of the World at one time. Had 5 fish hatcheries. When they drain the fish ponds to harvest the fish from them. We had prods with hooks on them. There was circles in the mud on the bottom of the pond that look like craters. With a smaller circle around it somewhere. That's where the head was. We'll most of the time. We would hook that prod up under their shell and flip them up and toss them to some one with a wash tub to take them to the truck. Dad had a oval horse trough in the back of the truck. I've seen it to capacity more than a few times. Spend many weekends cleaning turtles, having some beers and having a neighborhood turtle fry. People still bring one now and then. Got a couple stories about flatlanders that thought it was the best chicken they ever ate. Thanks for sharing. Good luck out there.
Using Pop"s Zebco-33..... Tradition built on memory and legacy have no boundaries..... The Zebco 333s have caught more fish than Chicken of The Sea...... Do you Buttermilk soak the catfish ahead of time?? Buttermilk and egg base, rolled in cornmeal?? Lard or Crisco for frying?? Maybe even Granny's cast iron skillet.....that has seen a world of squirrels and rabbit, and a river of fish.......
Damn Smok'em! That snapper would have made some fine chewing! That head and tail would've made a fine walking stick too! I gotta teach you how to handle dem dare snappers! Them little channels be good chewing too! Don't be frying them fish in no teflon skillet! That damn teflon aint good for your innards! Get you a good cast iron skillet to fry that fish in! Anyway, I'm gonna go cry now after watching all that turtle sausage swim away.
He was a snappin! 💥. I know he would've made a great walking stick for sure! Maybe next time I'll give ya a holler if I catch a biggin! I do need a cast iron, but I would also need a few pointers on how to keep and clean them !
