- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- In the first episode, Steve purchases Das Boat out of a backyard in central Texas then takes it to a local fabricator and spends a day trying to make sure it’ll float. He and Texas fishing icon, JT Van Zandt chase redfish down on the coast, taking Das Boat into skinny saltwater it’s definitely never seen before. They end the day in JT’s kitchen cooking up a spread of blackened redfish tacos and sipping a little tequila. Along the way they discuss tribalism, the benefits of artificial lures vs. dead bait, the serviceability of redfish flesh, and the closest thing to a chicken thigh you can find on a fish.

Thanks for turning in to the first episode of Das Boat. To celebrate, the MeatEater crew is here to answer any questions you have about our new show! Ask away...
Why "Das Boat"? Is it a reference to the German film? :) And I love you, Steven!!! Appreciate your efforts to educate everyone on hunting and conservation !
Just watched the first episode. It was awesome! Makes me fondly remember the years spent in the river in a small Jon Boat. Love all the content keep it up. You guys are the tits!
@@hairyunderpantsgnome Thanks so much for tuning in--and awesome to hear you enjoyed it. Make sure to check in for episode 2 next Thursday.
MeatEater already set the reminder!
As a fisherman, how do I get on the Das Boat? Maybe fate decides... Futhermore - when's the live podcast coming east of the Mississippi?
Keep putting shows on TH-cam please sir
Amen
Thanks Cincy life for the humble request on behalf of us all .
I think that the potential for profitability with a regularly scheduled youtube show to supplement classic MeatEater tv will yield a good arguments to bring more video content to the platform.
Agreed!!! This one is fantastic.
@@rinchenangchok9751 indeed speaks for all of us
Imagine selling a POS John boat and rinella shows up to buy it 😂😂
I'd tell him I'll trade it for 1/10th of whatever is in his freezer lol
Wonder if the guy even knew who Steve was???
I'd be inclined to drop the price the second I recognized him... and then a bit more when he introduced himself
trevor perrydore hahaha
And then he puts an outboard on it that probably costs more than just buying a good used boat lol
for those who don't know, JT's father was one of the greatest songwriters of all time. incredible musician
Is he Townes’ son ??
@@jakeneumanandthejaybirds yes. strong resemblance too
He sounds exactly like his dad. Exactly!
@@jwilli726wow, now that I’m aware of this it’s so obvious. He even speaks like his father.
Steve Rinella - the Bourdain of the outdoors.
Less pretentious and more down home.
@@amosmoses5421 More alive too.
Better way better
Joe Ackels Zero Point Zero produces MeatEater & No Reservations/Parts unknown
I was thinking same thing!!!
“Sweet man, let’s go try to sink this thing” 😂👌
0:38 THAT'S MY GRANDFATHER! he came up to see us a couple months ago to tell us about this show hahaha.
Grandpa tony looks like tell story or ten
Your grandpa is one crazy old man I mean that in a good way he was fun to work with I was sad when he retired.
The right balance of sportsmanship, sustainable harvest, and weirdness. i love it. more of this, please!
100 % right on!😃😃
Finally a hunting show that isn't all about shooting trophies on private land! Best hunting show on air Steve and growing crew ;)! Keep up the good work y'all.
Yup totally agree, Steve Rinella will shoot a 2pointer and still be super stoked!!!! That's why his shows the best!!!
Steven Rinella has been doing this sort of hunting and fishing his whole life. You owe it to yourself to read his books. I hate to read, but I get so lost in his writings. He writes exactly the way he speaks.
That’s why Steve and Randy Newberg are my favourite American hunting personalities
Not sure why anyone likes watching the shows where they sit in an established, permanent blind set up over a feeder or feed lot and thinks that's the life of the average hunter. Even if I had 10k to throw away on trophy I wouldn't choose to get one that way - its not hunting.
@@scottclarke7950 i completely agree..its not hunting
This is great!! This shows all generations we do not need a fancy, sparkly bass boat to enjoy the water & catch fish. I own & guide fishing trips out of a 1995 14 ft aluminum Lowe 1405 fishing boat. You should hear the comments from some of the bass boat & recreational boat guys. Like Steve mentioned in this episode, sometimes I feel ashamed because of my old aluminum boat. Then my clients make me feel wonderful when catching fish out this little boat and say things like: "I need to get a boat like this", "this is quite the little fishing boat", & "this boat catches fish". Get out & enjoy the outdoors any way you can, no matter what you have. Go Fish!
Fishing with Townes Van Zandt's son. Pretty cool way to kick off the new show!
I think I just got a new bucket list item, fishing with JT and I’m in Australia!To live is to fly.....
I was just going to type : Is this guy kin to Townes? Looks just like the legend.
This is really Townes' son?? That's fucking awesome, I was thinking about that the whole time
I just got back from fishing with JT, what an awesome experience!
When I saw this episode and noticed the name Van Zandt, I right away noticed his resemblance to Townes Van Zandt. Wow!!
About 10 months ago, I picked up a 14 foot Valco aluminum with a 25hp tiller steer on it. Hadn't ran for years. Working with by son to replace all the wood, getting it running, wiring, and outfitting it for fishing was a great experience, only exceeded by the many trips we have taken it fishing. This series captures those good times perfectly, thank you!
JT has got to be the chillest fella on the south Texas waters. Great episode!
Listened to Townes today and ran across this gem my brother told me to watch a year ago. Sometimes the TH-cam algorithm isn't all that bad.
Awesome to see JT is out doing his own thing and enjoying life. Looks like a great way to spend every day.
Brand new Honda 40 on a boat that may or may not float... because MeatEater!! This series is awesome already!!
Are these really $6,500? Wow
muaar oh yeah. The 250 on my Triton is easily 24k$. They don’t come cheap.
Right? I bought a 2003 16ft tracker with a 50hp 4 stroke for $5200 and it’s not a clapped out pile
The way the meateater crew just thinks out of the box. This is an amazing idea. Between the show, the podcast, cookbooks and so on THANK YOU for what you all do for outdoorsmen and the whole outdoor community.
Damn straight!
So awesome. Love the combination of fishing, deep discussion, and cooking. Thank you and keep it up!
We are not worthy of such content! I cannot get enough of this brand’s attitude, footage, message, and uniqueness. Thank you for everything you do to cast a positive light to the outdoor lifestyle we love to live.
Great Work MeatEater Crew. The concept is grand and the viewing, light hearted, relaxed and insightful. Keep em coming.
MeatEater content is always so satisfying. Never a disappointing show.
when is meateater season 8 coming out? i'll watch this too, but can't wait for 8.
Promise we are working on it--and will announce when we have details.
MeatEater I can’t wait till season 8 I love that your show isn’t all about shooting big trophy’s and feels like an actual hunting show
AWESOME! What a great concept for a show. Cant wait to see more.
Already looking forward to the next episode!!!
I can not simply express how much of an influence that Meat Eater has made on my life. Thank you for your love, passion and seemingly never ending knowledge of the outdoors.
Hell yeah I have a 25 year old 16 foot Lund Rebel...she's just getting broken in.
Great idea for a fishing show with excellent production.
My dad is a guide like this fella off Hilton Head, SC. Listening to this guide give the same exact kind of instructions as my dad gave me chills. Thanks for another awesome vid!
Used to have me a old 16 ft alumacraft with 30 johnson on it, running wide open with the aluminum shutter under you feet lovin life with buddies. I think this shit right here, is freaking awesome. This is why meateater is # one on the outdoor shows. 100% real life!!
Great show! Really enjoyed it, I wish it was a couple hours long. JT is one of the coolest guys on the planet. Cannot wait for Alvin's episode (another of the coolest guys on the planet).
As always, superb job! I look forward to watching this endeavor unfold!
Is that really Townes Van Zandt's son? That makes this episode that much better. Glad to see an exclusively fishing collaboration from the MeatEater crew. I love the "Das Boat" concept. Meateater puts out the best hunting shows hands down. I wouldn't expect anything less from them in this new fishing series. Keep 'em coming!
Such a great opener! You guys are the best franchise around. OG show, to podcast, to this new idea. Hot damn!
Fell in love with MeatEater about a year ago and honestly can't get enough! Been waiting for new season when you came out with Das Boat. Yet another show that is AMAZING! The emotion I get when watching anything Steve Rinella puts out is something that can't be explained, I TRULY feel joy watching. From reminding me of my childhood hunting and fishing with my dad and uncles, to the background music that somehow seamlessly fits with each scene to enhance what you are watching, make an enjoyable half hour you wish would not stop. Please keep up the great work and thanks for what you have done to the outdoor TV show world, nothing like it out there!
Steve, here in GA we call that hook/weight/leader rig a "knocker rig". It can be used when fishing heavy structure for sheepshead and black drum. The sliding weight directly against the hook can be used to help dislodge a hook stuck in barnacles on pilings, or in oysters, etc....
#meateater for life!
so much respect all these guy have for every aspect of hunting and fishing. acknowledge the history and the honor of every item used then and now.
The MeatEater crew does it again! Great concept with great characters makes for an amazing show.
Holy shit! Only 2 minutes in and I'm so stoked!
Thank you for showing people it doesnt take a butt load of money. It takes no ego, a few saved up bucks, and some know how! 🎣
Everything about this is beautiful. Everything.
I love the way this boat becomes a platform for an experience and a thoughtful exploration of why we hunt and how the natural world shapes us. Nicely done! Best quote is on "bringing something back to life that still has life to give." Awesome work! Beautifully filmed, as is the Meateater tradition! Cheers!
While I’ve enjoyed Meatearer, angling is more up my alley. This is awesome. You and your production crew keep up the good work!
Ive had the privilege of spending time with both these guys, salt of the earth all around good men. JT is a very smart man, like his dad, and his knowledge of the ecosystem on the Gulf coast is unmatched. Steve is a hunting, fishing, public land beast. He is the future of conservation and the ultimate outdoorsman
The Meat Eater crew needs to find their way up to Northern Alberta to Lesser Slave Lake and do some walleye fishing, either open water or though the ice. I liked the show, keep up the good work. 😃
recon3113 or to Manitoba to fish with Arron wiebe from uncut angling
Love seeing you guys on TH-cam and any new ones on the Netflix. Doesn't matter what your filming, if you guys think it's worth filming, I think it's worth watching. You guys are still my favorite Outdoorsman show over all the others because you don't do the classic format of "We're going hunting today, oh look an animal. Ok, we shot the animal, have a nice day." Thank you for the best show I have found in 40 years of looking.
That was awesome. I really dig this concept
This is an unreal idea for a fishing show. Steve I’m so glad I learned about you on rogans podcast years ago. You’ve changed my life for the better. Got me into fishing and hunting again! Your a great ambassador
cool concept guys. thanks for the break from work for a few!
Hell yes! I was at work listening to the Meat Eater podcast and thinking “I would love it if those guys would do a fishing show”. Thank you very much.
You know what there’s loads of? Fishing shows. You know what there’s not enough of? Hunting shows
THAT SAID, this is a dope fishing show ;) Good work Steve and the gang
Yeah, but a Meateater fishing show isn't your typical "fishing show". It's "bullshitting with your buddies" kind of honest. Not the super edited "I catch a lunker on every cast" kind of fishing show that flood the airways now....
Awesome show. So pumped you started a fishing department and this is the perfect way to start. Excited for more episodes
Kinda want to go out and buy a crappy boat to have adventures on now. Thanks a lot MeatEater!
I immediately started scanning Craigslist for an old Bass Tracker. LOL!
Great crossover series. As someone who is just as passionate about catching and eating fish as I am hunting big game, this makes perfect sense. The fact that I own a 30+ year old aluminum fishing boat just adds to the appeal. Thanks Steven
I want you to take a few fans that aren't as well versed in fishing or hunting and show them the way. Sign me up for episode #1!
I’m already pretty good when it comes to fishing but I’d love to do the hunting thing. I’d still love to go fishing with him too though.
"Seemed right to do it with a boat like this"....love it!
I don't really like eating fish but I love fishing and this was so cool.
Steve does it again. You take an idea and turn it into something everyone has an interest in seeing. I haven’t seen a single show yet if yours that I don’t watch the whole way thru, which says a lot for me because I normally watch a few minutes and not into it, but your attitude and outlook on life and nature run hand in hand with mine
Anthony Bourdain, Steve Rinella both class acts in their own fields, rare and wonderful.
Awesome show! Can’t wait for more. You need to bring das boat to Georgia and come limb lining with us. I have no doubt you won’t regret it.
Come to Savannah, I'll buy you a cold beer!
"Unlimited bad ideas"
Love it
Love this show idea and premise. Found it hilarious how you weren't sure the boat would even float after putting a beand new motor on the back. Thanks for producing this type of show. Im not able to get out and fish and hunt much as I would like but these shows really reminds me of my childhood, the good ol days when I was able to go fishing or hunting with my dad and granddad and other family seems like almost every weekend. Thank you! Love all your shows and podcasts
Keep public land public
cam 231 here I was keeping my pubics private
@@christopherwasilewski4898 😂😂😂😂 fuck
cam 231 jokes aside, yes, we need more public land
Fuckin' aye Skippy
I was up in the air on this issue, but Rinella makes a strong case from a management standpoint. "We are wealthy," he said, and I think he's right.
Two gents having a blast with great conversation. Doesn’t get any better.
Can't wait!!!!!
Outstanding. Thanks for the fun watch, Steve and crew.
Steve, JT, and Alvin!?😱 Add Randy Newberg and there won’t be any personality left for the outdoors 😂
Growing up in SE Michigan on Lake Erie that type of boat is still the standard I measure others by. A hardworking little aluminum boat is hands down the most useful and versatile craft you can own. Hunting ducks, chasing fish, and evening ride on the lake, this boat does it all. Really loved the first episode, looking forward to more.
That's a fact! I love the act of hunting more than the act of killing. It's the whole process combined that gives a sportsman the joy of the chase. Also it doesn't matter what POS boat you use to fish just as long as your fishing. 9 times out of 10 the guy on the 30 year old clunker will catch more than that guy on the yacht.
This is what life is all about . Steven you hold the true sprit of what living is meant to be, hunting & fishing 2 things that bind us closer to mother nature. please keep up these fantastic adventures.
Much respect from down under :)
Very nice show! Very inspiring for my son and me. But why can’t we buy your gear from Canada?
This connects all the radness of fishing as a kid with the philosophy and sense of the profound that we should all hope to grow into. Fantastic. Keep pushin, Steven.
As a fellow shitty boat owner I can say that this is great relatable content.
Steve, thank you for taking me home for 22 minutes and 28 seconds. I am connected to that place like no other. Keep up the good work on all of your projects.
White flakey fish and cheap mexican beer 👌
I love how you guys brought a new life and meaning to the old beast then pass it down for others to enjoy
Cheap boats financed by expensive boot ads. Into it.
Funk yeah! Awesome job Meateater. Keep posting TH-cam videos because I'm too miserly to pay for Netflix. Love and appreciate all you do for our natural resources and conservation. Thank you.
broke my heart pulling that old Johnson off! put a 2 smoke back on it!
Depending on the model Johnson's are freaking work horses that can last for decades, yes would of been nice to see them give it a tune up. Have they never heard of a small backup on a dingie? to compensate for trouble?.
@@CoalCoalJames Don't need a backup for a honda motor
Why? Pollute more, run less. Those hondas are bulletproof. You want reliability. I certainly wouldn’t put a 2 stroke on my bass boat.
great new show concept. the addition of fixing up the boat as you go along really sets it apart.
never clicked off googan squad so fast.
Awesome new program guys. Stoked for more. Definitely hoping to see more Canadian locations in future episodes of MeatEater. I doubt I need remind you that you guys have a ton of Canuck fans.
Cheers boys
Steve “how would you rate this” rinella
The cut from Steve on the wheel over to VZ on the motor.....actually directing the boat had me rollin 😂😂
10:14 Luv it! damn coke head..lol
Love the discussion around fair use, focus on the resource and tribal acceptance. As outdoor enthusiasts we need more of this so we can help those who don't participate understand this is not about killing.
Thanks for bringing back the nostalgia of riding around in a metal John boat on a Nebraska sandpit every summer of my childhood. So many memories!
Should start betting on episode length and number of ads? What's the over/under?
The show is free to us, they have to pay for it some how. You can always pay TH-cam for no adds.
Idk because I have YT Premium lol
Steve, please more shows like this. Simply amazing. The local people and the stories. The knowledge is just spectacular.
Please don't start doing the Premiere thing, it's the most annoying part of TH-cam.
I thought it was a video.
I agree with you, everyone is doing it for no reason
Totally agree
Helpful to know you are not a fan of the premiere feature--we like the idea of it because it gives us a chance to chat live with you guys when you watch it.
@@MeatEaterTV I'm with y'all on that.
Best line . . . "It is funny to not have seen it float" . . . that choked up JT for sure. You could almost see the death calculations starting :-)
Keeping fish is not an integral part of fishing. The guide doesn’t keep many fish because it affects the fishing. Keeping redfish like that is ok but keeping bass is another thing. People target bass for the fight and the fun of catching them. Every fish kept is one less fish in the ecosystem which makes it harder for other people to catch fish. By keeping fish you ARE affecting other people’s chances and making less enjoyable.
This hits so close to home in more ways than you can imagine. My dad has this same boat except in a 12” version. It was the first boat I ever sat in. I caught so many fish out of it as a kid in south Florida. We now live in Austin and my dad still has this boat, except it gets a lot less use now that I have my own push pole skiff but we still take it out occasionally. I can’t wait to see the rest of series, especially the Texas and Florida trips.
Great show, but I would have kept the Johnson on her!
Glad you did this show. I love it. Most relaxing thing other than sail boating. A lot of people don't understand how to Communicate with others. When you fish with someone, you become good friends or know to separate ways.
So, I dont get much time I'm from of a television or computer, I've had a bit of time this Christmas weekend , I was glad I came across this, as an angler who fishs out of either a kayak, or my 1970 Sears 12' jonboat I liked watching these guys with a second hand boat getting out, it was refreshing as most fishing shows are guys with super expensive boats and more tackle than my little goat could even float!!! Good job
Cool way to bring back memories and what most of find as the most economical way to access fishing bigger water. Thanks Steve and Janis.
A great start to this series! Thank you MeatEater Crew and all the coming guests!
Just watched all of the Das Boat episodes. I was back in the boat with my old man for a couple of hours tonight....at least in my memory. Very well done, and showed true fishing.
From reds in northwest Florida to now bows in Colorado, Ive been a hardcore fisherman my whole life! Having said that, you and your crew are the sole inspiration for my new endeavor as a big and small game hunter! And as a Le cordon bleu trained certified executive chef, your cookbook KICKS ASS!! Keep on inspiring fellas!! I guess that wasn't a question!! P.S........Das Boat appears to be a great show! Cant wait for more!!
Rewatching all of these during quarrantine. Please do season 2 after this is over
This is awesome! I can't wait for the next episode! Fish on!
This is the only ad on youtube I actually watched. Now I'm here watching your vids.
This is flippin awesome... TH-cam release is definitely the move. Made my day. Thanks guys...
Awesome episode. You guys are killing it. Loved JT's perspective, and I'm so stoked you all decided to put this show together.
