You guys asked for it; EPF brought it: Golden Shiner Catch-and-Cook! The results were rather surprising...and if you are wondering: *yes, EPF does eat fish like a savage.*
You should do a freshwater skipjack herring catch and cook. There are millions of catch and cooks on TH-cam, but not a single one where someone tries skipjack.
I eat golden shinners too. They are so good and filling. What I like to do is just salt them and deep fry no batter. They become so crispy and easy to eat. Just like eating chips.
If you get a mess of sunfish clean off the scalls amd gut dehead clean put 2 gals water in a big pot ad white vinegar 1 gal let sit over night in the fridge in the morning fry eat them bones and all the vinegar solfens thw bones try it old florida resipy
When my dad was a boy he ran a hook line on the Suwannee River and take him back to the house to the Fish Market my grandma and grandpa used to run mule and buggy for 20 miles to the Suwannee River that was his life every morning before school
New to following you and I love the content I have seen so far. I grew up learning so many inaccurate stigma's of eating certain fish species as well as proper preparation. Over the last 10 years or so I started trying fish I was told were inedible when I was growing up. More times than not I am amazed at what I was missing out on. Cooking fish whole (even w/ head on for some of the larger fish I cook) has really opened my eyes to a better way of doing things. Less waste and the flavor is just amazing. A flavor profile you really can't get by eating only the fillet. If the water wasn't so polluted I would try even more "bad" fish. Unfortunately some that I want to try are on the "do not eat" list for the watersheds I fish because of PCB's. I think my best surprise so far was Fresh Water Drum (they call them Sheep-head in MI). I've always enjoyed catching them but never considered eating one. Turns out they are a fresh water cousin of Redfish (Red Drum) and they indeed have a similar flavor. For 20 years I believed they were not edible. Thank you for being brave and helping lead the way to change the hearts/minds of wasteful skeptics who think the only way to eat a fish is a boneless fillet.
Extreme Philly Fishing it’s based on the diet and the environment they are in. They love sandy bottoms or small rocky. Those ones will be silver/shiny. The ones living with gritty organic matter as substrate are the golden green ones with really dark tops.
Very nice video bro, I've had to eat bait fish... I lived off the Arkansas river my dad was a great fisherman, but you don't always come back with your target... And you eat your arrows
After your bluegill catch and cook (homage to your mum) I tried trout and sunfish cooked the same way. Really good and the only bones I couldn't eat were the back bones of the larger trout. Never would have thought to cook fish like this but it's really good.
Everyone has there own ways of doing things. with living on Lake Ontario with PBC's and at one time Mercury in the water, and Canandaigua lake one of the Finger lakes that had DDT in the water, we started to fillet all the fish we caught. this eliminated the belly fat of the fish where those toxins are. (except yellow belly bullheads, those we just skinned and gutted) after the fish were filleted we's soak them in a mild salt water bath over night. this would pull the gamey taste out but enhance the fish flavor and whiten the meat. Dad always used a cast iron skillet and Crisco lard, and he used a simple flour, salt and pepper for the coating. he'd cook the fillets till they were a nice golden brown. (talk about lip smackin good) Later on he got a basket type deep fryer and tried a beer batter. both were good, to each there own. Tight lines!
That was my first time using the mix, so I slightly overcooked it, Mace. I wanted to be 100% sure that the fish was all cooked. Hah. But the mix is actually pretty good! For a _"as seen on TV"_ product, it was banging.
I am going to start putting more "entertainment" vs "educational" stuff on the IG stories. And whatever wins, I will make a video on it. This is *TH-cam,* but sometimes I can't be selfish either. Gotta give the majority what they want. :)
Dang bro now iam hungry iams sick right now but when i get better iam going to go fishing and catch some bluegill (lol just saw the ending what a savage) poor shiners.
They are one of my favorite fish to eat and I have never heard anyone say they smell bad. Maybe it is just due to the water where you catch yours? Mine have always been bycatch from trout streams. They taste amazing and they don't get released when I catch them.
I caught some of these that were very fat, 8 to 10 inches, too big for the local bass to eat. I used a couple for bait but never thought about eating them. Certainly could in a pinch though, cleaned easy and made decent size filets.
I did the Trout Catch-and-Cook together with my mother: th-cam.com/video/NyiiF2i8Osk/w-d-xo.html I don't plan on doing another Trout one. At least not for a while.
Are golden shiners mostly vegeterian? I fished many times with meat an always see golden shiners inspect it an always turn around. When using sweet corn multiple shiners will rush at it an inhale it instantly.
Loved your closing comment! I never would have thought to try eating Shiner but I may after watching this. Dude! You need a new fry pan! Scraped Teflon just isn't good for you! Thanks for your work in making these. Really been enjoying your videos.
I've eaten golden shiners before along with common shiners once, however it was mixed in with bluegills and sunfish so I don't remember any distinct flavors
Dude I went to get a bait to put on the tip up and the bucket was empty? I needed those Golden Shiners for tip baits. I can say you earned Extreme with this one. Some friends of mine swear by deep fried Shad. They net the 3-5 inch ones and eat them , try that.
My grandfather taught me that especially women h catfish helps pull Out the heavy metals was taught that you have to drink milk when welding on galvanized metal in appearance school
Yo whats up leo. Ive been subscribed for a very long time now.. idk if i remmber correctly, but when i first started watching, i think u said something about some people jumping you. In all respect, and out of curiosity, would u mind sharing about it? Completely understandable if this isnt a subject youd like to touch upon.
ohh man lambari is good and riacho grande resivore name is billings but now its pretty bad looking with alot of trash but alot of trairas and some tilapias
Here in the USA, we don't have the Common Roach _(Rutilus rutilus)._ Instead, we have the Golden Shiner _(Notemigonus crysoleucas)._ But they are similar to one another!
"We're better than cats bro" very funny. Everything taste great when you're hungry next time eat when you're not hungry maybe you'll taste the sewage 😊.
That's the inside joke for the following, Sam! Cuz subs here know that I was actually born and raised in the Brazil; though, my family is originally from China. 😉
Do you think the fish are ok to eat , if they smell pretty bad? I remember you saying the barracuda smell like that , I’ve seen a few videos of people eating barracuda and no one even mention the smell of crap .... I like the video , next time have like one fish all natural with just salt.. or no salt , it’s up to you , just to really taste what the fish really taste like . Because I’m sure that mix added great flavor to the fish Went out today , nothing in my local stream, it’s just way too cold . “All year round”: I will say the fall fish
You guys asked for it; EPF brought it: Golden Shiner Catch-and-Cook! The results were rather surprising...and if you are wondering: *yes, EPF does eat fish like a savage.*
@Burnsy fishing and outdoors Hey, man...it was actually pretty damn good. Way to debunk the myth, I guess.
Bro your amazing
That was awesome! Made me hungry for crispy fish!
Extreme Philly Fishing loved the video but if you don't mind me asking what Creek did you fish at
You should do a freshwater skipjack herring catch and cook. There are millions of catch and cooks on TH-cam, but not a single one where someone tries skipjack.
If you put them in a pool in your back yard, you could have called this video "Eating my pet shiners". 😉
Hey...don't go stealing my ideas from my livestream. 😂😂😂
Do a cnc too man!
@@extremephillyfishing lmao
Now he's going to go to the bait shop to get dinner
Too expensive. Netting or trapping them is much cheaper.
Damn son. Now time for oyster toadfish!!
I actually hear that they are great eating. Just not a lot of meat!
German town Wisconsin near Milwaukee‼️I was there salmon fishing this season👏🏽saw a good majority of salmons but couldn’t catch em‼️😭😂💯
How do you not have more subscribers? .... It's crazy
I eat golden shinners too. They are so good and filling. What I like to do is just salt them and deep fry no batter. They become so crispy and easy to eat. Just like eating chips.
You should do a creek chub catch and cook!
I heard that Chubs actually have a lot of bones in them. I wouldn't mind trying it one day, but I am not a big fan of bony fish.
@@extremephillyfishing I was just curious because there's tons of them where i live.
What about those weird sucker fish with those mouths facing down?
Too many bones my guy
@@BensChannel-rn7ge lol Don't know about eating a sucker fish lol
Go to 9:10 if you want to see the best part of this video
If you get a mess of sunfish clean off the scalls amd gut dehead clean put 2 gals water in a big pot ad white vinegar 1 gal let sit over night in the fridge in the morning fry eat them bones and all the vinegar solfens thw bones try it old florida resipy
That's a nice recipe! I will definitely keep it in mind. I would like to try doing that one day.
When my dad was a boy he ran a hook line on the Suwannee River and take him back to the house to the Fish Market my grandma and grandpa used to run mule and buggy for 20 miles to the Suwannee River that was his life every morning before school
so glad to see you are still doing what you love! keep it up love watching the channel grow.
You are truly the funniest TH-cam fisherman! Love your videos, never stop
" little bit terrified" LOL great vid!!
Imagine cooking that giant shiner you caught one time
You are amazing
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I like the new cooking addition. Keep them coming.

Professional fish eaters! That was cool.
Golden shiners around me are much more golden
That's something that I have noticed in the past. Different shades of gold depending on where they live! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Ben! I appreciate all the love and support!
Thank you
Love seeing how u much on them! Made me hungry and I just finished eating. Thanks for showing the people food sources.
Thank you Leo now I know what to do with my pike bait when I don't catch any Pike.
See, i told you they taste better than they smell. 😁
You were right. I was astonished myself! I did not expect them to be that good.
Very nice video bro, I've had to eat bait fish... I lived off the Arkansas river my dad was a great fisherman, but you don't always come back with your target... And you eat your arrows
Damn son, I wouldn't have eaten those. Earning that thumbs up
thanks for the video and tasting that fish for me !
I love your cpr thing
Catch, photo, release is an amazing moto
love your videos man. Always entertaining and informative.
Hi man your amazing keep up the good work
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.
That second shiner is perfect big bass candy. I caught a 9.5 and a 9 pound bass on shiners that size
Lolol love the tasting
Great catch and cook you never know til you try take easy my friend
After your bluegill catch and cook (homage to your mum) I tried trout and sunfish cooked the same way. Really good and the only bones I couldn't eat were the back bones of the larger trout. Never would have thought to cook fish like this but it's really good.
That looks so good
New drinking game....every time Leo catches a Bluegill take a shot
Brent Sellers you trying to destroy your liver? Lol
Great catch and cook. Looks delicious! Option #3 play with the guts 😂😂😂
Love the ending hahaha.....keep up the good work brutha!
Hah. Thanks, Ralph. I appreciate it!
Damn that just made me hungry lol... great video man, love your channel!
Need some more of that

Damn son ! Bass love them. Why can’t we? If you was starving you could make it happen!
That must be why they fish love them for bait. Because the taste great. Now I know what to do when I have bait leftover at the end of the day.
How was the smell once it was cooked ?
I like how that seasoning mix darkened up! I'm going to have to try it. Probably would be great with catfish. Great video Leo! 👍
That was my first time using the mix, so I slightly overcooked it, Mace. I wanted to be 100% sure that the fish was all cooked. Hah. But the mix is actually pretty good! For a _"as seen on TV"_ product, it was banging.
Is great to see u doing this type of videos , please bring your quest of the 40 pound carp back!!!!
Thanks for taking the risk. Glad it was good. Don"t know if I could eat most of the bones and find like that though. =)
I got a question, what does the number by the fish species mean?
Sam Fulwider that is how many fish he has caught this year.
I wonder if these small fish would make good sides at seafood restaurants
Leo doing the catch and cook challenge. As long as you don't start doing the Wal-Mart challenges.
I am going to start putting more "entertainment" vs "educational" stuff on the IG stories. And whatever wins, I will make a video on it. This is *TH-cam,* but sometimes I can't be selfish either. Gotta give the majority what they want. :)
I totally understand. We all want to see you be successful.
That is not to say that the educational content will stop. *THAT* will never change.
Not only do fish love it, but EPF does too 😂
good lord...
Did you put the milk in the fridge?
LOLOL "Bro, we eat fish better than cats.", LOL!
Dang bro now iam hungry iams sick right now but when i get better iam going to go fishing and catch some bluegill (lol just saw the ending what a savage) poor shiners.
Oh yeah, dudeeee. I devoured them like a true savage. Haha. Good luck with the Bluegill!

Good video, maybe do some catch and cook trout. Show different ways to cook different species
I did the Trout Catch-and-Cook together with my mother: th-cam.com/video/NyiiF2i8Osk/w-d-xo.html
I don't plan on doing another Trout one. At least not for a while.
Lol I’ve never seen anyone eat the fins before 😂 I was like wtf is Leo doing!!!!
I love seeing this video type from you sooo CATCH AND COOK BOWFIN
nice leo i bet the bigger ones taste even better
This video reminds me of when I used to go on the rocks and catch snappers Man there a good good job Leo🤙🏼🤙🏼
That sounds awesome, man. Though, Snappers are delicious. LOL.
Are golden shiners mostly vegeterian? I fished many times with meat an always see golden shiners inspect it an always turn around. When using sweet corn multiple shiners will rush at it an inhale it instantly.
Probably algae and insects.
@@visualkeirockstar ok thanks. I tried some more an they like veggies an bread. An people I fish with catch them on wax worms.

@@extremephillyfishing today to fish here only in the paid lakes other places are all poluted and have almost no fish due to predatory fishing
