Catching and Grill Frying Bluegill (the ridiculously easy way)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- In one of my first videos I demonstrated an easy way to cook your catch. I called it grill-frying because it was a combination of both grilling and frying. It’s one of my favorites. Let’s try to catch some bluegill and then grill fry them. See the recipe and music credits below:

Recipe for Grill Fried Bluegill
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound of bluegill or other white fleshed fish fillets (crappie tend to fall apart)
1 large egg
1 can of evaporated milk
1 cup of fish breading (Eg. Zatarains, Shore Lunch, Louisiana, etc.)
1 stick (4 ounces) butter
Directions:
In a container, whisk an egg, then add evaporated milk and whisk thoroughly.
Put fish fillets in the container and submerge them in the milk.
Keep the container in refrigerator.
Add two layers of foil to grill. Make sure to allow enough air for the grill to stay lit. Lightly butter or spray the foil with cooking spray (I skipped this step but probably shouldn't have).
Heat the grill to about 375° F (190° C).
Lay the fillets down on foil and generously brush them with butter.
Close lid and cook for 4 minutes.
Open lid, flip the fillets, and generously butter the other sides.
Close lid and allow fish to cook for 4 more minutes, no longer.

Juanelo, you have something very special on this channel! I'm 20 years old, and your videos are some of the most awesome, entertaining and heartfelt ones that I have come across. Thank you for providing the community with such great and appealing videos!!
Hi Shaynoo! There's no way I can thank you enough for the kind comment my friend! I only hope I can keep good videos coming. Thanks so much!
Whenever I’m sick, sad or bored I come watch these videos!
Hi Cj! Aww, man, that is really nice of you to stop by to leave the good words. You made my day! Thank you!
Can’t believe, bream fishing with my Daddy ( more than 50 years ago) how many memories this brings back
Hi David! I'm beyond honored that I could bring back fond memories of fishing with your daddy. Although I'm retired from TH-cam, I have a couple of hundred videos here on bluegill fishing. Thanks a million for watching and taking the time to leave the kind words!
This is the most wholesome fishing video I have ever seen, and I'm living for it
Hi Viva! Aww, you're too kind! I hope you someday catch some fish and give the recipe a try. Thanks a million for watching and especially thanks for the good words!
Been married to my love for 25 years and I love to fish . I got tears at the end ! Rock on ! America was founded on people like us !
Hi Scott! You're too kind! Congratulations on your long beautiful, relationship! In real life, Ms. Lulu and I have been married for almost 49 years! Thanks so much for watching and even more for the kind comment my friend! All the best to you and yours!
It's sad that the till death do us part got unwritten some how in the vows . Old but not dead !
You speak the (sad) truth! Thanks again!
Gills are so much fun to fish for. They’re like little piranhas without teeth. Voracious feeders and put up a great fight on light tackle. Doesn’t hurt that they’re delicious too ! Great video !
Hi USNVA! Gills are a blast to catch. They fight like crazy for their small size, and you're right, they're delicious. Thanks a million for stopping by, and thanks even more for the good words. Especially, thank you for your service!
Flyfishing for bluegill is more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Well well Juanelo you are still catching and grilling and iam still watching. it never gets old.
Hi Victor! Aww, man, I appreciate you! Thanks a million for hanging around with me for so long. Ms. Lulu and I wish you all the best!
great video my friend, enjoyed the fishing and they looked delicious. very happy the jigs are helping put some food on the table for you.
Mike, weekend after weekend your jigs are consistently killing them! They are amazing! This was a lot of fun. The grill-fry recipe is always super easy, buttery and delicious. Thanks again for the jigs and for the kind comments my friend!
@bigmike I’d like to get a jig too.
Me as well
Just wanted to say how much l love the show. I'm disabled and don't get to fish a lot. I get to enjoy your show. I miss you and your wife hope the best for you guys.
Hi Joe! Aww man, your comment really touches my heart. I'm so glad I could help you continue to enjoy the sport of fishing, if only vicariously. Ms. Lulu and I miss you all too! I must admit though that we appreciate our retirement. These videos were tougher to make than they may seem. Thanks a million for thinking of us. Thanks especially for taking the time to leave the kind words. We wish you and yours all the best, and a very happy Thanksgiving!
I was watching your videos tonight and I wanted to say hope you and your wife are doing good. You both are a true treasure. Joe witt.
Hi Joe! Oh man, you're still watching my vids after all this time! Ms. Lulu and I are doing great, thanks so much! We're greatly enjoying our retirement. Thanks a million for stopping over, and thank you especially for your kind thoughts! We wish you and yours all the best!
Your are missed friend. Thank you for all the laughs. Hoping you do another video some day soon!
Hi A O! I don't think I'll be doing any new videos. These shows were very hard to make, and lately I'm just too old and lazy. Thanks a million for stopping over and for the really kind words! Ms. Lulu and I wish you all the best!
Hi Juanelo! I was just going through my old TH-cam account and just rediscovered you. It's so awesome to see you and Ms. Lulu are still doing well and retired. I used to watch your videos with my mom and siblings back when I was 10-13. You always reminded me of my grandpa, he says "thanks a million" a lot also! God bless you and your family this year!
Hi Dean! Aww, man, I'm honored that you grew up watching me. And, I'm beyond honored that I remind you of your grandpa. Please tell Mom, Grandpa, and the rest of the family that I said hi. I wish you and them all the best. Thanks so much for stopping over to visit, and thanks a million 😁 for the kind words!
To this day I love to come back and watch these vids they make me so happy
Hi again TSA! I hope you've been doing well. It's great to see you again! I'm glad these old vids can still spread some joy. It makes my day to know that! Thanks a million for stopping by. Thanks especially for taking the time to leave the kind words!
John I expected a cooking video, but got a very good schooling(no pun intended) in fishing. Now onto the recipe I've never seen the grill/frying method. After watching how you cooked up these larger than usual bluegill I think your methodology makes all the sense in the world, and the outcome of the recipe was an absolute success!
Hi Glen!! The fishing was easier and more fun this time out. I've made this recipe a 100 times before on the old outdoor electric grill, but that device broke. So the Weber seems to get hotter. The only thing I might change would be to dab a little butter right on the foil before placing the fillets down on it. Regardless, the fish came out buttery and delicious! Clean up was a breeze too! Ball up the foil and toss it away! Thanks so much for watching! Thanks especially for your kind critique! I really appreciate it my friend!
Looked good to me!
Just came across some of your videos, they remind me of the VHS tapes that you could pick up from Cabela's or Bass pro or any of the local hunting/fishing shops back in the 90's when I was a kid. No BS, just a fella doing his thing with a great attitude. Very nostalgic!!
Hi acesoftrul3z! Man, your comment made my day! I remember buying those VHS tapes from Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops too. I still have a couple of tapes in the cabinet under the TV. I remember watching Bill Dance and Jerry McGinnis religiously as well. Those old shows got into my old blood. I only wish I could fish like those guys. Thanks a million for stopping by. Thanks even more for taking the time to leave the good words. I wish you all the best!
Great video you keep fishing and eating fish and you will keep living
Hi Ric! You're right! Not many foods are healthier than fresh grilled fish. Thanks for stopping by and leaving the good words!
Your face every time you "throw it in the trees" is priceless
Hi Abdul! I hate when the lure goes in the trees!! Does it show? LOL! Thank you kindly for watching my shows. Thanks even more for the really nice comment my friend!
The most wholesome man on TH-cam
Hi Daniel! Aww, man, you're too kind! Thanks a million for the visit and especially for the kind words my friend!
Monster bluegills, John!!! And I could almost taste the results....
Gonna try commenting again to see if my reply button shows up yet.
Cheers to you and Lulu!
Those were beautiful gills, while you caught them and after you cooked them. Looks like an awesome recipe. Simply Brilliant! I love the appropriate Romance plural of asparagus that you used. I enjoyed it Juanelo.
Hi Lew! It's great to see you again! This recipe never fails me, and it's one of Ms. Lulu's favorites. I saw the recipe on the the internet in the 90s. That page has long since disappeared, but I'll keep grilling fish like this. I could be wrong in pluralizing of asparagus, but it sounds right to me! Thank you so much for watching my shows and for the kind words my friend!
Don't get much fresher fish than that eh! Looked delicious, as does most of your culinary creations...i do get a kick out of how you worry about your carb intake, then douse the fillets with a quarter pound of butter, lol. Another great episode John!
Hi Jeff! Good to see you again! It's hard to believe that a recipe this easy could be so delicious but it is! I think science has now disproved the old hypothesis that saturated fat from butter is harmful. Yes, I do load on the butter. Been doing it for 15 years now. I lost 28 pounds and have kept it off. Here's a NY Times article reflecting current research: www.nytimes.com/2014/09/02/health/low-carb-vs-low-fat-diet.html Thank you very much for watching and for writing the great comment my friend! All the best to you!
seriously i just found this video out because im going camping this next week and needed a recipe for pan fish. just in case. you are an amazing creator and i love your attitude and how you do videos. i subbed just because of that, youtube may not care about it creators but man. you are a lost gem . i hope you get 1 million subs within the next month lol
Hi jadarr1! Oh man, you're too kind! I'm beyond honored by your admiration. Good luck on your camping trip. Stay warm and dry. I retired from TH-cam a few years ago, so I don't think I'll be getting a million subs. But I'm very satisfied and very glad to have entertained those subscribers that I do have. Thanks a million for stopping over. Thanks especially for taking the time to write such good words. I wish you all the best!
this guy having the time of his life thats what fishing is all about props to you sir
Hi Deadpool! I'm hoping everyone will be inspired to try fishing so that they can enjoy the time of their lives too! Thanks a million for leaving the nice comment my friend!
My husband said he had a video he wanted me to watch and what a treat. You are fabulous and your cooking looks mouth watering. We will be making this one and more. Keep em coming and thank you sooooo much.
Hi Alaskajax! You are too kind! I'm really a very amateur cook! But many years ago, when the internet was born, I found this recipe! It works! I got lucky!! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your very nice words my friend!
New subscriber here! I love to see a guy who not only likes to catch fish, but likes to eat them too! Thank you for the fine videos.
Hi Monty! Thanks for subscribing and for watching my videos! Thanks especially for the good words my friend!!
I love your energy.
Hi Hunter! This was some years ago. I may have lost a bit of that energy. Thanks a million for watching and especially for the kind words!
Who wants to live in an institution? hahaha! that got me laughing so hard. Love you guys so much!
Hi guys!!! Ms. Lulu is very witty these days. I think she is watching too many old Groucho Marx movies! LOL! Thanks so much for watching and leaving the good words my friend! We appreciate them so much!
I laughed out loud long and hard too!
This is the first of your videos I've ever seen, and you got my sub.
You're funny and you seem very genuine, and I just love the way you present yourself and your content.
I hope you keep up the great work!
Hi PumpkinKiing! Aww, man, you're too kind! Sadly, I retired from making TH-cam videos a year ago. But I have several years of weekly videos that you might want to watch. Or, you could use them as sleep aids like I do! 😊 Thanks a million for tuning in and for your very kind words my friend!
Now this is what I call a good video
Hi SE7ENqx! How nice of you! I retired from making videos a few years ago, but I left a few hundred goofy shows behind. Thanks so much for the good words!
I love his cheer and positive attitude! We need more of that. I enjoyed the whole video.
Hi Christy and Veda! You're too kind! Thanks a million for watching our shows and for the good words my friends!
LOL I love Lulu!! She is so upfront! Great fish catching my friend!! HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Brenda!! Seems like Lulu's remarks always knock me down. But you know very well that I'll get up again next week only to suffer another punch in the gut! LOL!! It's fun! Thank you so much for watching our goofy videos my dear friend! All the best to you!! Big hugs!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure why but this was really fun to watch
Hi Mike! I sure do appreciate your watching! Thanks so much!
just caught some gills today will definitely try grill frying this batch.thanks for the video.
Jake, good going!! You will love this easy recipe! You might want to spray the foil with a little cooking spray, just to be safe. Clean up is a breeze too. Just ball up the foil and toss it away! Thanks so much for the kind comment!
Hi juanelo I really love all of your fishing videos, I am a young kid and you really have inspired me to fish for big bluegills, I have learned a lot from your fishing videos. A jig I recommend for bluegill fishing is the slab jiggie, you should look them up at slabjiggies.com. Thank you!
Dominik Stefanov I am a kid as well and I only fish stocked ponds so any thing is great
Because of Ramon's comment, I just realized I missed your comment Dominik! Sorry! I'll look up the Slabjiggie right now! Thanks for watching my shows my friend! Thanks for the very kind comment!
I just want to first of all say thank you for putting out such a humorous and delightful show, I enjoy watching every week even if I don't always comment. And am happy that you put out such easy recipes that even I can understand! Thanks a million you are the best!
Hi Shawn!! It's great comments like yours, from good people like you, that motivate and encourage me to try my best to make good videos. Thanks a million my friend!
farm pond fishing and catching bream brings out the kid in all of us,, and they are so very fun to catch and great to eat
Hi Glenn! I taught myself how to catch fish on a farm pond! I never get tired of it! Bluegill are such a delicious fish, and they put up a great fight. Many people don't know what they're missing! I'm glad you get it! Thanks so much for watching my videos and for the great comment my friend!
truly enjoyed this video it reminded me of fishing with my grandpa
Hi PirateFrog333! I'm honored that I could bring back good memories of you fishing with your grandpa. Thanks for watching. Thanks even more for taking the time to leave the kind words!
Jaunelo, I love watching your videos because I get to watch you catch all those beautiful fish, then take them from the lake to the table. That grill frying technique looks like a winner!
Greg, although I'm not much of a cook, I sure enjoy trying. For me, cooking videos are a bit easier to make. But 2/3 of my subscribers (mostly young folk) are interested only in fishing. So I figured, why not combine them! I get more views now! The buttery, grill fried bluegill turned out great on my new grill! Next time I'll use cooking spray on the foil though. Thanks a million for tuning in and writing the great comment my friend! All the best to you!
Bluegill are one of my favorite fresh water fish. Yummy! I will try your recipe
Hi Lawrence! Be generous with the butter, but not too high on the heat, and the fish will turn out great! Thanks a million for watching and commenting!
living my dream friend! nothing better than catching a big mess of bluegill!!
Hi Lucas! Isn't bluegill fishing great fun? You know about it already! Thank you so much for the visit and especially for the kind words my friend!
The fish are so fresh you can't get any better than that!
Hi again, SKyNeT! The fish really do taste better when just caught, and this grill-fry method is so easy! Thank you so m much for stopping by and leaving the nice comment my friend!
John, these turned out absolutely fantastic! Those were some HOG bluegill for sure!!!
Larry, I'm so fortunate that the bluegill in Lake Ketchabigwon have always run BIG! On the grill with a ton of butter, they taste great too! Thanks so much for watching my antics and leaving such a nice comment my friend!
Nice job on the bluegill fishing keep it up bluegill is my most favorite species of fish mainly because I can catch them in a short amount of time
Hi Donnie! That's why I love them too! Because they are easy to catch, they make great subjects for fishing videos! Thanks so much for watching and for the good words my friend!
What a nice, sweet n talentedly funny grandpa, he really killed it entertaining us, and smacking some top bluegill! : )
Hi Ivan! Aww you're too kind! Thanks loads for watching my videos and thank you even more for the good words my friend!
Hi Juanelo you have taught me lots from your videos. Keep up the good work my friend.
Hi BB! I'm honored if anyone can learn something from me! Thanks so much for watching my videos, and for the good words my friend!

Hi Cheryl!! These buttery grill-fried fish always turn out delicious! It's so easy too! Clean up is a breeze. Just ball up the foil and throw it away. Thanks a million for watching! Thank you for the very nice comment my friend!!

Hi Mike! You are too kind! I'm really just an amateur in both pursuits! LOL! This recipe is a winner though! I hope you try it! Thank you for watching my shows, and thanks especially for taking the time to leave the very nice comment my friend!
Great technique John! Very clever and effective! MMMmmmm asparagi haha! Great video as usual!
Hi Jason!! It's hard to imagine an easier recipe that could turn out so tasty! Just throw some fish on foil and slap on lots of butter! What is the plural for asparagus anyway? LOL! Thanks so much for the nice comment my friend!
asparagi of course! haha!
Hey buddy. Hope your doing well. You know you tube is still putting up your videos and you still have almost 50 thousand subscribers. I sure wish you would do a video once in a while. Man I miss you and your channel.👍🏻💛🙏
Hi Bill! How've you been? Miss Lulu and I are doing great. We miss you all too! I don't know why TH-cam is still recommending this old video, but it's really nice to see you again. I don't think I'll be doing any new videos. For me, these fishing and cooking shows were extremely hard to make, and these days I'm just too lazy. Thanks a million for stopping over and for the really kind words!
Wow excellent you are so lucky in that lake!!and professional cooking
Ho Adan! Some days I can't catch even one fish! Of course, I don't make a video on those days! LOL! Thanks so much for watching and for the very nice comment my friend!
I go fishing a lot because it sets my mind at ease
Hi Dustin! There is probably no better reason to go fishing! Thanks much for watching my videos!

That looked great and very easy clean up. I am with Lulu on this one, I don't want live in a institution either.
Jason
Hi Jason!! I was just saying to another friend how easy this is to clean up! Just ball up the foil and toss it away! Ms. Lulu is too witty for me! I think she has been watching too many old Groucho Marx movies! :-) Thanks so much for watching! Thanks for the great comment my friend!
thanks for the lesson sir! Gonna head to the lake now and try my luck..
Hi jrod! Try this easy recipe! You'll love it! Good luck fishing! Thank you very much for watching and for writing the great comment my friend!

You are adorable! It was very nice to watch your video, thank you for the good time I had!
Hi! You are too kind! Thanks a million for watching my video! Thanks even more for taking the time to leave the kind comment my friend!
Adorable ummmmmm?
Amazing! As if I needed more reasons to love your channel after all I said to you yesterday about your happy videos about simple fishing and great cooking...today my eyes popped out when I saw your grill! lol. We have the same exact one! I know...they sell them by the tens of thousands, I am sure...but it's still a neat thing.
As always - I just can't get enough of your channel and your love of bluegills. While I enjoy many species from large to small....my favorite days...favorite memories by far....always involve those wonderful scrappy little Bluegills!
I wish you many years of enjoyment - and hope we can all continue to be entertained so well by you for many years too!
Hi Solocanoe! How do you like your Weber grill? I took this video a year and a half ago, and I still think of it as being brand new. I'm still learning to use it! Aren't bluegill a thrill to catch?! Plus, they bite so readily, you need wait only minutes, not hours! You are too kind! I'll try my best to keep the videos coming! Thanks so much for watching my videos, and thanks especially for the good words my friend!
Hi John -
I do like my grill. I am coming off a much larger model with many burners, side burner, rotisserie thingie...I never used much of that stuff but my wife went along that day it was bought...and she was attracted to all the bells and whistles. We lost that grill to storm damage (and it was pretty rusted in the burners too).
I still miss the old charcoal days of my plain ole Weber grill...but I admit it's easier and faster to use the gas grills...I suppose I'm not going back, haha! The littler Weber two burner is perfect for us now that we are empty nesters....I'm not cooking for a slew of our kids friends or anything like that. I have pounded a stake in the ground next to the concrete it sits on...and attached a chain to it - hopefully that will keep it tethered better in the next wind storm. (we live on the edge of Tornado Alley at the AR/OK border)
Going fishing this weekend I hope - assuming the temps will stay up. Planning on using the simple 1/32 oz maribu jig set up and maybe have another pole with a Mepps Spin Fly rigged up...and THEN....I think Saturday or Sunday evening...I will be trying your Grill Frying method - it sure looks so good! :)
Have a good day
-john n.
Hi again, John! (I'm John also! LOL!) We're empty nesters too of course so our gas Weber is just perfect, and I don't miss messing with the charcoal too much. 😉 I think the weather out your way should be great for fishing this weekend, nice and warm, but maybe a bit windy. I think you'll like the grill-fry method! I found it on line when the internet was new, and the site and even mention of the method seem to have disappeared. I whole-hearted approve of your strategy for catching fish this weekend! Light and ultra light fishing, at least to me, is a blast! Best of luck with both your fishing and cooking my friend!
I think this video is going into my favorites, that's a great looking recipe and will be easy to clean up!
Hi Arctic Gator! This recipe is one of my all time favs! It's so easy, and so buttery good! We always enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching and even more for the kind comment my friend!
Looks great ! Love the fishing and the ending hugs with Miss Lulu is priceless 😊
Hi Ange!! It's always so nice to see you! Of course I love fishing, but I live for the hugs at the end! LOL!! Miss Lulu is a treasure! Thanks so much for the very kind comment my friend!
Just discovered your videos, gotta say I'm enjoying them. I just recently started eating my catch, used to just catch and release but your very informative and easy to watch. Keep em coming good sir!
Hi F1recode! I'm really glad you found your way over here! Why not eat at least some of what you catch! I only keep my catch for making TH-cam videos, but even so, that's plenty of fish! Thanks so much for watching my videos my friend! Thanks even more for the kind comment!
All your videos just brighten my day, thank you.
Hi RDC!! You're very nice! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
What a hoot. I copied a screen shot of the coated filets and sent it to a friend who I am trying to shame into goin fishing with me. He loves fishin and fish and his SWMBO does not. I told him there are other fish in the sea and these are them. Thank you for the fun.
Hi Ron! This is a weird way to bread and grill fish, yet it works great! I hope I could help getting your buddy to go fishing with you. There aren't many foods more delicious than grill-fried bluegill! He's got to make some time to sneak away and enjoy them. Life is too short! Hahaha your reply to him is spot on! It’s good of you to stop by! I especially appreciate the good words my friend!
you made me smile and a great way to make gills
Hi Dave! I made these videos not so much to demonstrate fishing or cooking, but to generate a smile. Your comment makes my day! Thanks so much!
Perfect dish! I sure wish we had that size of bluegill here in west Texas. The biggest I've seen have been about 5 inches. Keep the great videos coming!!
Hi Oscar!! I'll bet there are some ponds near you in West Texas that have even bigger bluegill than those in my lake. I've seen them in a magazine called Pond Boss which is published in Texas. Coppernose bluegill are native to Florida and Georgia, but they have been stocked extensively in Texas ponds and they are enormous! Thanks so much for watching and for leaving the great comment my friend! Good luck fishing!
Hello John. This looks so good. Awesome video as always.
Hi Jonny!! This buttery grill fried fish was really yummo! :-) Thanks so much for stopping over to leave the kind message amigo! ¡Hasta pronto!
I always loved your videos and looked for them but now I found it
Hi BB! TH-cam just pointed out to me that I missed your comment from this video, many months ago. So sorry! Thanks a million for stopping over to watch the video and for your very nice comment my friend!
Wow all beautiful bluegills, nice job Juanelo! Keep up the good videos!
Hi Shaim!! Yes! The bluegills were running really big today! Thanks so much for tuning in and writing the nice comment my friend!
Of course! It Takes no time out of my day to be nice!
i hope you have grandkids, they would be soooo lucky your the best!
Hi Mike! Hahaha!! I don't know if they see it like that, but I'm so honored that you think of me as you do! Check out my latest video and you'll see one of the girls. You're too kind! Thank you so much for watching my videos! Thanks especially for the good words my friend!
Hi John, your bluegill looks delicious I bet the butter put it over the top. Great video and fishing.
Hi Rick! This grill-fried fish is about as easy as it gets, and it's always delicious. Clean up is easy too. Just ball up the foil and toss it away! Thanks so much for stopping over to watch and leave the kind comment my friend!

I just found your channel this evening and after watching this video I wish I had found it sooner. My preference for catching panfish is on a fly fishing rig. Thanks for the great video and I'm definitely subscribing.
Hi Bryce! I've got a fly rod and I agree it's great fun to catch panfish on it. However I'm terrible at it... all the various lines, tapers, leaders, knots, tippets... it's too complicated for me! LOL!! That's why it mostly stays in the garage! You should make a video on fly fishing and show us how its done! LOL! Thanks loads for watching my videos! Thank you doubly for the really nice comment my friend!
Big Mike's jig is working great for you. I love grilled blue gill, sometimes simpler is better. I don't recall Ms. Cheeks ever missing a blue gill dinner, lol.
Hi Steve!! Big Mike's jigs are catching big gills like there is no tomorrow! The mealworms don't hurt either of course. These buttery grill-fried gills are always a favorite! Ms. Cheeks loves bluegill! As long as I serve them she'll be back! LOL! Thanks so much for watching and leaving the nice words my friend!
Been catching some those size at a nearby pond here in SE Ohio. Used nightcrawlers on a size 6 hook, 8lb Big Game on a 33-Plat spincast and medium Ugly Stik. Your video here looks like something the wife and son will enjoy; saved this for watching again.
And yeah, have to watch the carbs also to stave off an eventual type2. It's hereditary, so it's in the mail. Rock on and God bless.
Hi nocrust! Your photo is hilarious! 😁 I got a good laugh from it. Sounds like you know better than I do how to reel in those huge bluegill. I made a lot of bluegill fishing videos until I retired a few years ago. Those little critters sure produce tasty fillets. Good to see that you're carb conscious! I've been straying off the diet too much lately, and it shows in my expanding waistline. Thanks a million for stopping over and especially for leaving the good words! I wish you and yours all the best!
I was looking ate a lot of bluegill videos they was all boring but this one is awesome I love your videos like this comment or his video if your with me
Hi John! Aw! you're too kind! Thank you for joining me on the lake and in the kitchen my friend! Thanks especially for the nice comment!
Great video I really enjoy how you add personality to the video keep it up and great job
Hi DW&R! I'm a natural ham, and a bit of a nut! Thanks so much for your visit! Thank you for your good words my friend!
Great fishing day! Those were some beauties! I like your grill/fry method of cooking John! I bet you wasn't expecting that reply about marriage was you? LOL ;)
Hi Rus!! The bluegill do run large at Lake Ketchabigwon! They make nice fillets. I've been grill/frying fish like this for years and they never fail to turn out yummo! I thought I finally had Lulu thinking of marriage.. but, you're right, she threw me another curve! She keeps breaking my heart. Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! All the best to you!
Another great fishing day. A simple but delicious way to cook fish. Anything cooked on a barbecue is great.
oh oh, you have to be careful on how you say things to Miss Lulu. lol
Lyne, fish done this way always turn out great! Just bread them, throw them on the foil, and slap on lots of butter! Yummy! Miss Lulu knocked me down with her wit, but you know better than anyone, I'll get up again only to be punched in the gut next week! LOL! Such fun! Thanks so much for the kind words my friend!
some of the best videos I have seen in a long time makes me smile

Oh my pleasure my friend. I have just been watching your TH-cam videos non stop for the past few hours and I'm hooked! If you are ever in New Hampshire definitely let me know since I have a little pond that I catch jumbo yellow perch in and would love to do a catch and cook video with you! Anyways thanks so much for replying I really appreciate it. Have a
Great time and keep those awesome videos coming
Hi again, Chris! New Hampshire is a beautiful state with gorgeous lakes full of the tastiest fish on earth, yellow perch! You are very lucky to have a pond with them! I might someday call on you. We would have a blast catching and cooking! Thanks again for your kindness and generosity my friend!
Wow, its really nice wacthing your vlog, the way you cook seems healthy too. I have to watch all your previous vlog. Glad that i saw it, i enjoy fishing and camping during summer time, it gets cold during winter here in Idaho.
Hi Agnes! You're so nice! I hope you don't get too cold up there in Idaho! It get's a bit cold here too in northern Ohio! Maybe we can do some ice fishing this winter. I never know if the ice will be thick enough. Thank you for watching my shows, and thanks especially for the nice comment my friend!
Juanelo1946 hello, it gets cold though for me but not enough for ice fishing during winter, l came from a warm country. I wish i will be given a chance to try ice fishing like Wisconsin, their river or lake really good on ice fishing crappie on winter as l have watched it. By the way, can i fish to your lake when i come to Ohio? I have niece in Toledo and how far from you. Enjoy your vid and i will try some of your cooking when i catch crappie next time. No crappie this summer for me. Thanks for your time.
Agnes, I get a dozen requests a week to come to fish. I wish I could say yes to all of you but I can't. So, I have to decline everyone. Our place would soon become a public park instead of our private little family weekend getaway. I sure hope you understand. Thank you so much my dear friend! I hope you get a chance to ice fish in Wisconsin! That's a great state for ice fishing!
You catch fish soooo fast John! It must be so much fun! And nice easy grilled fish! I am so jealous with that grill you have! Have a great day John!
Hi Julia!! Today's editing software makes me look better at fishing than I am! LOL! I can catch a fish every few seconds! But, yes it was fun! The grill-fried fish were easy yet delicious! I wish you were a neighbor so we could learn how to use the new grill together! LOL! Thanks so much for the very kind comment my friend!
Juanelo1946 I would stop by every day to use it then! lol!
Thanks for the bluegill recipe Im used to frying large mouth bass when I fish. I also work st fish/sea food restaurant. Awesome videos, love your channel.
Hi RiseAbove! The recipe almost seems backwards, or upside down, as you apply the butter to the upside! But, it works!! Wow, you're a cook at a seafood restaurant? Send me your recipes! LOL! Thanks so much for watching my videos! Thanks even more for the good words my friend!
