You don’t know me but I really get to feeling bad for you when you talk about losing Debra and being alone. My late grandmother died a few years ago at 100 years old, obviously outliving my grandfather who lived a good 94 years himself. My grandmother was a Godly woman and lifelong Christian, who spent much of her time each day praying and doing a daily and nightly Bible reading and devotion. You’d ask her about being lonely and she would adamantly deny it. She would always say that she was so close to the Lord that she could feel His presence so strongly, it was as if He was sitting right there in the room with her. Man I wish I was that close to the Good Lord.
Hey there buddy Steve. I know the feeling of being in the house alone. It's so quiet and lonely. But I have you to watch you and listen to, and that brightens my day. GOD BLESS YOU TODAY AND ALWAYS, my friend..❤😊🙏🏽
Been watching for several years now and its cool to see how your video editing has evolved and the new gear and setups you've acquired all while you still keep the same quality fishing. It's relaxing just to sit back and watch the fish come over the rail.
Keep on doing what you're doing old fisherman you bring life to me and others I know. My condolences to you Ms Debra was a joy and she could catch some fish🙏🙏🙏🙏☝☝☝🐟🐟🐟💪💪💪💪😜😜😜😜😜
Loss of loved one is a hard thing to take, deal with, and try to get over. I'm 60 years old, the Lord has taken my whole family. Father, Mother, all three Sisters, and a Daughter. My Best Friend always says she doesn't know how I deal with like I do. And I tell her the same thing over and over. Because I "know", that their in a better place now, wrapped in the Lord's arms. With no more pain or suffering, so Old Fisherman. You find a little peach in knowing, Ms.Debra, is with the Lord, and all is well 🪽🪽🪽🪽🙏🏾🙏🏾.
@@theoldfisherman2040 No Sir, I know that, we all deal with it differently, and in our own time. No way was I trying to minimize your loss, pain, "or" loneliness. You seem to be one heck of a man, and you touch sooooo many of us. So you just keep punching, and catching those Crappies. And we will keep you in our prayers first, and more importantly. And also, watching and learning, from your teachings.
Enjoyed it my friend. That was some really nice crappie and you made me hungry watching you fry up them fish. As always enjoy your videos and keep loving life!
Love your videos Steve and especially your catch and cook. May God continue to bless you my friend. I live in south Georgia but have kin folk in South Carolina.
This is good content I’m glad I found this channel. The reason those crappy won’t come over there and get that mellow unless it’s real real close to them is because the water is so cold they have to preserve their energy they won’t burn no energy for a meal they have to gain more energy than they’re gonna burn to go after it so it’s got to be right in front of their nose right on top of them
Hey Steve, I watch all your videos still, but I don’t comment too often because I’m watching you on TV now and I don’t know how to comment yet, but I’m still with you my friend and we’re catching nice fish. God Bless You and Keep Loving Life.
That fish looks so good! I like the way you cook the whole fish! My kids laugh at me when I do the same thing but that’s the way we grew up eating fish and honestly it taste better to me with the bone plus the crispy tail fins are great too.
Way to go Ole boy! Catch, cook, clean, and eat... Be strong and look up to the Lord, all of your friends in your life, and all of us watching your show for support.
Old fisherman figured those crappie out and got on some slabs. I love crappie fried whole or filet with skin on or off. That sure looked good with the sweet pickles. That back bone is some good eating for sure. Love the tail, better than a potato chip for sure.
I love watching you catch crappie and perch. My 12 year son want to fish with you. We fish every weekend. I lay bricks threw the week. Lamar brick and block const. Milledgeville GA. By the way when fishing in cold weather, spray WD40 on the eyes of rod. It works. Keep on living life.
Thank you for sharing your fishing 🎣 trip first time to see your videos and I enjoyed so much. So sorry about your loss keep living my friend she’s watching you from above 🙏🙏🙏. You are welcome to come to Texas it’s never that cold here sometimes 3-4 days that is it. Enjoy your time have a wonderful blessed week my fisherman brother Godbless you
Hey Steve. Enjoyed the video. Those was some huge crappie. Next time fry you some of those pickles to you might like it. We do. God bless you and yours
Thanks for the video, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here, I know what you mean about living by yourself after having your bride around for years. Keep on fishing that’s exactly what she would want you to do, praying 🙏 for you ole buddy and tight lines 👍
You overdo for catching them good crappies ain’t ya? Looks more fun than picking your nose, haha! Wear them Craps out!! 🤘🤟🏻🤙🏻✌🏻, course Ol Logan made it possible with his Logan jig, good luck charm I reckon! Wooo Logan 🤘🤘
Logan is a kinda natural shad color anyway. Go Logan. Logan’s Hair jigs Inc. LOL Hey need to show another video with him and Doodle. Now that’s funny. LiL wild thang.
@@theoldfisherman2040 I bet I’m watching your vid now those big ones are deep . we have been catching them in 25 feet . Logan is something else . Take care and God bless.
@@theoldfisherman2040 love the 99. I figured that was the spot you’d say. I go to the recreational side a lot. I’m going to explore that plantation and old church on that cove. What happened to your lady? You had a beautiful lady with you fishing last year 🤔😊 that fish looks perfect that you fried up like your mama did..
Thanx Bro Steve , I was waiting for this cooking video , sure looks yummy , You need to find me a house for sale next to ya , I like hot fish too , just like your sister 😂
Nice whopping you put on those fish! The wife and I are planning to be in Chapin next week. Coming from Oklahoma to buy a boat imagine that, ha! You got room for a couple more to get on some fish with you?
Man those were some fat crappies. Looked like you almost forgot about the cold for a bit there. I hate when my hands get cold fishing. Thanks for filming your fish fry inside your home. Felt like I was about to sit down with dinner with you. Hoped you thanked Logan for his contribution. Think I'm going to try me some of the self rising cornmeal.
Old Fisherman, I have to ask why you keep those slabs that are 2 lbs.? Don't you want to throw them back to keep the genes going? I would say you could get by without keeping those large sows.
Because I like them big ones to eat, there is a 1 mile of lake that can't be fished at the plant end of the lake, don't think that keeping some to eat is going to hurt, besides the smaller ones have eggs also.

Getting to the end my friend, way to much work for the reward.
You need Logan in the boat to see you field testing the jig! I used to take my Datschund Oliver. He loved it.
If I put Logan in the boat one time he would want to go every day, just like riding on the golf cart.

Got that one from Academy Sports.

What brand of net is that? A cold beer would have been good with that great food👍
Bought it from Academy Sports.
Where do you put the hook in the minnow? In the head middle or tail
Through the bottom lip up through the top lip.
A ziploc bag is so much easier, especially for fillets (with less to clean up). Those are some 'Slabs' and they sure do look good sir!
Everybody has got there own way right or wrong for one reason or another.
@@theoldfisherman2040 You're right Sir.
Im ready for a mess of crappie.wont be long
Good luck my friend.
You overdo for catching them good crappies ain’t ya? Looks more fun than picking your nose, haha! Wear them Craps out!! 🤘🤟🏻🤙🏻✌🏻, course Ol Logan made it possible with his Logan jig, good luck charm I reckon! Wooo Logan 🤘🤘

Good with a sweet raw onion too
Never tried that, thanks for sharing my friend.

Good luck my friend.
I hate fishing with minnows in freezing weather Those fish are pretty good sized bass. What lake you on or state? Fish taste better out of cold water.
