Ice Fishing for Monster Tiger & Brook Trout. How to Poach/Fillet a Trout.

What are we going to do today? What kind of fish are we going to catch? I don't know. Trout. Let's see what kind of trout we catch. Tiger Trout! Okay now, let it go down to the ice. Now if you see your line start moving. If it just jiggles that means the fish is getting nibbling at it. But if it starts moving then tighten it up. I'm going to set up the fire box and hopefully we'll catch a fish and we'll cook it up. Again? I think I'm going to put about 4 cups of wood pellets in here. Maybe 3 cups of wood pellets. I'm going to use some quick stove fuel disk to get it started. We had one last Tuesday by this time. We'll melt some snow and then we'll have some water. It's a mighty long pole for ice fishing you got there. You've gotten some bites though, huh Em? Yeah. Here we are at No Tellem Lake ice fishing. There's great big monster fish in here and they're really easy to catch. So my girls are having some fun. But it ended up getting the bait and jumping back in. Alright, we caught our first fish. No, put it back in. I want it. No, Isla just caught her first. What do you think Isla? Nice one? Yeah. Pretty fun? It's going to jump back into the water. It looks like a brown to me. It might be a brown. I don't know if it's a brown or if it's a brook trout. Brown or a brook. Let it go. It's not very colorful for a brook. Can I put it in? Alright, you better let it go. Can I put it in? You've had it out too long. There it goes. Here we got another fish. This is like, what, our fourth? Fifteen and a half inches. Just look at the color on that thing. It's beautiful. There we go. Yeah, that's a tiger trout. Beautiful fish. Pull it out. Pull it out. Oh, look at that baby. Good job. Good job, Emma. That's a beautiful fish. You can tell it's a tiger. You can see the markings of a tiger there. Yeah. Come on. There it goes. Let's check our snow and see if it's melted. Yep, it's melted. What you got there, Isla? Whoa, that's a nice one. It's really big. Two pounds, ten ounces. I haven't been officially taught how to fillet a fish. This is just kind of the way I've kind of picked it up. So what are you doing there? I'm just taking off the skin. I can feel my knife sliding across the bones. Can I hear the bones going through the bones? Uh-huh. That gives you a good slab of trout. But here's all the bones right there. Hey, this is Steve. I'm here at our warehouse here in Provo, Utah. And I wanted to cook my fish while we were out on the ice. But it didn't work out that way, so my kids were starting to get sunburned and we were just having so much fun catching fish. I just couldn't get around to actually doing the cooking of the fish. So I decided I would bring the fish in and we would cook it for lunch here at work. So I'm going to go ahead and open up the firebox and get it going. Kind of do the urban setting here for the firebox. Put the ash pan in upside down to block off the holes. And I'm going to use some wood pellets. I'm going to put quite a few in because I'm going to try a different method of cooking this fish. Something I've never tried before. And it might have to cook kind of for a little bit longer. So... And then once again I'm going to use a quick stove fuel disc fire starter. Fire stick here to get this opened up. I'm not going to use the whole thing. I'm just going to use about a third of it. Break it up. Push it down in just a little ways. Just a couple of spots here. Because I wanted to try using our new kit pot. But rather than cook the fish right down in the kit pot, I wanted to try to do it as a double boiler kind of setup. And I'll show you what I mean as I get a little further along. So I'm going to go ahead and just put water in here. Put the lid on that. Get that water boiling. Okay, looks like we got our water boiling. So now what I was going to do is go ahead and put that in upside down. Just melt that in there. This is going to fill it right up. Put a little lemon on there. And some salt and pepper. Oh, that salt comes out fast. And I think I'm just going to leave my butter in the middle and just let it kind of make it extra yummy. And then I'm going to put my tin foil over the top. I think that's going to be kind of a way of poaching the trout. So let's see how that goes. We'll come back to you in just a few minutes. Okay, this has been running out here for a while. I think I want to go ahead and check it and see what's going on. Let's go ahead and pull off this foil. Oh wow, look at that. That's beautiful. I think it's almost, I think it's done. So that's just swimming in butter and lemon juice. Let me go ahead and open this up and make sure it's all done. Yeah, that's totally just flaking apart. That looks perfect. That looks beautiful. Let me go ahead and zoom in for you a little bit. Alright, I'm going to try some of this. See how it tastes. Wow, that's delicious. It's super, super tender. I'm going to dip this one down into the butter. Oh wow, that's good. There's a nice piece. Dipping it down in the butter is yummy too. Wow, that's delicious. Well everyone, thanks for watching. Oh man, that was good fish. We've all been kind of snacking on it out here for lunch. Good stuff. Poached trout. Good stuff. Thanks again for watching.
