Bluegill Catch and Cook at the Creek

so hey guys we are back at the creek and we have to try to fish our trap out that jacoby lost in the last vlog well what else are we going to do while we're down here today we're going to do a catch and cook with bluegill maybe if we can catch any pull that trap in put it right here by the feeder let's see if it caught any bluegill yeah yeah we caught a few little babies little bitty ones there's one pretty good size one in there not really big enough to eat hold on to the end of the string that's good there's jacoby's lost trap we're gonna let emily fish it out with the fishing pole a little treble hook on there just hook the chain emily and pull the chain up okay get it yep real oh you got a big one don't break my line emily i asked you to hook the chain you hooked the trap hey we saved the trap good job emily oh you almost lost it we caught one little bluegill well at least we got our trap back that's a start but we didn't catch any bluegill big enough in any of the traps to work on a catch and cook so we got fishing poles we're gonna run over here the dam hit some of the deeper holes and see if the kids can catch us enough big size bluegills that we can do a catch clean and cook because that's what houston's wanting to do he's never eaten bluegill down here on the creek we've never actually done a catch clean and cook on bluegill so this morning about eight o'clock he said hey i got an idea so here we go we're gonna run with it yeah i saw it one of them jumped up and nailed it who's his beggar oh houston get him over here get him over here so did houston can i can we keep that emily lost hers can we keep this what'd you do that for can we keep it can we keep it i don't know that we're gonna eat that small mouth big small mouth this is a huge small mouth i didn't know we had this in our creek hold it up that's a monster i had no idea we had these in our creek yeah you did just not that big a small mouth huh no that's a good looking fish so you're going to turn him back right no no why not because you're hungry right yeah look at that dude i thought this was going to be a bluegill catching well maybe with one maybe with one little bass all right well i guess he's your fish you better not let him get in the water he's gonna get away he has no idea what's going on right now one thing about it there ain't no fish safe around houston there's there's nothing too good too good for houston not to eat he's he catches a fish it's going in a frying pan oh yep you got one don't reel it up so far buddy is that one big enough let me see let me see it let me see it look at there he's not huge but we can dang sure fry him up we need bigger ones than that though okay buddy yeah try to catch the big ones yeah well we can keep this little one think so yeah get down there in that ice water oh emily's got one big enough for sure bring it over here hold him up here oh he couldn't resist that little purple rooster tail could he that's a good frying size green sunfish you want to bite bella ah too bad that's for us that's for us golly golly golly golly what are you doing up the tree jimma she looks like a wet rat oh no there's a big old bluegill chasing it got him not quite big enough houston what you're gonna be in charge of getting the fire going think you can handle that yeah wait did you bring the tools to make it oh yeah so houston's uh bluegill catch and cook idea kind of turned into a bluegill and bass catch and cook we caught a couple decent bluegill a pretty good little green sunfish that emily caught they're all dead we had them on ice in our little cooler we're gonna skin them all up but guess what usually a catch and cook at the creek it's kind of like it's kind of like the guys thing right well guess what but not the girls we got emily and mom to join us she wants a little fish smell on her fingers too today y'all got a fire going yet this time it's mom and emily yeah so get that fire going i don't i don't see a fire yet should i do it this way yep okay strike it like a match it's burning underneath put it underneath put it underneath so with these little green sunfish and bluegill and things we're not going to fillet them like we would a bass we caught a couple nice little creek bass houston's got his big smallmouth bass but something like these these little bluegill and green sunfish we're not going to fillet them we're basically going to scale them cut the heads off gut them and then we're going to cook them whole so there's just not enough fish there to worry about trying to fillet them it's important to get all the scales off the scales don't taste good but the fins the fins are delicious they're a little a little crispy so we're just going to take the head off and get the guts all out just cut the belly open and it should all just peel right out there we go we're going to rinse it off yep that little sunfish is ready to go in the frying pan here hold the cornmeal buddy those are holy fish holy fish got a little slits in them so our cornmeal batter will get down in there our little bluegill and our bass fillets rinse them off in this good clean creek water right not sure how mom feels about that i feel some bones right there i need to cut some stuff out my bones in that one mom always says she's the best cook in the household so we ought to let her do the cooking right uh what are you gonna be sure and do with that black bag right there i'm gonna zip it before i turn it upside down that'd be great man i learned a hard lesson about that houston one day one day all right we got to get our grease hot too hopefully we don't have a flash fire here houston i'm excited to eat some fish what are you doing chillaxing look at that it's like eating a whole fish right there eating skin and all right it looks like it looks like there's like no skin on it are you gonna eat the fins and the tail maybe not the fins or the tail i think our oil is getting hot your little smoky fire you built smoking but you ready to put some fish in there yeah let's do it all right let's see it drop hey easy easy easy there's a hole probably it's got fins them fish have fins let's see you drop one or two fillets in there see what you got easy be careful let's get another crop another uh bluegill in there no no no no no get another bluegill in there another bluegill baby let's get them out let's get them in oh that looks delicious does it yeah it's like a whole fish doesn't it yeah try not to get me burnt dad i have a feeling i know which one mom's gonna eat i think she's gonna go for the bass fillets houston i bet mom's probably not gonna jump all over those what do you think definitely not these hey there's a butt oh yeah there's a butt right there that's my butt when you're always making the fire always be careful and always have adults with you really good job good safety tip houston thanks what's the matter bella you waiting on the food let's get some fish guys all right you've got to eat one of those okay i don't want that big well here i'll eat it here you can have a little one if you're gonna eat bluegill out of the creek you gotta listen to me all right the best part is the last part that comes out of the water okay you gotta eat the tail why do i have to eat the tail that's the best part skin and all on these little bluegill just adds so much flavor look at the white flaky meat and it just peels right off the backbone see the ribs and there's the backbone that's the only thing about it you just gotta watch and not eat those you gotta dip it in a little red love sauce taking the fins off it's good stuff i'm gonna have to spin the camera around and let mom at least try it because she's never had bluegill either it's good stuff okay here goes nothing it's just crunchy it's just the crunchy part how is it you eat the tail now be careful there's a lot of bones in there okay all right mom my turn it's really good just too bad we didn't have a bluegill that was like you know five times that size yeah that would have been better but it's still really good i need some salt good stuff is it worth eating where's my plate oh this is your plate you put it down and it disappeared i got dad's plate how's that hey that's your big small mouth right there let's see what you think about that another one that you said was the butt tastes just like bass well that's what it is it's a small mouth bass buddy did you know that delicious so yes i know our bluegill are small but the tails are the best part and there's just not a lot of meat on those little bitty bluegills but if you can go out and catch one that's about you know two three times this size scale it roll it in cornmeal fry it up on the creek i mean this fish was literally swimming right there in our creek yeah let's say an hour ago that's fresh right there so there you have it catch and cook on the creek was that what you were wanting to do today yes and that's the second time the second time of these two years last year we did it and now this year yep so if you missed that video houston's been begging to do another catch and cook i'll try to find that video from last year and leave a link in the description box and leave a card up there so what we did last year houston and i went went fishing in the creek and caught a bunch of bass out of the swimming hole right there and brought our walk down here and actually cooked the fish right in the middle of the creek on a little sandbar we didn't do that today uh we just brought out a little cast iron skillet our fire didn't quite get hot enough but we're still working on that but either way it was fun houston woke up this morning saying dad let's do a bluegill catch and cook so we didn't have anything going might as well do it so i'm glad you're happy is that what you want to do today who caught the most fish that's the thing i think it was me oh i didn't okay i think mom didn't even go fishing but i'm proud of her for coming down here i think dad kind of caught the most because he kept walking down and every cast he would like but who caught the biggest me oh my gosh i did i think houston caught the biggest most of you people are going to say i cannot believe you let that kid kill that really pretty small mouth bass well guess what we enjoyed it we raised them right here in our creek we're on our own property comes up out of the lake they swim up here it it's legal it's going in our skillet when houston catches it hey they're right yeah if it's legal it's going in his skillet i mean he did go to jimmy houston's ranch in his private lake and talk him out of eight of his big large mouth bass and we ate those two didn't we yeah but my dad got the big small mouth on the hook and then he handed it over to me so but i did have it so long well listen here houston that's supposed to be our secret you're not supposed to tell all those people that i hooked that fish for you that's your fish you caught it i i mean i i saw it on video they saw it on video you caught the fish i don't know what you're talking about so well you want to wrap this up we're just blabbering on now hang on guys hang
