Bowfin or as Cajun say, “choupick” sound like shoe pick! Keep em alive and cook the meat instantly after cleaning or it gets mushy and that’s why they callem mud fish. If it does get 30min-1hr old just make fish cakes out of it. It’s sticky like ground beef but absolutely delicious and hard to catch too. Nice choupick

Nice sacs mica

love the vids to this day Micah, keep it up!!

I’m just curious Micah but how deep is the water along the weed line you were fishing?

Red sky I'm morning

Ye it's still a hearing 😂 Love the videos tho man , you, ace, and ancient always Killin it 🙏

Oregano and rosemary tea can help with that cold Micah... no sugar tho

I can take a kitten. I'm in NC

That fish you called a mud fish is a Bowfin!! I have caught them in southern Piedmont NC

I've always heard those mud fish being called bowfin

Mud fish i believe is the southern slang for bowfin

Amazing like always bro keep up the amazing work and never give up

I can't believe you threw back 2 $500 mud fish. Would've loved to see that turtle in action. 😂 Watch your health Micah!!

In Louisiana, we call those bowfin or chouqique. THey are good, but are challenging. Keep them live as much as possible and don't rinse them in water, or else they get mushy. Grill or fry immediately. They are very tasty. And fight like crazy. I've never caught a small one. Only big ones. Enjoy. Love your videos. I wait for them daily.

Dude.. im so glad i found your channel. Been looking for a while for some one local to me. Im in the murray area as well as love fishing and camping the whole state. U should really try lower saluda below the dam. We have smallies and trout here too.

I know why you've been sick for two weeks, look at the sky, its covered in chemtrails. RFK jr. Will ban them nation wide Lord willing.

I know hunting isn’t ur type of videos but considering opening season of duck hunting u could do a fishing and duck hunting video catch clean cook

He said smoke a pancake

you started off with the daddest of dad jokes. this is gonna be fun.

🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍👍👍awesome video man .

This my first time watching your videos

Choupic (sp?) You gotta keep them alive and cook them as soon as you clean them or else the meat gets super mushy and gross. But fresh they are awesome

Trash/built up gunk in the blades. A good smack knocks the funky stuff off and let's the blades spin

In Louisiana the mud fish is called a shoe pick

Another great video! Keep up the good work

Im up every morning at 3:45 AM for work and dont get home till 5 or 6 pm lol

You know what is that fish kind of reminds me of a snake head that they have down here in Florida and if it resembles the taste of a snake head, it taste awesome. You gotta try eating one.

Did you catch a Big Mac?

Thank you so much for making these videos and being so positive their really entertaining and fun to watch❤

You have to be careful with bowfin cause if your gonna eat them they have to stay alive till the fillet process and then you cannot rinse the fillet in water it will turn to mush . So you clean with paper towels and you cant refrigerate them or freeze them . And the species has been around since dinos roamed the earth . All Facts bud

Micah those bowfin (mudfish) are really really tasty!! Definitely think a bowfin challenge would be awesome on your channel, another banger per usual 💯💯

Its a bowfin

The bowfin or mudfish aren't bad smoked or you can make patties like they do with gar. Very bony and has a weird texture but they don't taste bad.

I feel you. Get off work at 3pm and I’m out of light by 5:30pm. 😒

Im going thru the same illness right now lol yuck !!!!

Awesome! The island survival video with only subscriber baits is one of my favorites of all time.

that mudfish looks like a bowfin or i m wrong

Being higgghhhh ASF and watching this is 🔥 🔥 thanks man 😂always wonder if you're a stoner or if it's just a coincidence 😂😂

What a epic challenge all the food looked delicious

Everyone I know calls those Bowfins and not mudfish because they don’t live the mud like actual mudfish which looks like catfish

My butt itches!

Do you know what would be fun? Bring back the wheel challenge. What yah think?

Fire video

Great job 👍

Mika Asa and me ancient rock!!!

56 degrees is shorts and t-shirt weather!

Bowfin, or what you call mudfish, are really tasty BUT you need to eat then asap after you dispatch them or they get mushy. Mushy meat can still make great fish cakes though! I catch most of mine on fresh cut bluegill for bait and even small live bluegill right up next to weedlines. Sure you'll get a catfish here and there too but nothing wrong with that!

The mudfish is also called a bowfin.
