If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Well said my friend.

[@LloydHenderson-gq6fy]

Excellent saying

[@awakenedtotruth8419]

Yup, I do my part. Like these youngins that buy gym shoes and smartphones, I buy Ugly Stiks. I have every model ever made 💸

[@awakenedtotruth8419]

I have been meaning to ask you about the deck barrel livewell. Other than being conveniently located, why do you use it instead of the boat's livewell?

[@seniorLu48]

The Lord provides us with so many good thing on this planet. Gracias

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Yes indeed

[@billc.2248]

Looks very yummy. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. You give a lot for us to enjoy . God bless . Life is good . Ii just turned 78 the 30th of August and I’m still fishing and enjoying life . God has really blessed me .

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thank you so much for watching, good fishing.

[@charlesmckay858]

“Wut you done caught!” 😂 Love it

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for watching.

[@lindabranum6686]

That is so sweet of you to feed your Sissy! What a great brother you are!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thank you.

[@User39.]

I was wanting to see you take some to your sister....thats cool

[@DB-cx6cb]

I am from Alabama my father and I would enjoy catching bass for the tuggle war and throw them back for another day. But agree with you crappie and bream stayed in the boat. Crappie is excellent, but nothing compares to the sweet meat of bream. Mother alway used your recipe being a Louisiana woman. Nothing compares ! Thank you for teaching others what Southern Delights are all about!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@roush1026]

Excellent video! Thank you. The Lord's plan is for you to be the great fisherman that you are, and educate others through your videos. You've been a big influencer for me.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I appreciate that!

[@vhf2582]

I really like these Old Fisherman cooking videos. Makes me hungry just watching.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

LOL, thanks for watching my friend.

[@thomaspoppe3886]

Great video!! Best eating are the bream in my opinion! Thanks Steve!!!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I love fried Bream, thanks for watching.

[@alancummings5651]

That is some good eating fish. And catching them if a blast too. Grew up doing this all the time with my family and I still do this and I’m 57.

[@mygrannysgarden]

Awesome. You are making me hungry. I know you enjoyed yourself. Thank you for sharing

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for watching Granny.

[@stephenfowler824]

Hey brother, this is one of the best bluegill and crappie fishing videos I have ever watched. Great job. God bless you and your family.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.

[@garycotz563]

Thanks for all that video work! Not many people go the full monty and show all the work that goes into being... the old fisherman!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks 👍

[@michaelfarmer537]

That was much appreciated! Just wished I could have pulled up a chair and had a bite. Thanks for taking the time to show the rest of us how to make a proper mess of fish. 😊👍

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Any time! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@clay3129]

Plain corn meal hands down best way to do it. Any seasoning takes away from that great panfish taste

[@theoldfisherman2040]

You got that right!

[@williamboyd776]

I'm sorry for your loss my friend. Thank you for sharing your trip & recipe with us. God bless you

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Kwambo19]

Phenomenal job sir and please remember to keep pushing with faith and your continuous prayers

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks my friend for watching.

[@nicelady51]

First time I've come across one of your videos. I have to tell you, I did triple-take when I saw you in the kitchen. You are a dead ringer for my last manfriend. You could be twins, I swear. I enjoyed the video because I live on a lake where I can catch these fish all day long. I enjoy seeing how others clean and cook them. I feel most any fish caught and eaten the same day is the way to go. Otherwise, I make chowder. To freeze, I put water in the bag with the fish. They don't get frost-bitten that way. Nice video, Sir!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks my friend for taking your time to watch The Old Fisherman Loving Life Videos, God Bless.

[@jonahlawrence6204]

Great video old fisherman God Bless you Old Fisherman

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks, you too!

[@joesguiltyguitar]

You cook those fish up like I would cook up the yellow belly bullhead catfish , looks tasty 😋

[@theoldfisherman2040]

So good, thanks for watching.

[@keithamylessr6058]

Your welcome and thank you for a great video sir

[@williamfranklinoutdoors4074]

The 2 fork method is the best way to do it!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Definitely! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@zdollerbill1]

Yep You got Me hungry also!! Great video!🐟🐟🎣🎣

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Glad you enjoyed

[@User39.]

You remind me of my grandpa....we would fish out of his 14ft aluminum semi-v with an old Johnson 9.5 hp pull-start...we would go to a shady cove and fish with worm and bobber usually...He would keep and clean most any fish.. back in the early 70's in Arkansas...These guys who just fish for bass and throw them back are strange in my book....my grandpa and me ate many a bass....to me the whole point is to catch them....then eat them....grandpa never froze fish...usually ate that day....he also had a blue toolbox...and could fix almost anything with the tools in that one toolbox

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I am just like your Grandpa. Thanks for watching my friend. PS Thank for sharing about your Grandpa.

[@ReformedFundy]

My grandma taught me that the tails and fins were the best part, lol. Fantastic eating fish, especially with those tail and fin chips.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JayJayandPapaw]

One of the most realistic video's I have ever seen on KZbin. I appreciate you. You remind me of my brother-in-law Stoney. He always fixed his fish like that and ate the tail as well. He called them fish chips.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks my friend for telling me that and thanks for watching.

[@williamboyd776]

Yeah. The tails n fins are the best part

[@emeliasgrandpa]

​@@williamboyd776 16:22 16:35 😅

[@skrimper]

​@@williamboyd776 I was sketched out the first time trying bluegill, everywhere I looked said to make sure and eat the fins. Was nervous and a little grossed out at the thought until I bit in. Instant favorite 😂❤

[@dannyberrysr.3769]

Brings back a lot of great memories with my mom and grandparents

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Glad to hear that my friend, thanks for watching.

[@bjeweled21]

Oh my, this takes me back. We never notched the fish but I will now. Beautiful. Thank you so very much.

Thank for taking us with you on your fishing adventure and for the awesome knowledge you provide to the fishing community especially the youngsters like me who's goal is to enjoy fishing and processing it the right way. Keep up what you do and happy catchin' and cookin'. Cheers from a fellow fisherman in the Nevada Desert! God bless.

Great video, Mr. Steve! I myself enjoy eating bream! I’ve never cut the fins out, but I’m definitely gonna try it!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

You should!

[@richmondtx2793]

Thats my favorite way to clean and eat fish too! More people should try it.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I agree!!

[@TuckerMcCannon]

45:36 I'm super glad I watched!!! The tail is the best, its like a crispy fish potato chip! I somehow knew you were going to eat it! Love this video and the recipe and cook'in show!

Other than catfish, I have never had any other type of freshwater fish. I now have the opportunity to do some freshwater fishing in Arkansas on a regular basis and am now looking forward to catching some and cooking it exactly the way you do! Thanks for the videos.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

My daddy never had a boat so he would pond fish. He loved bream and that is about all he would fish for. Hard to beat the taste of bream. You have some of the best size here to eat. Man o man.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@bethhutto9800]

Those look so good! Made me fish hungry. That's exactly the way I cook them except I put corn meal in a zip lock bag and after I salt & pepper I throw the fish in and close the bag and shake it around. It coats them really good and it's faster. Thanks for the video

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks my friend for watching.

[@pedrolsantiagosr5092]

Heading to Lake Okeechobe in the morning to do some bass and crappy fishing with my son, can't wait.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Hope you have a great time my friend.

[@wwsuwannee7993]

This is classic...salt, pepper, and cornmeal. I might have added some Old Bay to the cornmeal. It doesn't matter, it don't get more basic or delicious than this. This is the fish my Grandpa made, and I remember the dozen or so relatives that spent the whole weekend at his house loving it. Big huge pot of beans, a ton of cornbread, maybe some fried rabbit, all kinds of fish fried in this manner, big, huge skillet of fried potatoes, and whatever was ready from the garden. All the kids sleeping on the living room floor. Lighting farts in our underware in the dark and laughing so hard it hurt ...had to throw that in lol

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks my friend for your comment and for watching.

[@enduringpatriot]

Man, I would love to get on a big school of bream/bluegill like that. You fried them up the same way I do. Mr. Steve, the way my mama used to do!

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@joeclark7082]

Great video! I grew up in the country and our neighbor about a mile down the road lived an old man who had grown up in the community and had always fished in our pond long before we owned it. After my parents bought the place in the 80's, he continued to fish there just like he always had. I remember my dad saying that he had more right to those fish than we did. The old man would sometimes invite us over to eat fish and this is exactly how he would fry them up. As a kid, I didn't appreciate the bones much but now it's a great memory. RIP Mr. A.J. Harris -East Caney TX
