Catching dinner with my wife (First Time Crappie Fishing)

[@collinraxdale952]

In Louisiana we throw the fish filets in a bowl of mustard and hot sauce. Mix it all together, then batter them. Fish has a little tang and spice. The Louisiana Batter has a lot of salt in it. No need to season before.

[@BostenRedSoxs34]

soak them in hot sauce first, then put your fish fry in a bowl/plastic bag with your seasonings. toss the fish in the bag, make sure you get a good shake in so all the seasoning gets on the fish. then you are ready to fry

[@MyVenom1776]

This is so awesome!! I miss my wife fishing with me. But we will again someday R.I.P. my love

[@taylorjoshd]

Dude, your wife needs her own youtube channel. She's freakin HILARIOUS!!!

[@kevinphillips5245]

Get one bag of the yellow Louisiana fish fry and one bag of the red Louisiana fish fry and mix the two together and then pepper your milk that you dip it in before the batter. Dip in the milk then the batter then straight to the oil. Don't. worry about salt becuasethe mixture of the two fish Frys have all the sodium you need.

[@stevehogan8829]

Nothing betterr than someone getting excited about catching a fish... Kinda like listening to kids laughing. it's just fun to see people having fun fishing. Really good that you guys can get out and get on a lake. The majority of stuff is closed down here in SWFlorida. Docks, State parks, camping fishing beach all shut down... If you have a house on the water with a boat and dock you're good to go but that's not me. Glad you got to fish. Thanks for sharing

[@fadethenoise9704]

Don’t question this man’s crappie fishing ability woman!!! 😋 One of the best fishermen on the planet. 😉

[@slamminjrod]

Louisiana fish fry and when u pull them out sprinkle a little granulated garlic powder perfect sac a lait fillets 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@perm27]

lol...."I thought this was like easier..." Love it..

[@dusty1792]

Lol love the Barstool one bite scoring. Thanks for doing these videos during this time.

[@rodneyclayton6594]

My wife and I have been chasing crappie all weekend on Chickamauga glad to see someone else getting out there and enjoying the water

[@jamiejohnson1200]

Alicia is funny AF. Keep your bobber away from mine! There's a wad of them right there I can feel it 😆😆😂

[@nickmcdaniel5676]

I like the zatarans crispy southern style. Add a tsp of salt to a small box. Soak fillets in either sprite or bud light, pat dry and batter. Great video. Nice to see how the other half lives. Lol.

[@4bryguy]

Here's a try for your seasoning. Put a 2-1-1 ratio of Granulated garlic(2), Salt(1), and Pepper(1) in a bowl, mix it until evenly mixed, then add to a shaker you can find at any restaurant supply store (you looking for a shaker with about 20+ holes in the lid). Then evenly shake/Coat the fish. Its what we do in our restaurant. Love the content, thank you!

[@Alkihauler]

Lolol 6:40 “this is exhaaaausting”!! Hilarious! 😂🤣

[@josephwilliamson3039]

I didn’t know you had an aluminum boat and I have watched you for so long and I love your fishing videos and your my favorite person that is in MLF

[@richardheflin1552]

I love Alicia's comments!!!! Great video. LOL

[@WestCoastChris138]

You guys are hilarious 😂 together! Great job Alicia 👍🏻

[@bayoucritter]

We call them Sac-a-lait in S Louisiana. Can’t go wrong with Tony’s and La Fish Fry batter.

[@kevinnelson4348]

me and my dad use to tie out at night under the trussel bridge on lake harding here in alabama, we would have lanterns hanging down over the water and we would straight line down with shiners and straight kill them. great times.

[@seth2070]

There ain't nothin like gettin the ol lady on some fish. Just got done puttin the hammer on 39 slabbies yesterday with my ol lady. Gotta love the laughs and smiles every time! And of course some social distancing on the boat. But your aluminum...absolute dream boat! Aluminum boats are the way

[@waynefilmalter8516]

Loved the video, it was fun watching the two of you chillaxing together 😃👍🏼

[@DanielThomason]

The “little boat”

[@brettbelcher425]

Wow! That tackle isle u have in garage is awesome! A video going over some of your stock would be awesome I understand if u dont want to show some of the secret stuff though

[@sawyer_3759]

Brett Belcher I want to see that too

[@dylancalkins5361]

He has done a couple. One of his recent ones he goes over how he re-organizes his boat every month.

[@denverjbaker]

Sour cream as a binder, salt and pepper, then all purpose flour. Deep fry til done. Great stuff! 👍🏼

[@timcox4123]

Dip the egg than flour deep fry till brown or us eggs than crushed crackers. salt/pepper to your liking. Good luck stay safe!

[@geraldkoth654]

Walleye bites. Cut in about 1 inch cubes, dust with Louisiana fish fry, then wrap with a half strip of bacon. Put on some butter and grill on foil or in a foil pan until bacon is crisp. The regular and the crispy are both great on all sorts of fish. I like them better than Shore Lunch.

[@jonasrose3793]

DANG!! Had ol Carole Baskins in the kitchen with you!! Lol. My wife and I watched that this weekend as well!! Good video J Wheel!! Crappie are my absolute passion, only fish I target when I get on the water!! Try some of John Godwins (Duck Commander) recipe.... bath the fillets in mustard, dredge them in all purpose flour and then coat them in crushed up corn chips!! The ABSOLUTE best crappie recipe out there!!

[@bigdawgbassin9001]

What's up Jacob and Alicia, and Brody, I don't live far from you guys, All the ramps are closed, except a few, never thought it would come to this, you guys stay safe, love the vlogs, seems a little more normal amid all this crazy stuff going on. Thanks

[@charliem8458]

Look this is the way... soak fillets in mustard water for a few hours. Season with tony c or old bay that's it, your call. Then batter with regular corn meal, that's all you need. Fry. Finish with lemon or hot sauce. Simple 💯🔥

[@mgulla100]

Excellent!

[@lawrencepecue9753]

In Louisiana we call them sacalait.

[@jimlouviere8921]

You have the right stuff. Just season the fish with the Tony's and bread with Louisiana Fish Fry. I use a little Yellow Mustard to add a little tang to the fish. And, fish needs to be a little spicy to be good.

[@johnevers3531]

Told MDJ the other day, try soaking the fillets in hot sauce for about 15 mins, then bread and frying them.

[@tjrou2005]

The Carole skit had me rolling. Great vid

[@timlanglois6109]

Try flour then egg wash then yellow cornmeal add your seasoning to the flour then deep fry on any fresh water fish

[@-AverageJoe-]

"I thought this was like...easier" probably my favorite line in the video. Reminds me of when I take my wife out

[@zachnagel7022]

The best batter hands down is the Louisiana brand fish batter u don’t have to do any mixing it’s already to go when u get in the bag and can get it at pretty much and grocery store

[@Smile4MyAC130]

If you can find it where you shop for groceries or Walmart should have it. Look for Kentucky Kernel seasoned flour. It's the best.

[@patriotichuntn6318]

GREAT VIDEO! Might need to take the wife and kids out to catch some crappie for dinner tomorrow.

[@kylevodden19]

Couldn’t help but notice. You should take 20 min and level the AC condenser out. It ripping forward like that will eventually loose the oil to the evap oil and compressor won’t like that. As a AC mechanic up here in Ontario that’s a common problem I see that leads to expensive compressor change out and evap coil flushing. Just an FYI pal. Keep bassin!

[@changeaddresses402]

Hey Jacob great video bro the only thing you need for your fish to turn out awesome is that Louisiana fish fry add black pepper, onion and garlic powder I will assure you that it will be awesome

[@jenandmikethull1279]

If you like hot sauce on fish, try soaking or dipping the fish in hot sauce and then rolling them in batter after the hot sauce bath.

[@cherbert359]

next time your back home in the Hoosier state we need to hit Cagle Mills For walleye lol

[@staveman11]

You should try House Autry seafood breading (Wal-Mart). Also they have hush puppy mix which I like a little cream corn and onion in.the seafood really sticks good to the fish. Awesome video! Thanks!

[@ShellFitter]

Great video!!! Nice to see the family side of J-Wheel!

[@jamesmims5850]

Can’t wait for y’all to get back on the water to catch some bigs.

[@jordanmcclellan9315]

Love watching you brother ! You two are awesome !!

[@sbauche]

HA!! I love this so much!!!!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

That's awesome Alish got you some crappie, their the best to eat, if you try brim or blue gill I like to bake them in tin foil with butter & garlic clove, got to watch the bones though! Texas Pete with habanero umm good👍

[@mohunter68]

Yep, Seth Gibson and myself agree. Andy's in the orange package is the Only fish breading that I use. Sometimes I will use half Andy's Red and half straight yellow corn meal when I'm cooking fish for my Mom because she doesn't like anything too strong or spicy. Even if I don't have Andy's Red I will just use seasoned yellow corn meal with salt/pepper and I don't dry my fillets before going into the corn meal, I leave them damp and it helps the breading stick to the fillets. Also have your oil hot so the fillets cook fairly quick. Good rule of thumb is 350 deg. on a deep fryer and no longer that 3 minutes and they are done. If I pan fry on top of the stove I preheat the oil on the 9 setting for electric burners and do a little test to see if it's hot enough by taking a pinch of the breading and sprinkle it in the skillet. If it starts to sizzle when it hit's the oil it's time to put your fillets in. Most people don't get their oil hot enough before putting the fillets in and end up over cooking them. I don't know if you have ever fried deer backstrap or tenderloin, but the same method applies and even when pan frying a steak. Get your skillet or pan hot first then put the fillet in, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side and they are crispy on the outside and tender flaky on the inside. Hope this all makes sense. I wish that I could fry fish for y'all and I could show you exactly how it's done here in the Southeast portion of Missouri. Loved the video BTW and taking your wife Alecia was nice, you should do that more often she's got a wonderful personality.

[@joshualee6765]

i usually add andy's yellow mix n a lil bit of everglades rub seasoning with it for some kick i add that with shake n bake for chicken aswell

[@mulldrifterz6469]

Jacob, put the salt in the batter, not on the fish. It brings too much of the moisture out if directly on the fillets. Also, You can bypass the salt all together if you use Mrs Dash seasoning. Amazing stuff, can get it at Wal-Mart.

[@chrismcmillen7830]

Mr. Wheeler, I noticed in the video that A/C unit on the side of your home is leaning severely you may need to address this before you have issues down the rode cuases unit to work harder, I had this issues and learned the hard way. Enjoyed the video, live easy, fish hard.

[@jasononeill93]

Brody with the OG Hoosier bass team shirt.

[@shawndaniels1454]

Might try getting a gallon zip lock bag,, add some corn meal,, and all you seasoning you want on your fish, zip the bag and shake,, taste your mix and you'll be able to tell if to much of something or not enough,, add your fish a few fillets at a time, zip and shake till coated all over,, drop in fryer and when they float they be done,, my great grandmother taught me this and with crappie especially it's easy to over cook so again floating means done,,, my personal seasoning preference is Lawry's, cavenders, pepper, and a touch of lemon pepper,,, anyways enjoy my friend

[@nickmariconi1520]

Ok I'm really liking this catch to cook vids and rating how the food comes out. We need MORE of these until tourneys start up for you again 😃

Lucky to live the life. And have a beautiful wife too!! You hit the jackpot brother!!!??👍👍👍

Great video , good to see you pros invite us in on you all’s daily life as we all are locked down nice video.

[@jessekersey2267]

Cover the fillets with franks redhot then batter then drop in the grease

[@glynnwilliams4748]

Jacob, If you like a pepper type taste, then try everglades fish fry. Great stuff, and they also have a everglades season that is great on chicken. Glynn

[@jeremyjohnston2583]

Cover it in mustard, and rooster hot sauce and then dip in batter. Then fry. Can’t beat it

Cholula hot sauce is the best

[@captainyoung1569]

Louisiana hot sauce has vinegar in it that's why it taste better my opinion

[@davidhodges1483]

Another great video. Thank you for these "quarantine videos" they are awesome. However, I do have a same rant not against you or anyone in your family. How can you dislike these videos when someone is spending quality time with a loved one? All I can say is that I thank God that I'm not quarantine with these types of people.

[@tylermitchellwatts]

Make sure you soak them in cold salt water for an hour or so before you bread them or freeze them. It cuts down on the amount of salt you have to add and helps it not be to gamey tasting.

[@codyallen9188]

i use franks red hot instead of milk before batter its pretty good!

[@BassGeek]

Nothing better than a load of crappie.

[@theom.5165]

Love the video y’all was hilarious

[@sethgibson5814]

Should try Andy’s fish batter that’s what we use in the Midwest a lot.

[@joshualee6765]

andy's and schnucks brand is the same stuff.. andy's sold it to schnucks aswell

[@jamesmims5850]

Love all that you do. I’m from south Louisiana. The trick to Louisiana seasoned fish fry is to season only one side of the fillets then put them in a bowl and roll them around. After that place them in the fridge to chill cold fish into hot grease makes them firm. Mdj is right about rolling them in the fish fry just b4 they hit the grease. Fry them at 375 degrees bc when the fillets hit the oil it drops the temp to 350. Fry to a golden brown. Can’t go wrong.

[@tracywilhite144]

Just put the fish fry in a bowl. You don’t need to add salt or pepper, add Tony’s for extra kick. Put filets in bowl put top on and shake them up. That’s all you need.

[@prestonlittlejohn5659]

Jacob great vid did you and wifey put in at wolftever boat ramp they said it was closed.

[@derekmason7778]

The carole baskin joke was fuckin savage i love it 😂😂😂

[@danielbyorickjr.6585]

Soak the fillets in some Frank's red hot or other hot sauce before you roll them in the breading and fry them. Gives them the perfect hot sauce undertone!

[@TheRick2130]

coat the fish w/ your favorite hot sauce as a base, then either add your seasoning then your breading..
