Just started watching, and you're videos are some of the best I've seen. The information is great. I'm tired of just watch people fish without explaining anything.

[@PerryButler2024]

Talked to my fishing buddy, Bo and they sure enjoyed the couple days they fished with you. He said he learned a lot. Thank you for showing them a good time and sharing. PB

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

@@PerryButler2024 it was a pleasure being in the boat with them! We had a good couple days.

[@robpatterson2441]

Thanks for taking us along on another great outing! Your daughter is so cute. God bless!

[@daveshadwick3019]

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos. I like the way you explain what you are doing and using. I crappie fish a lot and yet I am still able to pick some tips from you. Don't change a thing!

[@Corey-th4hc]

Not much better than some Crispy Crappie! I always use the egg wash I’ll have to try the hot sauce. My favorite fish batter is Andy’s Red . Your daughter is sweet! It’s great that she’s not to shy to be on KZbin. Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Lester Me and my extended family is having a fish fry for Thanksgiving this year. We’ve had plenty of ham and turkey so far. I’m ready for some golden crispy Crappie, hush puppies and my wife’s homemade coleslaw! The cold cold weather is on the way! I’m ready to start finding them suspended crappie grouped up in that cold water! God bless

[@John-sn8ju]

It might have been tough on the water but I bet it was great at the supper table, love your videos and your daughter is precious keep up the good work and family time

[@mokush4me412]

Nice..I’ve never had crappie before. But I do know something about fried sacalait lol👍🏿

[@jamiecobb3549]

I had a few tough days like that. Sure makes you appreciate those good days. Looks like you got a fishing partner that will keep your secrets. Man those fillets looked tasty. My wife and I really like eating those Crappie also. Keep those videos coming.

[@jeffduncan2942]

Another great video Brandon! That’s exactly how I fillet mine. We’ve been hammering some slabs on Barkley Lake

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

@@jeffduncan2942 sounds like fun! Thanks for watching

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

@@billkennedy414 it’s coming. Thanks for watching!

[@Lip-em-up-fishing]

Great info love the channel

[@bill7949]

Thanks for the fish cooking tips,will try it

[@VanceStark-d9f]

Yellow cornmeal with 1 tbs salt per cup of meal. With fish in a colander squirt a little yellow mustard and move fish around to get a light coating as a binder. Take fish from colander to cornmeal and then to 350 deg oil. Good eating right there!

[@Eric_Cleckler]

I fish tidal water in eastern N.C. and I’m ready for some cold weather myself to get these fish bunched up around the mouth of creeks. I too like the zatarains fish fry and I use two step with it but I will definitely try the hot sauce next time for sure. Preciate the video sir!

[@garyscott9539]

Another awesome video. I’m 99 % jigs here on grand lake ok. I use a mixture of corn meal and flour and seasoning salt and pepper and ginger. More heat more pepper more zing more ginger. Hopefully I can make a trip down to Tennessee after your bass season next year and fish and learn from you.

[@davidclifton6717]

Man I like the reel you are using I just started using them and I’m very impressed with it I was using Lew’s and had a lot of problems with them

[@derrickmarts824]

I am going to start trying to film some of my fishing adventures and you channel is by far my absolute favorite for crappie. Can you give me a tip on what mic you use on your go pro?

[@randallmiller7082]

Looks like a good recipe for the breading. I'm going to try the hot sauce binder for sure.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

@@randallmiller7082 you will like it. Thanks for watching!

[@GaryWaddell-i1i]

Great video as usual

[@elkbow]

I was out yesterday, morning they wouldn't touch anything. Afternoon less stubborn. I tie my own hair jigs, when it gets tough I tip the jig with a minnow. My go to color, white 1/32nd head that I add glitter to the paint. Powder blue new age chenille body, white tail.

[@claydyer4867]

I like them just how you fry them and we need hush puppies of course! 😊

[@jonathan2227]

Crappie are best fried. I will try the hot sauce binder. I like to let my batter set before frying by setting them on a pan for 15 minutes battered. Keep crumbs from burning in the grease. I can reuse the grease a lot more.

[@jameswilliams5375]

Hey Brandon I watch every episode you put out love the content I’m over here at lake Chickamauga but I like fried the best blackened would be number two if you get a chance order some googan fish fry mix it is some good stuff!!

[@jeffschlegel6561]

I use 3/4 cup of Andy's yellow corn meal to 1/4 cup of Andy's Cajon. Every body in my family likes it that way. I live in South East Missouri, and your right, water temp needs to get colder.Thanks for the video.!!

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

@@jeffschlegel6561 thanks for watching!

[@michaelb2186]

Very nice video!

[@bill7949]

Love them there specks myself.

[@KrisHuff-v3r]

Brandon I egg, wash drain in collender. I use progresso seasoned bread crumbs put in a doubled up paper bag, to do the breading job . Works great for shaking the fish around. I do tape the corners of the paper sack. I also place the fish in a wire basket, that way they all go in at the same time. Happy fishing

[@carlreed9357]

Try adding some Italian bread crumbs to your Zatarains mix Really good flavor Great show.

[@anthonybacon7073]

Great video. Cute little fishing partner there. Do a video with you both fishing.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

@@anthonybacon7073 I plan on doing that. Thanks for watching!

[@patricklambert5622]

When and why you use a crappie magnets body or a trout magnet body.

[@Lanescruggs3]

Here lately I’ve been blackening with some cilantro lime rice! But there’s just something about fried crappie..

[@crappienaterfishing1198]

I never understood what is meant by natural color, especially when I see purple being used. What is natural about purple?

[@anthonybacon7073]

I like Dano’s seasoning on my crappie too.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

@@anthonybacon7073 I will have to try that! Thanks for watching

[@Grainraiser]

I use mustard as a binder and you don't taste it at all on fried fillets. I like my crappie fried and my catfish blackened over dirty rice. I pan fry white bass fillets and use them for fish tacos.

[@SteveTorres-gd7so]

Zatarains lemon pepper is my fav

[@bill7949]

Like them fried

[@joedavis2928]

I love hot sauce with catfish I will definitely be trying this recipe. Y’all should do some crappie cakes they will make your tongue slap your brains out 😜

[@spotweld]

Im partial to Shorelunch..fried of course

[@brandonmayo4758]

i like my crappie deep fried with yellow cornmeal and slap ya mama seasoning

[@RCL1]

They are not golden crispies for nothing!!
