Awww y'all shoulda gave that fella the fish. I always keep a few fish in my boat alive in case I see a bank fishermen not having any luck. The appreciation of outdoorsman is priceless.

[@jacktaylor1030]

Mean Gene, Some folks go fishing for food, and looking at this dude, I'm sure he saw a nice Sunday Dinner being put back in the drink. I agree 100%, that Jay should've of let the man have the fish, I know he would've put it to good use feeding his family. I know Jay saw the Buffalo as a big beautiful fish who deserved to swim away for another day of life, I also feel that having some compassion for the elderly fisherman who's is fishing for food should take precedence over conservation. Please share some of your fish for those who politely ask I don't know how y'all come across all these great fishing holes, y'all had a wonderful day of fishing action, hooking into those Huge Buffalo's. That's what I call an action packed fishing day full of excitement. Love y'all.

[@joeysok2366]

Agree💯

[@jeffreyyenior9757]

That dude is wearing newish blue jeans, a down vest, $40.00 hat and a pretty heavy duty bait casting set up. Pretty sure he isn't starving. It's bad etiquette to stand there with your stringer in hand asking for the fish. If Jay didn't want to let it go she would have offered the fish, which is then just fine to accept. My guess is if the guy was truly in need, Cole and Jay would have given him that fish, their other fish and taken him to Chick Fillet.

[@meangenevstheworld.7773]

@@jeffreyyenior9757 dang I didn't investigate the guy for homeland security. It's not about what the guy could afford. Fresh home cooked fish is what he wants. Lol I don't see anything wrong with asking for someone's fish if they are throwing it back. Not like begging for money are something. Geez

[@COLE_and_JAY]

After releasing my fish, Cole actually caught another buffalo and gave it to that guy. I filmed it but it just didn’t make the cut in the video because there was so many people around and it wasn’t very good. Thanks for watching! ❤️ - Jay

[@nm2795]

This is why I love y’all!! You go for fun. And u fish to eat to. But I still love that u catch and release and u eat it!!

[@keithtyson9512]

I got my wife hooked on your videos. She is a subscriber! Next time you have to keep one save one side for fish stew. Believe me you might not be letting all of them go! Thanks for letting me tag along.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

I was hanging on to every hook up,,,so glad Jay was able to get one to stay on,, What a fight !! You both were able to land one....If the score card has a top spot ..it must be.........DANG GOOD!!!....Great fun to watch !........

[@jackywaldon359]

That was a lot of fun watching you guys bringing in the buffalo. I've never ate one before I guess I'll have to try it sometime. You two are the best.

[@kathyjoburrow7563]

Yet another great video from Cole and Jay! Love when you do catch and cooks, and I really love you tried something new. I bet Jay's arms are SORE!☺

[@lecardios]

FYI, If you score the pieces with all those tiny bones in them, in a cross hatch pattern before you coat them in the corn meal, those tiny bones get cooked/dissolved out and you have a really good piece of fish left! Once I found that trick, I now enjoy buffalo fish.

[@glassontherocks]

Yep !!

[@billmitchell7731]

True. I love buffalo. Not so much when it cold . My grandmother loved buffalo Roe. The eggs 🤣

[@dannyjohnson7512]

My wife and I love to eat these fish occasionally..we subscribe because it's great watching u catching various fish with different techniques.

Congrats Jay you finally landed a giant

[@toddthebod22]

Poor Jay kept missing fish! I liked her Jay shuffle on top of the dam! I’ve never had buffalo. I’m a picky fish eater and not a fan of anything that’s real fishy tasting but it sounds like it was good.

❤❤❤ I love y'all so much you guys are so good for each other 😘😘 you guys are so cute together I love that y'all both compliment one another 💋💋 and I love watching all of your videos keep fishing y'all love from Erie Pennsylvania

[@jtarryohpengyew8173]

Thanks for sharing, I seen so many fishing video and I want to say that the way you people eat fish is so difference from we Asian eat fish. For us we have the whole fish accept to gut, scale and bone. We cook curry with the fish head and the rest with different ways. We steam, fried, soup, nothing is wasted.

[@atticus0715]

I truly respect the both of you. I love how the two of you want to conserve fish. We don't know all that went on between the 2 of you and the gentleman that wanted Jay's fish, and I'm sure you followed your heart when deciding to release the fish instead of giving it to him.

[@rodneygreen9968]

Nice Catch Guys. Most fish is good to eat, no matter what. It fed you both. So that is a plus for the day. All good Fisherman have to Experiment something when they cook. Carp is good Smoked also. Get JAY some CIRCLE HOOKS. Then nothing gets lost. Keep the Great Videos Going Youall. We keep Watching.

[@rodneygreen9968]

@Bert Clayton #3 or Larger. Depending on the Size of your Bait.

[@josephs8829]

Love your faces when you tried the Buffalo fish . Never crossed my mind to eat these fish , surprised there wasn't more of a mudline in them.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

Yeah it was easy to cut out!!!

[@davidmilton5887]

My grandmothers favorite fish.Damn good fish,dense meat for fish.

[@Thepondguy85]

Oh yeah another video. I'm glad I came across yalls channel.

[@mariemaroney7891]

Never heard of Buffalo Fish. Hmmmm. Learn something new everyday.

[@damondiehl5637]

They are native to America, whereas carp are not. Commercial fisherman get as much as six times more for buffalo than carp. We shipped the buffalo we caught to the Chicago fishmarket. A lot of it went to Jews for gefilte fish.

[@Obiwan65]

Nice dam fish! Nice dam video !

[@jameskoch7190]

Enjoyed! Thanks for using the term lateral line instead of blood line. Again enjoyed, thanks.

[@jamesfleming1861]

Given the things we have seen you eat, I can’t believe how apprehensive you were about eating the buffalo. LOL!

[@b.j.harris9109]

I love you guys you'll are amazing and glad that it was a good fish to eat cause I know how you'll dont like killing stuff just to try so glad you'll enjoyed it and also Happy Birthday two both of you'll hope you'll had great ones but again appreciate all you'll do love the channel cant get enough of you guys keep it up and are you'll doing any more like 6 sense unboxing you know like the one you'll get every monthly of not I like stuff like that but keep up the great work and even better fishing

[@บังอามวัยรุ่นต้องตกปลา]

I like both of them. Very cute.

[@davidhopson2004]

Fried buffalo ribs are great. But if you want to eat the whole fish. Cook it on the grill wrapped with. Heavy aluminum foil a can of beer stick of butter. Salt pepper to taste. Cook until the meat falls off the bones. Best way I've. Found to tell when it's done. Is when the meat separares away from. The fin on the back on it's on. About 3 hours for a fish that size. As always God Bless love y'all. PS all the little bones can be easily removed with your fingers

[@RiverBanks-OzarkStoryteller]

Oh and great smoked too!

[@raymondsimpson7433]

Yes they are good eating, they will actually make oil while you fry them lol my dad would clean them in such a way that there was just 1 big bone in each piece of fish

[@peterm.eggers520]

There are videos on how to fillet out the "Y" bones. There are 2 rows. One row goes the entire length, one row only about halfway. It is relatively easy to pick the bones out of cooked fish though, but of course not necessary, if you use the right fillet technique.

[@Mac6011]

That was a lot of fun :-)

[@pmartin6759]

Knew a guy years ago that proved to me Buffalo fish were very good. Most people don't like them because of their bones. This guy said his grandpa had taught him how to chop up the bones with a meat cleaver to where when fried those bones would be very crunchy and could be eaten. They were wonderful and the bones were crunchy and could be eaten. Wished I remembered how he did this but it truly worked.

[@lucabrasiinspired7763]

I would have given the fish to that man. Never know if that is the only meal they can get. Great video

[@COLE_and_JAY]

We actually gave him a different fish off camera 👍

[@lucabrasiinspired7763]

Your good people I wasn’t trying to criticize your decision. It isn’t something I would have held against the channel. But none the less I appreciate you giving him a fish it made the video that much better

[@raymondhaskins3433]

We used to catch Red Horse which is a very large carp. We would grind up the bones and all. Grinding about 3 times. When we were done we had "Poor Mans Tuna". Was not the best but kept us from starving. Smoked carp is good also. Hind of hard to light.

[@lolalola5391]

At first I thought it was a Carp! I didn't know that there's fish that is called Buffalo. And yes it does look like chicken fries. J you tried so hard to catch the fish. I liked it when COLE said Bless her heart. Cole. Your just an awesome guy always encouraging your wife don't stop. Keep up making more videos.

[@gregkotschwar8287]

Buffalo fish are native to America. Carp are not.

[@lolalola5391]

Cool I love learning new things thanks Mr. Cole.

[@ohtoobefishin6449]

That was a good show, like always

[@jeffreyyenior9757]

I'm not a fan of bow fishing and not using what you shoot either. I teach my grand kids that you don't hurt anything in nature without good reason and when you do, use it. I hunt and release many fish into the frying pan, but killing for no reason is disrespectful in all sorts of ways. Great videos as always. You two are very genuine and natural which makes watching your videos enjoyable.

[@dontheoutdoorsman4013]

Hey you guys caught some nice buffalo down south eat buffalo ribs have to show you how to do it.

[@Derrall79]

Love you guys...Jay was too funny "Dibs"

[@jackparker8686]

Overnight fishing at Saylorville Dam Iowa. Snagged accidentally of course 50 lb Flathead.. guys from across the way ran around to look at it. They said he is going to take it up the hill just showing friend in the car he wants to take a picture.. I kind of sensed.. while a couple guys that waited by me meandered back up the hill talking. Took off with the fish. Never fish overnight by yourself things could have gotten out of hand. I just waved them off as they drove away. Not the first time I've caught 50 lb flat heads snag fishing.

[@enriquemalespin1427]

Those buffalo fish fingers,looking good chef.I wish I had some

[@DungTran1020]

If you mixed carp meat with ground pork and seasoned it and fry it in patties, it’ll go good on burger or with salads.

[@stanford2444]

Buffalo are not carp

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Great vid guys! Glad to see you both catch one of those beasts. Not an easy feat by any means. Those buffalo fries looked great, going to the store to get some fish sticks after watching this.

Buffalo ribs are awesome! Sweeter tasting than catfish.

[@PaleRider54]

Buffalo are the 2nd hardest fish to catch, only second to muskie. Many times you'll get nothing more than a scale on your hook to tell you what it was you got bit by.

[@jwatson6359]

Buffalo fish and chips!

[@65FullMoon83]

BIGMOUTH BUFFALO! Nice Fish! What kind of bait were you using to catch those Bigmouth. They're usually more difficult to catch than Carp or Smallmouth Buffalo because they're plankton feeders mostly.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

We were at first just trying to snag them with jigheads and small trebs that we had in my truck but several of the fish we caught actually here hooked inside of the mouth like they were reaction striking the moving hardware! I’ve caught a lot of buffalo on crappie tubes, worms, and bread!

Eat buffalo all the time, fillet it out, cut the red out, score across the grain & fry it up, the hot out will take care of the little bones
