Soak the paddlefish in buttermilk for a few hours before you cook it.

[@camwinston5248]

Facts !

[@firemedic5100]

That coral snake rod is about the neatest thing I have seen. The paddlefish is an odd looking creature. There are supposidly some in Texas, but I have never seen them.

[@josephwatts8147]

I feel like fish with that tougher texture lends itself to fish soups, stew, and curry’s as they can handle more time cooking

[@Fouremyleofceres]

Excellent point

[@user-fn7gg1pz7m]

Your buddy Dakota did a great job. He just kept hooking those fish, left and right. ❤❤ You did a great job too Cole

[@stevenstroud19]

Bout spit my teeth out knee slapper that's funny brother come on with it YUP. God bless you always from Kansas Christian Concervitive Patriots.

[@danhiggins7798]

The paddles you caught are much smaller than what we catch in Montana. The smallest I've seen are 30 to 40lbs. The biggest I caught was 86lbs, but they get bigger

[@donaldshroyer2329]

Try putting the carp in the smoker when it is done make a butter sauce with garlic and lemon

[@brandonbishop9877]

Ive had paddlefish a few different ways but my favorite is thick steaks smoked low and slow

[@MegaCj65]

I have never seen a paddle fish! Crazy looking beast! 😬

[@bradbell4055]

When your snagging for scale fish take a whetstone and take the needle sharp point off your hooks and will slide in between the scales you won't miss as many fish try to push a hook through a carp scale it works better for suckers too

[@DallionShefferFishing]

I Love being able to watch your videos and know immediately where you are! Arkansas is one of a kind! Your B-Roll is great!

[@graydoncarruth5044]

Buffalo ribs=yummy!👍 And, fyi, you absolutely can catch them on chicken livers on the bottom.

[@mikebartram8424]

I can verify that. Caught a few over the years.

[@josephpecoraro2788]

You and Dakota always seem to have a great time fishing for the big ones you both fish well together quick question do they make a small electric baitcaster for freshwater if they do you would be the guy to set it out on those big kitty cats. Great video guys.

[@stevenstroud19]

Two 7 ought straight J hooks tied back to back and a o ne ounce sinker is all I use.

[@bobbytodd5846]

Love this video Cole. I used to snag at sardis spillway for paddle fish. My wife's favorite fish to eat. Great job. God bless you guys

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Cole. Great video. Always watching and enjoying fishing with yall. God bless and love yall ❤❤

[@want2boutdoors274]

I accidentally snagged a paddle fish on the black river. Taste so good, i cant wait to go get some more on purpose this time. I even caught walleye in the same area. I need to find a video on how to preserve the paddle. Good job Jay and Dakota..

[@Mikel3564]

Considering the American paddlefish is classified as vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List, really surprised you can keep them. In TX It is illegal to catch, kill or harm paddlefish.. Looks like a fun day even though I hate catching carp.

[@randylippert6416]

Great to see you utilizing your resources Cole 👍👍

[@henrykosky3919]

I've heard paddlefish is really good... Never had it

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Some places in Missouri have it on the menu.

[@camwinston5248]

Liked the Asian carp better than the spoonbill...? Hmmm..everyone has a different taste but something is very wrong here..im sure you've seen the comments about a buttermilk marinade an frying it..thats excellent..and also try a brine for it as well..but fix it just like you would do your buffalo ribs or fry any other fish..hot n fast..but in 100% good cornmeal ! It is awesome good and I'm sure y'all will find a great way you and yours would enjoy it. Thanks for a very good video, good work. 😁

[@allenbadgett9966]

Where in from, Kansas City, Missouri, we just call them spoonbill. not spoonbill catfish!

[@joshuadurost4002]

Love this I had ate aisan carp 2 times already and I love it I for sure will be trying to get at some more

[@melvinganoe1175]

That looked like some awesome fun.

[@brettjones220]

Fun !

[@jusnuts1443]

Take the carp, fillet it and put the fillet on a green pine board and bake it at 500 degrees for 6 hours. When done, throw away the carp fillet and eat the pine board.

[@justingulick6747]

It would still have that foul after-taste..😂😂

[@jed1166]

Old joke / cliche… I lived in Asia for 13 years. 75% of the freshwater fish consumed there are carp. Can be delicious! Just depends on the preparation,( like ALL food)…

[@justingulick6747]

@@jed1166 it has a lot to do with the body of water they live in as well.

[@timdienhart3738]

I totally agree with that comment, LOL

[@jed1166]

@@justingulick6747 yep! Most of the live carp in restaurants and markets are living in clean, aerated tanks, with constant inflow of fresh water, so pretty tasty. I lived in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, at the base of the Tibetan Plateau. The carp lived in the clean, cool glacial flow rivers in the Chengdu Basin, and were good. I’m sure if you caught them 1,500 miles downstream, near Shanghai, they wouldn’t have been nearly as good.

[@user-li9nu3ek6f]

I have had canned White Amur, it was spiced with lemmon and herbs. I was really good.

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

I've bow-fished Grass Carp (White Amure) at Caney Creek, Lake Conway years ago. Besides the bones, it's about the BEST Carp I've ever eaten. (YES! It really IS that good...!). Try it fresh with lemon juice, butter, and Dill Seasoning. You just might agree...!

[@jamesbarrow9638]

Living in the panhandle of florida...close to where y'all come fishing in Pensacola, it's getting gigging season and folks will be after red horse suckers....one of the best tasting fish in our rivers. Fun to catch on hook and line too! Just gotta know how to gash em and it'll make you turn your nose up on crappy!

[@mrmilo5203]

Thanks for the awesome content 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@markbass354]

MUCH FUN

[@raygissendanner1476]

Nice one

[@klingonsexy]

Just curious- have you ever tried snagging hooks with a weight built in? If so, do you find that the egg sinker on a trailer line gives better hookups?

[@quintc8219]

That paddle fish is a weird freshwater fish.

[@WesleyDoes_]

You can definitely release any fish you catch back into the water it came out of.

[@camwinston5248]

Sometimes you can't...certain fish, certain areas, check your local regulations. Always.

[@almacobbs4523]

Fun fun day

[@onearmedbandit6936]

Fried is the best way to cook paddlefish

[@TRay-PGH]

do you take the asian carp meat and vacum seal with garlic and anise and use for catfish bait.

[@monfishing]

Wow..good

[@FishingwithROOKE]

Nice

[@troymoody8603]

Love them ribs

[@rickcole2301]

Try marinating it in buttermilk. Put in the refrigerator for a day or so. It might be surprised

[@camwinston5248]

Paddle fish taste better than catfish believe that

I,ve caught several pattle fish with worms

[@reallovechannel1309]

If you snag the Asian carp in Indiana it is a $140 fine lol even though they are invasive lol Indiana will do anything to take your money !!!

[@Retadin]

Some places in IL are no snagging. I get around it, by using a big spoon. It's not snagging if you are using a lure. :)

[@reallovechannel1309]

@@Retadin The dumbest thing I have ever seen lol If you snag an invasive fish you will be fined lol Just ludicrous lol

[@johnhulse6496]

Those paddle fish have been around well over a million years

Buffalo ribs might be my favorite

They are awesome good for sure.

[@davidzellers3537]

Roll it in franks hot sauce then batter with bass pro hot and spicy and paddle fish and Asian carp is good

[@rbartig]

The paddlefish looks like it's starving.

[@camwinston5248]

They do..but they're just built that way, one that weighs 50lbs might be 4ft long.

[@jimmarkiewicz1694]

Why didn’t you show how to clean the paddle fish

[@matthewcroskey3099]

Where is the boss and the kiddies out getting pizza 😂😂😂❤❤

[@user-jn9gv9ve6e]

in michigan if you snag a fish you have to return it.

[@thevoiceman6192]

Which ones were invasive besides the carp?

[@timturner7514]

Can your carp they make good fish cakes

[@johnhoffman8545]

That's a different type of Buffalo then I catch the ones I catch have a smaller mouth and darker color

[@martyhayes7349]

Try fish Pattie’s out of anything questionable

[@mperson1890]

Although I fished a lot with my grandfather, when I was a teenager, there are many things I’ve forgot. Would you please tell me why there’s no bait on the hook? Is it just because of the type of fish you are looking for? Thank you.

[@camwinston5248]

They are using a technique called snagging..and it is snagging, set up for this ,for specific species of fish that will not or can not usually bite a bait.

[@thomasvoeltz4100]

Try smoking the Carp.

[@bobkuhn861]

I thought paddle fish were ENDAGERED?

[@doncertain4128]

You don't have to eat it all.

Those paddles are illegal to catch here in Ohio period. It’s a protected species.

Good video, but not the same without Jay.maybe nextime you stay home,let Jay go by herself,try her luck.Horrah

[@psiloveyouar]

That’s not nice. Have you considered that she may not want to go by herself. I bet they get so tired of stupid comments like this.
