Creek Fishing For MY LUNCH!! (Cold Weather Fishing)

[@StayFreeRelax]

Having fun is what life's about bro. Thanks for the chill video

[@stevethomas9076]

Great video, I know you have mentioned it before but the kayak and bank trips are more relatable to me (us?). I guess it's because I can picture myself in those situations easier. Anyway thanks for posting so regularly.

[@everette6358]

I kept checking my phone to see if that notifications has pop up yet😂 I wasn’t seeing it. I was getting worried. Thanks for everything Spencer.

[@RiverCertified]

I was a little late today. I appreciate ya sticking around for it dude!

[@TheDetroitman20]

Top notch as always brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

[@rogernull6151]

You can tell it's cold outside when Spencer is wearing boots instead of Crocks!

[@egregiousblunder5395]

Creekin is some of the best fishing you can do, then again I was born and raised in the midwest/south so that was a staple as a kid growing up. Nothing like taking a few poles, some crawlers, cut hotdogs, and a few rooster tails and hitting creeks on a warm summer evening. I do a fair amount of creeking up here in the mountains up until we are froze over chasing little brook trout and other species.

[@pabllam8017]

I've been so down that I have not been keeping up. I fixed that today and ran older videos and the current one. If you recall I'm 75 years old, and got robbed by knife holder. I had on heavy coat so knife didn't get to my skin. Scary stuff. Watching you today was great fun and please be aware you don't have to catch to be fishing. Thank you for bringing joy to my world. Stay safe.

[@billmoss5624]

👍😎✌ Thank you, Spencer. I paused the video to go down and eat Chick-fil-A. Then I'll come back to see you eat fish. Hopefully Saturday I'll get some red fish to eat

[@terrykoch1250]

Started diet last January, Miss the food that I like but lost 75 lbs. and feel much better.

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

I like a weighted slip bobber for fall crappie, takes some tuning for jig weight vs bobber response but I think it enables me to vertically jig a spot a little longer from the bank. Thank you for the consistent uploads, you got a good thing going and I appreciate the work you put into videos for me and the rest of the chuckleheads to enjoy at our leisure.

[@franciscoduran2113]

Was not boring...great video.... envious of your opportunity!!!

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

You do know you could have put that skipjack on the stringer 😂 when you were wishing you had a bucket haha

[@baggers-]

2 tonight I am enjoying this new Spencer trying out stuff ! A good attitude to have

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you get a kick outta it man. The crappies got my number so far, but I'll keep chipping away at em.

[@daltonmorris7852]

In my opinion, you don't have anything to apologize for. The energy in your videos is wonderful guy. We're thankful we get to watch what you make. Being chipper isn't a requirement by any means. 😊

[@jeffnoob8448]

Crappie days are the best days

[@RiverCertified]

Hopefully I'll figure them out a little more and be able to agree haha

[@wtwoods6687]

I’ve said it before, I always learn something while watching your videos.

[@lexwaldez]

Steamed crappie with scallions and ginger with a light garlic soy sauce. You don't have to fry all your fish. =) I'd suggest broiling it, but then I want to dump butter all over it. Thanks for taking us fishing.

[@houserjm11]

Love bank fishing! Great work Spencer!

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍great catch and cook video the scenery was great in the video. The cooking was great. I baked catfish fillets the oven. I put old bay on them garlic powder sometimes onion powder and I open the corner of catfish crispy Louisiana catfish fry and dust them. Just give them a little different look. I bake them at 425 for about 35 to 40 minutes max . And finally got my wife to eat them and it doesn’t smell the house up as bad as when she cooks brussels sprouts I wanna leave😂.

[@bradburke8363]

Dude running threw the gauntlet of the spices is a trip

[@RiverCertified]

😂😂😂

[@RicardoHaruoIriguti]

You owe Woody and Skip a little piece of fish lol. Rice & fish looks like a Brazilian traditional recipe, I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing, man!

[@RiverCertified]

They got some beef and nachos today to make up for it. Thank you as always for watching man!

[@pauldockins9635]

Cold but nice scenery, 🎣thanks as always for sharing.

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dougstiehl3133]

The crappie and fried potatoes looked delicious 😋😋😋🐟🎣along with the rice 🍚

[@PacoAguilar-n3y]

Your videos are great! I wouldn’t change a thing!

[@hippyman9060]

You always have good Videos Spencer

[@davidbigbee3556]

The part with Skip and the sliding glass door was hilarious!!! Great upload brother 🍻

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks, man! Glad you enjoyed it! 😂

[@keithmcclaughry7009]

Sour cream with blackened fish and rice is awesome

[@want2boutdoors274]

Walking and adventuring a creek or smaller river is some of the most humbling fishing you can do. I can't wait to see some more walter videos and cold water fishing. Any news on the release of that smokey chicken plastic color?

[@jimharbison7589]

A crappie day turns out a happy meal, thanks for the trip Spencer keep them coming, if you want to climb a mountain come out to Montana and climb one to a lake and fish

[@briangamber6051]

Hey Spencer when the season is right you should fry up some crappie and some morels. Add some home made mac and cheese and you have a true feast

[@RiverCertified]

Now my mouth is watering haha

[@Fishingwithmayor]

This is my favorite spring time dish along with some young wild asparagus spouts but I think winter time and fall crappie fishing is my favorite and instead of morels I have hen of the woods or oyster mushrooms...

[@briangamber6051]

@ where I’m from in Missouri my family and I know where to find asparagus on the side of gravel roads. I like oyster shells and hens also but let me shake it up more. Instead of crappie cook up some spoonbill (paddlefish) with some early season morels. Would love to see Spencer reel in some spoonbill.

[@Fishingwithmayor]

@briangamber6051 yeah I like some paddle fish on the grill but my favorite on the grill would have to striper wipers and whites are pretty good fried when cleaned right but them big stipers are amazing grilled or blackened.. I recently put two big shoulder chunks on my fathers pellet grill after they was done I put some ghost pepper mozzarella on them and put them back in the smoke for a few mins to melt cheese and ad smoke to the cheese.. let me tell you ! It was as good as anything I've ever eat..

[@jake.the.snake924]

You are my favorite fishing show that I watch now bud, keep up the good work and I'll go fishing with you soon.

[@RiverCertified]

That's super kind of you to say man, I appreciate the support.

[@robertwilliamson6958]

Steep section is just an outdoorsman’s stairmaster when combined with a better diet. 😂

🤣🤣🤣

[@pedrocruz4710]

Looks awesome man!

[@kellyhill4410]

Hey Spencer thanks for the video. It's getting cold out there on the river

[@RiverCertified]

You aint wrong Kelly. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@pigsandapples]

Another cool video. Really enjoyed it. Hey - laid back/slightly tired Spencer is no problem at all from this side of the screen. Thanks man!

[@jimkasak4300]

One and only time I tried making blackened fish (Freshwater Drum). Smoke from the hot pan caused the alarm to go off and my home security company called the FD for me. That was embarrassing having them show up. But the fish turned out amazing.

[@mikezinkhon6328]

Call crappies are similar to in the spring try using a cigar style peg float with the same jig n plastic you will see more success!

[@jrbankfishing.1986]

Look’s good!

[@ShaunPadgham]

Switch to Lite Beer. Problem Solve .....

[@codybertram6122]

You should fish the driftless area some time. Upper Iowa river has some great brown trout and walleye fishing. They are talking about removing the upper and lower dams east of decorah and if you’ve never been up there it would blow your mind how they got that lower dam built out in the middle of nowhere. Waterloo creek has great numbers of trout as well as bear creek. Truly one of iowas hidden gems.

[@RiverCertified]

I've been there a handful of times. It's absolutely gorgeous. You're right, I definitely need to get back.

[@jimbow2928]

What’s that about Work? It’s a better day fishing than being at work.🎣🐟🐠

[@pstonedawg9576]

Fine eating fish them Crappie , I cheat and use shiner minnows !!🤣 Tight Lines Captain Spencer 🐟🐟🐟

[@jake.the.snake924]

Thank you for sharing, your awsome😂

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate you watching! 😄

[@chrisellis935]

I've been waiting for you to give back to the creek

[@RiverCertified]

It's hard for me to stay away too long

[@chrisellis935]

@RiverCertified I try not to miss any of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to respond back at me, means a great deal to me

[@ericallison4494]

Dude, i caught my new PB Crappie last Monday on Lake Cumberland in KY. 17 1/4" Black Crappie. Big ol slab.

[@Retiredcop052]

Spencer ….. That was a very relaxing video. I like the catch and cook videos too. FYI definitely healthier to use olive or extra virgin oil when cooking. The meal you made was balanced, both protein and carbs. Just stay away from sugars ie. soda or do they call soda pop in your area. Beer? lol can’t help you there…. 🍻🍻🍻🍻 Again, great video and I appreciate all the work and editing you do. Dan 👮🏻‍♂️

[@RiverCertified]

Appreciate the advice, Dan!

[@KunesRGr8]

Hello 👋 Spencer, crappie, 💩ie, whatever, in Louisiana the French term is Sac au Lait and whatever you call them, they are delicious however you cook them 👍💪🙌🙏🌈✌️

[@Fishingwithmayor]

I shot up some 3" curl tails in amber with gold and copper flake we hammered some sauger and crappie below ky dam.. nothing like a good crappie thump..

[@craiggolden6674]

I enjoy your videos, first time I have watched you on my phone, I bought two Bait casters haven’t had a chance to learn how to use them yet. Hello from Sterling IL.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks for watching. I hope you can get out and get the chance to figure them out soon!

[@BrentGarcia-vb7dx]

I grew up crappie fishing Spenc. When they won't hit most of the time if you change colors it will help. Crappie are wierd like that. I love using 1/8 or 1/16 pink jigheads with a small curly tail or Bobby garland. I also have some crappie jigs that have different color heads with like the thin shiny or sparkling nylon or whatever skirts. Sometimes I'll throw a curly tail on one of those. Usually can catch at least enough for bait or food if not limit out or better. Maybe if you're ever in Indiana we can hit a big reservoir that has slab crappie, monster flatheads, and some huge blues if u can find them.

[@RiverCertified]

I really appreciate the tips. I have a lot to learn with the crappies.

[@BrentGarcia-vb7dx]

@RiverCertified My favorite freshwater fish by far.. Reminds me of roughy or snapper

[@217rebeloutdoors5]

Great video you have to be part mountain goat half the time going after crappie from the bank keep it up and keep those lines tight

[@frickschunnoutdoors304]

i do love some fried crappie. blackened is pretty good too. i tried this cajun boil thing with crawdads one time inside. dont do that. lol. had to evacuate the house and open windows and doors in Januarys frigid temps. good video man. having a break from the cat vids once in a while is a good thing. maybe a few more crappie in the next vid tho lol

[@LockedUpLarry]

lol. I made a meatloaf recipe once and it called for 3 tablespoons of mustard. I assumed it meant ground mustard spice. BOY WAS I WRONG. The house became toxic. lol.

[@beverlycurry4370]

You ever watch 903 fishing. This guy only fishes for crappie ❤

[@JoshuaFinke]

Blackened craps are good as long as you not wear a Cubs cap

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

My cabinets have 4 sections, condiments, flours, cereals, and seasonings. And I never can find what seasoning I want on the first try lol organizing them doesn’t help any either. Kinda makes it worse lol

[@djbarker2536]

You ever get a chance to fish near southern Indiana definitely should give the green river a fishing trip.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks for the suggestion man.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

My wife likes to remind me often that potatoes are not a vegetable… they’re a starch. Ok hon… appreciate the input.

[@randylippert6416]

Guys godda recharge every now and then, enjoyed the video Spencer 👍👍

[@RiverCertified]

I definitely run outta steam after a while. Glad you enjoyed this one Randy.

[@paulrenier1550]

It’s the hat man ! Fish bite better if you wear a brewers cap

[@alanwinge8775]

Cheese burgers are healthy with French fries & a beer

[@AKFish2023]

Rice and fried potatoes are not the best sides if you're trying to drop a few pounds. One starch is plenty for any meal!! But the crappie looked good...

[@billcotton1551]

I would prefer blackened fish, over fried anytime. Can you eat the skips, or are they too bony?

[@jeffbelcher4646]

Creek? Illinois we call em crick. Great vid buddy just ribbin ya a bit.

[@Jo-JoGro]

Ive caught over 100 crappie the past 2 weeks. Frying some up while watching lmao. Wasnt getting a bite til i switched to minnows

[@RiverCertified]

Rub it in haha

[@Jo-JoGro]

Lol just got lucky i got access to a small pond this yr and the owners want me and my brother to keep everything we catch mostbof the white crappie are 9.5 inches bass are max 14 in most are 12 in and bluegill are max 5 in. They said its been minimum 6 yrs since its been fished lol. I suck at crappie fishing

[@violentdawg]

2 days late... But I made it! Best taters in the world are the little reds, gotta leave that skin on! Also it's at the point where it's cold outside for me and "freezing death" for my wife. Going to have to get me a River Certified beanie and put the hat on the rack 😂 Edit: Love the shirt! He's such a cool guy to watch also!

[@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs]

Chocolate is technically a berry....😊

[@RiverCertified]

Haha I can get behind that

[@CuriousOne31]

Next time try some fresh crushed (or minced) garlic on or with your fried fish, if you haven’t already!

[@RiverCertified]

I bet that's good. I love Garlic on pretty much everything but ice cream haha

[@CuriousOne31]

@ I’m afraid you’ll never eat fish without it again!

[@alanwinge8775]

Don't forget to eat cheese burgers or gravy because those are two of the basic food groups.

[@alanwinge8775]

Gravy is very important this time of year & it is good on potatoes & other vegetables. Don't get a gravy deficiency in your diet.

[@bertog-2023]

You should look at "Richard Gene The Fishing Machine" crappie fishing advice

[@daledenstedt6369]

How you doing today, you're the best guy I never met bro 😂

Hopefully pheasants are healthy

[@rogercoyne7429]

Crappie all year round where I go

[@RiverCertified]

They're biting somewhere here, I just gotta figure it out

[@garydenton2048]

Doesn't look like much of a current either way. And I'm entidaled to my opinion. 🙃

[@rogercoyne7429]

Try 1/16 oz jig head for crappie

[@RiverCertified]

I was

[@rogercoyne7429]

@ I thought you said a 1/8 oz jig head in the video my mistake

[@Fishingwithmayor]

You must still be down south bama or Georgia

[@JoshuaFinke]

I would have had two buckets

Do you check the forever chemical levels in these bodies of water you eat from? You eat a lot of fresh water fish…. Hope you are watching the levels. Love the videos btw!
