Since I was little, I have always had dreams of moving to Louisiana and living on a swamp. Something about it seemed so mysterious and romantic. Thanks to your videos, I can now have a feel of what it's like. Thank you for your content, and stay Blessed out there. 🙏 - 💚 From Oklahoma

[@datlouisianalife]

Thank you!

I spent time in Altus Oklahoma and omgoshh the dry heat!!! I remember during the hottest time of the day even stores would close up, but I spent most of the day at the lake there... I liked it there too. Met some great people, exchanged my red doberman for a 3lb Chihuahua! She was a trip!!! But no, it's nothing comparable to Louisiana

I moved from New York to Louisiana, yes for a girl. What you going to do. What I learned very early was you guys will eat anything. I live in Lake Charles and I love it. Thirty minutes in almost any direction and I’m fishing. Sometimes less than that. I don’t eat most of it but I love to go out and fish. I give it away but what fun.

[@datlouisianalife]

Yes, we eat pretty much anything or at least try anything. So many places to go fishing and playing out on the water in south Louisiana. Sportsmans paradise for sure. 🎣🎣🎣

I don't understand. I'm from New Orleans, yeah you don't want to take what you ain't goin eat... however, apparently you've never been around hungry folk. As a Catholic in New Orleans, for that matter any ole body living anywhere can see if they ain't blind...there are hungry people...fish ain't goin run out if you catch with pole ...for fuck sake... people are starving in Louisiana and you throw fish back you could fill coolers wit. Come on dude. Share the bounty 😢

[@Leon-ym9qm]

@@drdarbyii Actually I do catch and release. It keeps us being able to fish. However I do give some to those less fortunate than I. Don’t assume because I’m from New York I don’t have a heart. You sound I bit on your high horse. How about you ask before assumptions.
