DELICIOUS! Catch from Small Mountain Lake

Went out on a rainy day after Christmas to find some Yellow Perch. I took my little boat with the ‪@EpropulsionHk‬ motor on it. 1 year review of the epropulsion evo tiller 3hp battery power motor.

John, thanks for this video. It brings back memories of me and my late son fishing. We fished a lake in Gloucester VA. We used to slay the crappie, but every now and again we were surprised with a few yellow perch in the bag. They were good eating. Like you, he loved to explore new fishing areas. He lived the latter part of his life in CO and would always share the adventures and tell me that next time I made it out, he would take me. It never happened. I am sure we will go fishing in heaven together when the Lord says my job here is done.

[@numbthumbhero8529]

I love how real and honest your videos still are John. Showing things like rain dropping in the oil and food, forgetting the plate. It is the exact kind of thing we all do. Forget this or that, make do, still have a blast. You have the best channel on KZbin dude.

[@johnwhite993]

That was a super fun trip John. Thanks for bringing us along

[@davidschreiner6667]

When I was a kid we always got yellow perch dinners on Friday night. Those are absolutely the best eating fish ever. Wish I could fish for them now I'd like to taste those wonderful fish and remember my family.

[@stephenballard3759]

What stopping you? Perch are still so common. My 84 year old dad is still fishing...

[@CC_Marauder]

Fish...🤮 C&R or give away to others if I cannot safely release them.

[@davidschreiner6667]

I've been in a wheel chair for almost 20 years. I don't get out much@@stephenballard3759

[@jimfenstermaker400]

That is the way to do it. Some nice perch fried fresh. Nothing better!

[@mikeboyce584]

One of the best eaten fish There are. Great flavor Easy to fix. Usually When you get on them, they're plentiful. You're dedicated man to be fishing in the rain then cooking in the rain. Great video john love the catch and cook. Like the little boat you got to. Something I think I could do. Especially with the motor. Have a happy and safe New Year.

[@brooksikev]

Yellow perch are some of the best eating ever! Love your channel!

[@wessheffield1415]

I’m glad you like the epropulsion motor. Wish I had one. Gotta save up to invest in one. Keep up the good work on the videos!!

[@jamalregis190]

Dat oil with rain is sketchy lol good video, I stopped a movie when I saw the notification ❤❤❤

[@dragchute1]

During the late 50s through the 60s I fished the St Lawrence River between New York State and Ontario, Canada with my dad. At the time the daily limit was 35 perch/person with no limit on the freezer possession. We could limit out with cane poles in an hour! Sadly there was a lot of abuse and that productivity was gone by the end of the 70s. Filleting 70 perch took a lot longer than catching them but they sure tasted great. Bon appetit.

[@robstone1489]

Cooking in the rain and eating fresh fish out of an old hot dog container. Doesn’t get any better than that. ❤❤

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

living the dream

[@michaeldabbs5830]

Props to you buddy! Cooking in the rain! Trooper!

[@williambenner701]

I think this is the first time I have seen you keep fish. Pretty refreshing actually! Great video!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

You turned a messy day into a productive fun day, it helps to have the right equipment to make that happen, I know that fish was super good, now that's what you call fresh fish!😁

[@bobbieandrews5359]

I enjoy all of your videos but this was really fun! I thought I was the only one who loves to eat yellow perch! Perch in our area, Clarks Hill Lake (SC/GA), are usually small but they provide a very tasty bite of food. I don't fish any more but I do enjoy watching you! Thank you for sharing your experiences! Loved the Florida trip!

[@dw6506]

I have said you should get you a woman from church who likes fish to cook you up a mess but look at you now catching, cooking and doing fine. John you look good and it seems that you are happy. Thank you for the years of entertainment you have been a good friend even though we haven’t meet. I hope 2024 gets you to 500,000 subscribers

[@geralddean5083]

I like this comment

[@bartbuskey238]

Maybe he should get himself a good Christian lady to fish for and cook for.

[@Jczubs41]

But then he wouldn’t have as much time to fish 😉😂

[@bartbuskey238]

@joshuaczubkowski241 unless she fishes too.

[@larryarevalo4518]

No way John !!! Dont buy the farm ! …… just hold your horse !! Hahaha

[@scottfrey2710]

John Dalton: The King of turning a gloomy day into a great day!! Thanks for taking us along again! Happy New Year & God Bless! :-)

[@stevehogan8829]

Thanks John, Can;t imagine that was the most enjoyable meal you ever ate. Nict perch catch.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Those yellow perch are soooooooo cool!!!! Wish we had them here in Nashville area

[@raleighthomas3079]

Great trip and video John. Glad you had a good Christmas with family. Gloomy and cold rain in Fla. right now too. A suggestion to keep in your truck is one of those pop-up canopies in case of rain. Cook away and stay dry! God Bless and Happy New Year!

[@RhYn0n]

Great little catch and cook! Happy new year!

[@timimhoff8297]

Talk about good eating, nothing could beat creek side cooking of fresh catch. Looked fantastic.......

[@stevenpryor5724]

I have a bass raider and I love what you’re doing. That kind of thing is so much fun. Being in His creation. Bless you brother and keep the videos coming. I love them.

[@alciao3441]

Looks and smells good, John. Happy new year!

[@mudduck1786]

John, great show as always. When filleting those fish, cut all the way down to the tail but not through. Leave it attached and flip the filet over and let the tail piece hold on while you take the skin off. Super helpful. Again, we love your content

[@pipeman124]

Love catching perch they are a very unique species

[@jayhuber1744]

Great video as always. I appreciate how you try different things so your channel doesn’t become stale. Looking forward to your 2024 adventures!

[@stephencoyner4254]

Thats one busy road! I used to fish yellow perch in Michigan while visiting my grandparents.

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

Hot grease and rain doesn’t mix very well. Glad it worked out for you. Looked good 👍

[@user-jn2wx7db1c]

That’s a nice small pond set-up for sure.

[@dwaynefowler7093]

what a way to start a new year that was veary Enjoyble hop you had a very merry xmas hpoe you have aveary blessed going in the new year

[@GeofJohnson-xb9ux]

That’s dedication. Catch n cook in the rain

[@dwhitt164]

Merry Christmas I am going stir crazy. Recovering from shoulder surgery and whole family has Covid. We still have not celebrated Christmas but Christ is in all we do. Thanks for the video.

[@savvasefsef]

Except the rain, really nice!!! Next step take the kids out in a sunny day catch and cook! Happy new year!!!

[@TheGuntoter]

No stringer, no plate, cooking in the rain. You really didn't think this thing thur, did you John. Better make a list in future cooking outings. LOL. I bet that fish was delicious.

[@tannerwi]

Great video. Nice cameo by the First State Fishing Static seasoning!

[@wallacebell4311]

You need to take some time and make detailed check lists for your different fishing adventures. Having a stringer for keeping the fish fresh is kinda important. Having a life jacket is also kinda important, especially when you are by yourself in an isolated area.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i live so randomly

[@ri-jm5tn]

I rarely keep fish to eat, but a pile of tasty yellow perch is hard to resist😋. Try coating them with Autry seafood breader and frying in bacon fat, so good!

[@bustinfins]

That looked really good. Can’t beat fresh caught fish .

[@1Cast1Fish]

Love some Yellow Perch, great eating fish IMO

[@timwaldroup9654]

That's a good day bubba...

[@Invisibleindreamsonly]

Another great video keep up the great posts

[@tylerpalmer8973]

I saw your insta posts of the perch earlier. Was waiting for this video! I used to catch perch all the time where I am but I have caught very few in recent years.

[@thebowyerman]

Yellow perch and walleye are the best eating imo.

[@dylanmcclintic6084]

More catch n cooks happy new year love the vids

[@brodiedavisalmostprimitive1262]

Enjoyed!

[@timlacy2284]

John, Thanks for sharing and taking me along. I remember catching Yellow Perch in West Sandy off the Big Sandy River in 1989 its part of Tennessee River/Kentucky Lake in West Tennessee and they said we didn't have Yellow Perch in our waters then . But we do now . I used to fished 12 months a year. God Bless You and Happy New Years , May God's Blessings Shine On You In 2024.

[@chrismundy4054]

Hope you had a blessed Christmas Jon!

[@maryannegreenslade78]

That food looked really good, hope you had a Merry Christmas as well🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@bluesdad54]

Dude, its only horrible conditions if you let it spoil your trip. What a lot of fun and no fish can taste better than being cooked right after you catch them. Thanks for taking me along.

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Great catch and cook. I like a good Cajun seasoning.

[@mikec9606]

Happy new year John can't wait to see what you have planned for next year!!!🎣

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks man

[@steveburlingame1935]

I love yellow perch also look cool in the fish tank

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats a good idea for a tank

[@user-mj6lap17]

Hello John, you really looks nice in black, but you have a wonderful time today, I have to leave and go to Church you be bless

[@BJHendrix]

That lake you are fishing is called "Power house #2 dam. The dam channels water to Power House #2, by the flume line that runs down the Ocoee River.

[@nicklesfamilyadventure]

That’s dedication in the rain! Keep it up!

[@user-jn2wx7db1c]

Best way to eat. I’d love it, rain or not

[@jaredyork5166]

Cool CCC video. Nice to see you catch a smallie too. Fish on.😊

[@TheGuntoter]

Thanks!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

wow thanks for that

[@jbpipes9551]

Good catching! I bet they would have been fun on a fly rod and a small Clouser minnow.

[@PizzaShrimp]

great video! yellow perch are a blast to snag up outta the water this time of year, they love the mule minnow!

[@DirtRoadGroceryStore]

You can skin a yellow perch like a catfish. Skinning those that size is much faster. The meat comes off in slabs like filllets and you get much more meat per perch.

[@robmetcalfe8902]

You just did what I love to do shore cooking

[@judithkennedy2011]

Happy new year John!

[@mauricecarvin430]

Been watching you for years and you're content is amazing

[@chrisshaw4228]

Live in Wisconsin , perch fish a lot. Perch seem to move around as a school , you have to move with them or wait till they come back ! I personaly scale the perch , the skin frys up so crispy and tastes delicious. E njoyed the video !!

[@Jczubs41]

Awesome video John! I have really been enjoying all your videos. Looking forward to warmer weather here up north. Tight lines!!

[@LanaLaughsRealLoud]

That misty foggy cloud is the substance for the title of the National Park Service naming a specific part of the Southern part of the Appalachian Mountains the Great Smoky Mountain's National Park. ❤😊

[@media1groupDC]

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Blessed safe and prosperous NY John to you and all your followers. Keep rock'in an blowing up brother!

[@beverlycurry4370]

Happy new year 🎉

[@RobC9562]

Enjoyed the video. Yes, look out for them bones!

[@rockycontreras6145]

Love your videos by the way my son turned me onto your channel while back your videos kinda inspired me to get back to fishing after long time not so thanks and God bless you

[@Mike_Just_Mike]

Great vid. I like your tourny vids. Stiil, it's good to see the no pressure just having fun stuff too. I just retired at the end of June and took up fishing again. Thanks in big part to you and that mule guy, ive been pond and creek hopping. Come Spring, I'll be exploring Hines Park in Michigan. Goggle it and tekk me it ain't a urban fishing paridise. Thanks for the inspiration and insight.😊

[@petekeener8943]

And a wonderful belated blessed merry Christmas to you and now, a wonderful new year !! Lot's of good fishing in the new year!!

[@user-jn2wx7db1c]

I’m sure the fish will be delicious on a day like this.

[@JAXfishingg]

Happy new years! i wish i had nice rivers and deep creeks around where i live in eastern PA. thank you for making me happy all year!❄️

[@johncampbell2060]

Happy New Year

[@jondo4210]

That's the way to do it, man! Catch and Cook ftw!

[@thoesrey3486]

U and firststate should make a video collab!! Enjoy watching the both of yal

[@reelcoastal]

Great video! Thanks for sharing with us❤️🎣

[@jeffhawkins1191]

The ole gas station hot dog tray good find in the floorboard

[@brianathern9154]

Thanks for sharing brother man and taking us along. I do love some good fresh perch. I don't eat much but yes fish are food, delicious no doubt that comes as a privilege when you buy a license. In order it's perch crappie walleye trout or salmon and cold river catfish when I take some. Got a few plans for my bass raider...it needs to get out more. Have a safe Happy New Year John. Hopefully more blessings in 2024 for you

[@josephkerley363]

Looks quite tasty! Glad your Christmas was blessed have a fun but safe New Year ... Seeya next year!

[@Crussman499]

I remember catching some monster yellow perch at some lakes near where my parents live last fall.

[@brentreynolds5381]

Love the perch vids. Great job

[@EstebanSevilla-y3y]

Awesome channels

[@michaelcarey5981]

Living in the Great Lakes area, yellow perch really common, 2nd best eating fish next to walleye

[@RandyHaught-u9z]

Great year John, if you ever make it up to Maryland check out our snakehead fishing, you'll have a hoot.

[@patrickhartman6818]

Love the video, im fixing up a pellican 8 ft myself. Puting sunkin pole holders in next.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

nice

[@JD-HALL]

We love our perch up here in the mitten.

[@jeffnelson9420]

Atta boy, that's what I'm talking about. Relocate them fish to Crisco Lake. Stay safe and have a Blessed, Healthy, Happy New Year.

[@johnnypurkey7545]

This is my kind of video John thumbs up 👍

[@stephenballard3759]

Always funny to me how a 9 inch perch is so small it's almost annoying, but a 10" perch is pretty good.

[@MO-vr1jg]

Release to the grease..well done.

[@j.j.savalle4714]

Hard to beat a fresh caught perch dinner! Happy New Year John!

[@milanradojkovic3818]

I LOVE perch fishing and can watch this whole day! Our European perch is a lot bigger (biggest are about 6- 7 lbs), but the average size is about the same as yellow perch (8- 10oz). That fish is so fun, and sometimes not so easy to catch. But it's a beautiful, great fall and winter fish... Happy holidays!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i have always wanted to go catch the European perch, maybe some day

[@milanradojkovic3818]

@CreekFishingAdventures why not? Per example- you have a lot of UL youtubers in England, you can be their guest, later they can be your guests. Collaboration is the key. Fishing connecting people 😁 Treat yourself when you reach 200,000 subscribers 😃

[@bobbyjohnson4734]

I hope you had a great Christmas your self my friend!!!!

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Awesome video man

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks buddy

[@rogerboling3076]

I have been watching your channel for years now and had no clue you owned a bass raider 10E. I own the same boat would love to see more videos of you fishing from it.

[@rogerboling3076]

Note( I love your videos either way)

[@tygaurd]

I absolutely hate to be that guy but how much are these little boats ? I’m thinking if it’s not to expensive it may be the way to go for my area

[@rogerboling3076]

Think it's around 1000 for bare boat now as it became more popular. But when I got it, it was only 600.

[@tygaurd]

@@rogerboling3076 ok thank you for the response

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i really should use it more

[@Budget.bass.fishing]

Just bought me one of these boats still have my kayak but I wanted something bigger more stable picked up one of these boats cheaper than I paid for my kayak with a trolling motor came with it a nice minn kota 55 I’m excited to get it out on the water .
