You have the best relationship with your father. It is always a pleasure when you include him in your videos. Also, it is so refreshing watching someone try something new (here, fried fish roe) and embrace the experience. All too often fishing youtubers fry fish (or just about any wild game) with Frank's Red Hot and think they are being adventurous. I guess I just like that you, LFG, are so open minded.

[@ShaneWest209]

I love when you have LFD on the channel. Lost my dad in 21 miss him deeply. Love seeing you guys having GREAT time. Thanks for the good feeling's my guy.

[@comiketiger]

Oh yeah. They are great. We've had breakfast with fried catfish and bluegills and fried the roe. Along with fried eggs and biscuits. Loved it. God bless all here.

[@bfg5291]

In deep south Alabama, silver and black mullet roe, fried, is a delicacy.

[@kensimpson8581]

I love when you make videos with ole LFD he has a beautiful place.

[@joshwagner8468]

Let's freaking goooo. LFG. Love your channel man and seeing LGD in the vids... 👊

[@TeamHmoobOutdoor]

I am a fisherman/hunter every fish that has it i love them roe of the fish i actually choose those over the fillet but nice catch on then mama crappie but this is i have to pass it up on fishing a little since I got 3 waterfowl Lab retriever and I am learning and doing self training.

[@DF62230]

Appreciate the video. Made me smile after a hard day.

[@texasfan3345]

Glad you brought lfd. Loved the video. Gig em

[@blantondynamics]

🔥 oh and egg roe is great. I catch spawning shad every year and cook up the roe.

[@northern_idaho_railfan]

Sheesh those tanks! Good fishing LFG!

[@calmdownref]

Love me some LFG videos!!! Ohh yaaa brother

[@donaldtruster1064]

This is old school, here in Ozarks, back when we were kids Dad always fried the eggs or roe,bluegill were the best! Along with back tailfin,taterchip!

[@jacobkean03]

I’m also from the ozarks and I’ve never heard of fried roe until my buddy fried some channel cat eggs after we got into a mess of catfish on spring river. I couldn’t believe how good they were.

[@alexriley5330]

I grew up eating the eggs alongside the fillets from the fish i catch to this day! Almost my favorite part! We’d eat them from bluegill, crappie, and the biggest are the white bass eggs

[@benjamingutierrez8974]

Sir, love what you do and the way you have your audience captivated with your comments and jingles. Keep up the good work. I'm originally from South Tx and was raised fishing Falcon Lake. Let me know if and when you would want to fish that lake again or the Lower laguna Madre.

[@Mr.GregJr]

Never a throwaway. Crappie, walleye, perch “sacs” usually fry up the best. 😊 Mm I’m hungry now

[@06triton06]

Love the roe out of bass bream and crappie it's all awesome

[@charliekorabek3846]

Wow I never knew or have ever tried this……good stuff!

[@duckyyyy1439]

heck yeah another lfg crappie video!!!

[@karlarrington5362]

I grew up eating roe and I agree with LFD and his soft hush puppy description is the best I’ve heard. LFG is on the right track with dipping them in hot sauce

[@daffyduck1223]

thumbs up for OSG for trying the fish roe

[@moustafakaid3904]

My favorite part of crappie

[@blantondynamics]

❤❤❤ I can NOT believe how big she has gotten!! I've been watching since way before she was even a peanut in the belly! My 2 girls are growing too fast as well. Almost 2 and almost 7. Hope little Ben is well.

[@AstrixCloud]

Smoked fish roe is so good!, fresh out the smoker with some buttered fresh baked bread hmmmm! Dayum good!

[@fishing4dinner]

Her face when she took the bite…made the video for us! Great job y’all 🤙🏼

[@shaunroberts9361]

LFD Hell Yeah...

[@Lethal1160]

Man, I've never tried the eggs, but I'm gonna have to now that you did. Awesome video per always buddy!

[@curtisgore1611]

Your wife is awesome for playing along

[@cpsencik04]

Smashed it for some family greatness

[@JackRayFishhh]

Went out on Ray Bob with a guide earlier this week and oh boy I had no clue what I was doing for the past 2 years. Livescope is a good tool to use to learn about how different species react to different presentations but I think I still prefer going fishing rather than what my dad called meat catching. Good to mix it up for sure

[@zacksouthern7522]

I love the livescope crappie videos

[@naturalverities]

Fried sunfish eggs are also a treat. So is trout roe, but in that case I recommend spilling the eggs out of the sac, salting and chilling, and eating raw like any other caviar. Delicious!

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

I grew up eating crappie eggs. Loved them. My grandma would coat them in corn meal, and deep fry them up in a cast iron skillet, just like the filets. Haven't had any in many a years though

[@roadendsfishing6416]

Thanks for reminding me about feeding fish eggs to chickens. Finally got chickens again after moving to the country. Gills should be spawning in the next month and a half here in Michigan

[@redspeck]

I just saved my crappie eggs to try, I'll try them soon.

[@Radvous]

What did you think?

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Hmm... Have never tried those. I think you guys get a man card punch for that! LOL

[@andrewmyers3239]

LFD!! LETS GO!

[@mattsailors4773]

OMG - OSG! I laughed so hard when she tried those eggs! My grandpa used to fry them years ago and I have to admit I am with OSG - I will pass on them. Another great crappie video!

[@joelblair8339]

Thanks for trying without the live scope and explaining a good way to find them.

[@jerryyang8174]

Straight up fear factor episode.

[@jeremyeskew1395]

Ohh yeah lfg the G.O.A.T

[@whystop3388]

LFG!!

[@truks1458]

Need more LFD from the DFW!

[@RCL1]

Come on OSG you can do it!!

[@jdub630]

💯👍this is definitely something to try.

[@DelawareOutdoor]

OSG is such a trooper

[@Steve_Balboni]

Does the jigpole add a significant advantage over just a 7ft ultralight? Would like to see you explain that in a video and your thoughts

[@LeeFanguy]

Here in South Louisiana we eat fish eggs all the time from bass, crappie, speckled trout etc. But I slit them open to make them crispier and they don't pop.

[@Roo-tz4xt]

I have thought about trying this so many times after watching my cat munch on the eggs while I’m cleaning crappie and bass. I think I’m gonna man up and give it a try next time I catch a few😁

[@josephwagner9201]

Might give your roe frying a try crappie season is around corner .

[@katfishking]

Im very interested to try an fish eggs myself! I always think about it then pull an osg and get grossed out lol. Love the vids man you and other fishing youtubers have given me the confidence to start uploading my own fishing videos!

[@warofwrath]

Grew up earing them...not gonna specify what species it was, it would probably get nmr ran off lol...

[@Stonehorn]

They are delicious

[@wesshannah-hs3cm]

Lets go LFD!!

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

Same here, complete struggle bus to find them on the bank and I'm not that far north of you. Hopefully I get to go soon.

[@Mike.Jones2]

The best way

[@ryanskidmore-qm3vb]

I used to eat bluegill roe all the time in Kentucky it is good

[@carolinareaper5011]

Crappie, whitebass, striper eggs are the best

[@lophan9125]

Try white bass roe it’s good too

[@philstocks7859]

Been eating panfish eggs for over 70 years. They are delicious. The only bite of panfish I like better is the crispy bite of the tail on whole fried fish.

[@uh60ce1]

It's sorta like a raw oyster 🦪 to me. I'll eat it ...but not my favorite. My dad lived the Bass and even the Bluegill Row. Great vid as always.

[@mikemoore9757]

Crappie eggs are the best! Never eat Gar eggs, however. They are toxic.

[@sgtspurdo3657]

Yeah i heard they are quite mean

[@Stonehorn]

Just never eat gar anything, it’s bad.

[@paulpreston316]

Dang, after all the years of tossing the eggs with the guts and now your dad makes them look delicious! Gonna have to grab the oldest grandson and hit the lakeshore this weekend

[@erfrench87]

So I tried the eggs last week. I thought it was pretty good! I use the Louisiana corn meal base batter and I thought it tasted a little like popcorn.

[@amorton94]

Crappie is whole meal! Main course and sides. Who would have guessed?!

[@nathanmccoy325]

What is that bag you keep the soft plastics in called? I've been looking for something like that.

[@kdeal5522]

The reluctance of osg. Same for me. Hoping you'll try another shallow water crappie vid

[@kendalcobb367]

Love fish, but the eggs are my favorite. My favorite are speckled trout eggs.

[@RogerBankerFishmiser]

Hush Puppies are said to originally be fried fish egg sacs

[@RobertHerronSC]

Is that soft-sided lunchbox style Crappie Mafia soft plastics bag available anywhere? Thanks.

[@joepool7898]

LFD!!!!

[@Andrew-ct2qp]

You’ve gotta just fry the whole fish and try them that way haha!

[@JohnAllen-po5wd]

Just buy her the dang diamond! 😂

[@bbbbreaksttv]

Going for some stripers tomorrow

[@paulfisher1879]

Fantastic video! Your dad is awesome and the ladies in your life are gorgeous!………Ever take a veteran fishing?……I’m available!

[@timevans5159]

Lfg a Kansas record was broken this past weekend with a 4 pound 7oz white crappie

[@kevinliverman9021]

I didn't know you could eat crappie eggs, Ill try too the next time I have a crappie catch and cook,,,,,,,can you eat bass eggs too!

[@Og_DeCoY_dEpLoY]

Poor rackley osg said that could've been your three pounder your cooking up😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rhyscooper6023]

What happened to your guys yearly trip to Canada?

[@Lownslow84]

I feel like Live Scope to the fishing world is what Social Media is to the world. It’s the poison that will slowly kill it. It will never be the same the more people have access and the rules and refs on gamefish will change drastically. Not everyone is ethical in the harvesting of game; enough that the numbers will sustain. They will deplete much faster now. I guess I just feel like it’s one of those things where just because we can doesn’t necessarily mean we should. Just my 2 cents. Awesome video by the way.

[@bankmaster5104]

You should of make a soup with the left over and the egg it'll help out the omega 3 and your stomach to eat and drink k more after a long day of fishing

[@ljackson8220]

what's the water temp? Are you are on Ray Roberts again? Dang nice crappie at 7:20

[@malcolmsoh5648]

lol

[@Radvous]

Definitely not a throwaway, it's my favorite part of the fish.

[@zulumagoo1]

Im here for the caviar

[@dustinhudson933]

I always eat the eggs but white bass eggs are the best believe it or not

[@rlcarver]

Think you owe her a diamond

[@mossybackfishing7387]

Been eating fried fish eggs my entire life I like them better then the fish

[@mattdavis7558]

👍🤙

[@johnprestonii871]

Can crappie be orange or yellow? Anyway I caught some fish from momma’s little plastic water fountain pond and got that row out. I cooked them up the same way you did but I either did something wrong or you like odd stuff Mr @lakeforkguy. Because I was about halfway through the second one when my tummy decided to empty using both doors. While I was trying to clean up, momma came home and boy was she pissed. She kept screaming “you killed my koi” I tried telling her it’s called crappie but that seemed to anger her more. Now I have to sleep in the shed and my tummy is still hurting.

[@michaeljordan3084]

OSP I’m good I’m good I’m good👍🏻

[@DV-ol7vt]

I have fried up channel cat eggs and never liked them.

[@joemiller44444]

Never met a roe I didn't like. Speck roe "crappie". Mullet roe, trout roe, catfish roe... It doesn't matter. Ask lfd if he's ever ate mullet gizzards?

[@christianjimbomb8204]

You then should like Saltwater Shad roe. I couldn't finish it. And I don't plan on wating it unless I would have to. 🤭

[@PhuongMai-tm8fu]

I’m the guy love fish egg salmon egg

[@warofwrath]

Ahem...forgive me i grew up poor lol ..bass roe is amazing....😅 don't kill me.

[@lancebrown1062]

From my experience the smaller females roe eats just as well as the mondos you filleted. I've never come across a fish that didn't have tasty eggs.

[@whystop3388]

Buy OSG a diamond

[@ethanglowacki4119]

put dat on a cracka dood

[@calebprice304]

What’s your favorite crappie recipe

[@texasoutdoors9906]

NOPE NOPE NOPE!!! I have eaten alot of strange things that i have caught or killed but fish eggs aint on the menu. I just havent been that hungry yet I guess.

[@jeremywalters36]

What the fork

[@johnjohnson5933]

We kill um on the snacky swimmer toxic waste!!!
