[@jifigz]

This is quite possibly the most uplifting channel on KZbin.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Joshua! Aw, you're too kind! Thanks so much for watching my videos and leaving the nice comment my friend!

[@msgypsyqueen]

“A cup and a half of Tabasco Sauce..” .. LOL!! 😂 You NEVER disappoint!! 😉👍🤓❤️

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Miss Blue!! Hahaha! You're so nice! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@angelasheppard7197]

I was saying the same thing...my reaction was so big my husband heard and had to come see what I was laughing about...😂🤣

[@hammerheadfred5403]

Oh the faces you make while the lovely Ms. Cheeks is sharing her recipe review is priceless!! My wife and I were laughing out loud the entire time. You've got a heart of gold, my friend. Thank you for another entertaining and awesome video. We both enjoyed it so much...as usual.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Fred! I can't help myself! I'm overjoyed when she gives my food a good review! If only I could win her hand in marriage though! 😜 Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend! All the best to you and your dear wife!

[@angelasheppard7197]

Totally agree . I was watching her expression and looked over and saw the goofiness. So fun.

[@bradyschwartz6303]

Hi john, the dinner looked very good and I got to try putting fish in it. You were so close with Lulu, I thought she was going to say yes. Congrats on that big one, you haven't caught one that big in awhile.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Brad! The big fish was fun! I wish it had weighed more though! A few weeks ago, a huge one, much bigger got away. But I need to get one that big IN THE BOAT! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@theldun1]

I have been diabetic for over 20 years and I want to thank you for sharing all your diabetic friendly recipes.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi theldun! I don't analyze the ingredients to give the exact carb counts, but overall, I'm sure they're a lot lower in carbs than regular recipes. If I can help you at all, I'm beyond honored! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@kater4052]

Hi, I'm a 66 y/o retired nurse who loves to fish and cook and eats Atkins' low carb. I love your channel. Even my girlfriend who hates all fishing and eating fish loves your channel. When my other girlfriend and I would go fishing, our DHs would go shopping. WTF!!! . We all love your channel and wish our DHs were a bit more like you. But, I am finally, after 45 years, getting my DH into fishing - yeah!!! Keep the vids coming.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Kate! Oh, you're too kind! I try to make the fishing part tolerable to those who don't care much for fishing, so your comment gladdens my heart! Maybe it's a good thing that you see me only in these videos, because I can be downright annoying. Just ask Ms. Lulu! LOL! Thanks so much for watching my videos! Thanks even more for taking the time to leave the kind comment my friend! Get your DH out to the lake. Summer goes by too quickly! All the best to you and yours!

[@kater4052]

@@Juanelo1946 Yes, we just bought a used Kingfisher 15'6" fishing boat. It's lake ready and has both 70 hp motor and a trolling motor and live well. Have had it out a couple of times already. The darn thing is, now that DH is fishing, he's not only catching more than me, but the biggest ones too!! We fish for sunfish, crappie, bass and catfish. They are all plentiful in Lake Palestine where we live in northeast Texas. We watch your videos just about every day. Taught lines and blue skies my friend.

[@Juanelo1946]

Wow! What a very nice boat! I wish I could give you fishing advice but it already sounds as if you know as much about fishing as I do. Lake Palestine sounds like a little piece of paradise! I wish you many many years of great boating, fishing, catching and cooking my friend! Tight lines!

[@audiemcknight560]

Wow what a nice day of fishing glad to see you were catching some big bass this time you been working so hard to get one once again thanks for making our day with some great videos Happy Father's Day

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Audie! I was actually having trouble catching the small bass that I needed for the recipe; the ones I'm supposed to cull. But the bluegill came through to fill the void! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend! Happy Father's Day to you too!

[@dianakincaid2228]

Oh mighty fisherman, how humble thou art! lol Another great recipe. Looks yummy. LuLu, you know "Nice" . He is lovely. Hugs to you both.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Diana! Oh this jambalaya was just delicious, but it was pure luck! I hit on a good recipe. Ms. Lulu is THE Nice One for me, and she knows it! She'll come around! 😁 Thanks loads for stopping by and leaving the nice comment my dear friend! Big hugs from us to you! 🤗

[@marktwibell9303]

Hey Juanelo! What a great episode! Great to see the productive fishing you had on lake K. I'm amazed on how big the bass, bluegill and crappie are in lake K. Looks like you caught a 49" crappie😂. A new state record!! The recipe for Jumbelia looks wonderful and Laurie and I will give it a try! Oh, you got Ms Lulu to laugh. I think she realized how serious you were about marrying her! I hope you had a great father's day! Wishing you and Ms Lulu a great week. Mark

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Mark! You know, I was having trouble catching the smaller bass that I needed for this recipe; the ones I'm supposed to cull. Luckily the bluegill showed up to fill the void. Wasn't that state record crappie a beauty? I'm glad I got it on camera for all to see! You're my witness! Seeing is believing, as you know! LOL! Please try this recipe! I was so lucky to stumble upon it. It's one of the best ever! You and Laurie would love it! Ms. Lulu put me off my marriage bid this time, but she won't be able to resist me much longer. She's coming around, I can fell it! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend! All the best to you and Laurie!

[@RuffCut]

don't ever know what you will catch on Lake Ketchabigwon! Great fishing and Ms. Lulu loved the jambalaya! I always look forward to seeing yall together and your expressions are hilarious! Good luck finding a bride ol buddy!!!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Duke! This Jambalaya recipe was one of the best I've ever stumbled upon! I can't wait to make it again. If you got bludgeoned by Ms. Lulu's zingers every week, you'd make funny expressions too! 😉 Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend! Ms. Lulu reminded me just now to wish you a Happy Father's Day!

[@RuffCut]

@@Juanelo1946 That is great and Thank You...Happy Fathers Day to you...Love my dear friends in Ohio

[@whodatphoenix9659]

Yea I’m from Baton Rouge, and I have eaten jambalaya for most of my life.. I have never heard of fish in jambalaya. But you make it look so good! Keep up the good work my friend!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi 77! I dont think there is such a thing as fish Jambalaya! LOL! You, being from Baton Rouge, would know best! But I found a low carb recipe with chicken and shrimp. I left out the chicken, but substituted an equal amount of fish. I put the fish and shrimp in together, since they take the same (short) time to cook. It worked! This tasted great!! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@headchefmomkendalllawrence693]

I love how responsible you are. Amazing recipe!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Kendall! Aww, Ms. Lulu thinks I'm kind of irresponsible! LOL! this is one of the best recipes I was ever fortunate enough to stumble upon! I can't wait to make jambalaya again! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my dear friend!

[@mikecha1957]

How much fun is catching bass on a buzz bait?? Fun fun fun...OOOPS too big I have to put it back. The Jambalaya oh my goodness that looked fantastic...Even with phoney Baloony rice. I know that was awesome...Love the Zydeco music too...It's always a great time visiting with you my great friend...Until next time take care and stay safe...

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Mike! You know what kind of fun it is to catch bass on a buzzbait! You've caught enough that way! You get to watch the hit, and that gives a thrill every time! I had a hard time catching the small bass I needed for this recipe; the ones I'm supposed to cull. So I had to fill the void with bluegill. It worked! The Jambalaya was one of the best recipes I've hit upon yet! You got to have zydeco playing Cajun music with Jambalaya! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@luxurytentcamping]

Yum! I might have to try this one!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Nate! I highly recommend this jambalaya recipe. It's easy and delish! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@Booger500us]

Man oh man Juanelo you are killing me with those big Bass...I think it's such an awesome catch but I know you gotta throw them back in but wow are they fun to catch eh..flipping up over the water...fun stuff! I just did a cook with some bass I caught and it gives me a chance to put a picture of the biggun I caught that I have been wanting to show ya. I catch fish all the time..Tom says it's cause i'm one of those weird fishin pole holders..I hold it with eyes up ..but it works lol. You've managed to make Jambalaya with Fresh caught fish and Faux Rice...just beautiful! Lulu Cheeks is coming around I just know it!!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Booger! I actually had a hard time catching the smaller bass that I needed for the recipe, the ones I'm supposed to get out of the lake. I had to fill the void with bluegill! • What? You caught and cooked some bass and you didn't post the video? It's the way you hold your pole! You have to show this in a video someday SOON! I wanna see you fishing, so I can learn your technique! This Jambalaya recipe is a keeper, and I can't wait to make it again! She's warming up to me... look at that love in her eyes! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my dear friend! Much love to you all from us all!

[@tylerthomas3615]

I know a ty guy you have a ty man, hey i even know how to tie one of those things lmao!! You have poerfected the fish sink flip! It could be a dance! If only I could fit in the sink! You know that rain you had awhile back? Now it's coming this way! We are supposed to get rain next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! That sucks! Work might be called off!!! I'll have to find other things to do!! That fake rice is awesome!! I did everything with it back in the day!! put it in burritos, soups, made Spanish rice, fried rice, sueshi You can do anything with it! Tastes good too!!! That jambalaya really did look like a fragrant, beautiful bouquet of flavor, great job tyman!! And compliments to the chef of course!! Since you have had Miss LuLu on the line for so long maybe it's time to wow her with a bobber (bauble) lol ;p

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Ty! You're the original Ty! The one and only Ty guy! I have to try to see how high you can flip the fish skin and still land it in the sink. It becomes a game of skill that I often lose. 😆 Yes, it does sound like a new dance, the fish sink flip! Haha! Yes, the rain here has been a daily event, relentless rain; and more is coming. I sure hope you don't get anything near what we've been getting! You need to keep working, and making lots of mullah! Of course rain days have some advantages for you, don't they? I bet they do! • Oh yeah, the bogus rice! It was great this way, roasted in the oven. But you know all ways of making it. I'd love to know how exactly you made sushi with it. Your "rice" came out so white! Cream cheese is added to it for sure, but after that, I dunno what you did. • This jambalaya was awesome, I have to humbly admit. Out of hundreds of recipes I've tried over the years, this one is at or very near the top of the list. Ty man pointed the way, and I just fiddled with the recipe a bit to eliminate the chicken thighs and instead load it up with fish. • I don't think Ms. Lulu would be impressed much with my bobbers, but she might like a bauble, a diamond bauble might do the trick! 😉 Thanks a million my good son for visiting us here by the lake. Thanks especially for your great comment! I wish you all the best for a great rest-of-the-week, and a super fun weekend!

[@evanpolk5808]

That one fish was a monster compared to the other fish you catch. All your videos are very entertaining and you are pretty funny...remind me of my pop-pop

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi FatterDonut! Yeah, I know. Most of the bass are small guys, but every now and then, I get a monster! I'm very honored to remind you of your pop-pop! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@ItStartsWithAStep]

The size of that fish omg!!! Fish jambalaya sounds great :) good tip about the cauliflower rice :) nice mix of vegetables and flavours :) looks delicious John x

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Kate! I caught a couple of nice fish this time out. I have to humbly admit that this jambalaya recipe was one of the best recipes that I was ever fortunate enough to stumble upon. This dish is very popular in the southern states, especially down in Louisiana. Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my dear friend!

[@curtisstewart2190]

Once again you and miss cheeks have brighten up my day. The whole video is delightful. Great job...

Another great video pretty awesome fishing was really nice Bass and that was a monster crappie! I enjoy getting a notification at 7 every Sunday thank you

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Mathew! Aww man, you're very kind to say that! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@melindahester7715]

Your fish have sure grown! Me and Mawgwe could swear that was a 7 pounder at least. Can,t believe it was 3 something. Maybe Miss Lulu fixed your scales wrong. We sure loved that Crappie. A thing of beauty! Think of the shoes and purses you could make from that. Great recipe. We,ll try that. Well,we have 7 days at least of heavy rain coming in. Happy Grandpa,s Day! Hug Miss Lulu!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Melinda and Mawgwe! That big bass felt like 7 pounds to me too! I might have to get a new scale, huh? 😉 The bass was only 3.7!! Ms. Lulu does seem to have a mean streak, judging by her zingers here. Maybe she fixed that scale to disappoint me? We have that same rain here! The water is rising and getting muddy! What's going on this summer? Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend! Happy Father's and Grandpa Day to Mawgwe too! Love and hugs from us to you both!

[@BigLou956]

Very nice jambalaya dish my friend... That was a huge bass, I'm glad we got to see it before releasing it back👍👍... May you and Miss Lulu Cheeks stay blessed my friend...

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Luis! This Jambalaya dish is one of the best recipes I've ever stumbled upon! I can't wait to make it again! I always release those big ones and hope that I'll catch them again, soon! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@PidasianHippie]

I love my Tobasco Sauce! It was great to see Ms. Lulu actually laugh at her punch line in this video. Now you just need to let her know that you have already found the perfect woman and it is her. Take care you love birds. Hugs!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi April! Aww, you're the best! Even in a non-vegetarian dish, you find something nice to say. The jambalaya had just the right amount of spicy heat. Any more and Ms. Lulu wouldn't have been able to eat it. What a great suggestion you came up. I need to tell her that the woman I have in mind is HER! Thank you immensely for dropping over to visit and thank you for your kind words! Love and hugs! Have a very happy 4th of July my dear friend!

Geez, you were really hitting the big boys today! Very nice fish and a delicious looking recipe. Beautiful video as always. Your pal in Mississippi, Will

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Will in Mississippi! I was actually having some trouble catching the smaller bass that I needed for the recipe; the ones that I'm supposed to cull. So I had to turn to catching bluegill! This was a keeper recipe! I was very lucky to stumble upon it! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@stealthopscreeperstyle749]

Hey juanelo, I loved the video! You have some nice bass in your pond. Your bluegill are huge too! Ive never seen sunfish grow that big. Anyway, thanks for the delightful entertainment!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Stealth! I don't know why this is, but the bluegill have always been very big, since we bought the place 30 plus years ago. I'm very fortunate! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@CookingwithRick]

Hi John, those were some nice looking fish you pulled in, your jambalaya looks spicy and so delicious shrimp fish and sausage heaven on a plate.

[@Juanelo1946]

Good evening my friend. Looks like you had a nice workout catching those monsters. Nice recipe I got give this one a try. Have a blessed evening and week!

Hi Jorge! Oh, man, you're so kind! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@mikehunt8799]

It seems like the bass are getting bigger all the hard work is paying off

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Mike! What I didn't show in this video were over a dozen bass less than 10 inches; too small to use for dinner! So, although I keep trying to cull, I still haven't proven that it's doing a whole lot! LOL! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@BillGoudy]

Oh man... Look at the goodness!!! I'm thinking that I need to make this.... Only I will use Texas Pete for my hot sauce.... You are such an inspiration... Thank you!!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Bill! Man oh man, look at the goodness! This is one of the best recipes I was ever lucky enough to stumble upon! With a little adaptation, I switched the chicken in it to fish, and it worked! Oh I've got some Texas Pete! I should have used it here! I never thought of it though! Duh!!! You would love this recipe! You can make it in a Dutch oven. Thanks so much for stopping by and thanks for the good words my friend!

[@lemoncrinckles]

Whew...I was holding my breath when you were leaning over the side of your boat wrestling that 3-pounder! I was hoping he wouldn't pull you overboard! What a day of fishing extremes: either too small or too large! Hmmm...I hope your neighbor's runoff doesn't introduce unwanted chemicals into your lake. That jambalaya looked wonderful. I love one-pot style meals. Obviously Miss lulu enjoyed it, too. Wasn't that sweet of her to be so supportive of you getting married? Once you find the "right one", of course. LOL Thank you, Juanelo. Great video! (:

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Stef! I wasn't that close to the tipping point that I would have fallen in the lake, although it may have looked like it! 😁 This day I caught more little bass than I could shake a stick at, or show on the video! I know the neighbor will use fertilizer but, I doubt that he'll use any harmful chemicals. All the farms around me have little ponds with healthy fish in them. The worst effect will be a larger than desirable bloom of algae. It's the condition that I had 32 years ago when my former neighbor tilled the land for soy beans. But the bass were huge then! It might actually help the fishing. This Jambalaya was one of the best recipes I was lucky enough to stumble upon. I can't wait to make it again. Hahaha! Next week I'll try to convince Ms. Lulu that she's the right one! 😊 But you know how that is likely to go! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my dear friend!

[@lemoncrinckles]

Thanks for understanding I meant that wrestling comment to be humorous! Sounds like lake management takes considerable tweaking. Are those oriental catfish still a problem? (I 'think' they were catfish...maybe carp???). I marvel at the number of fish dishes you're shared over the years...You know the British are said to eat kippers at breakfast. Have you any fishy breakfast dishes? (:

[@Juanelo1946]

So many people have been asking about the Asian grass carp problem that I composed a reply two months ago that goes like this: "The problem is now solved. An expert bow hunter took out over a dozen grass crap in a period of three years. Also, natural mortality has finally taken its toll. I've spotted several dead grass carp over the years. The past two summers, weeds have returned and grass carp are hard to find. I'm very pleased!" As for breakfast, I haven't had breakfast since we took my mother in law out for brunch on Mother's Day, 1987! LOL! I eat like a wolf, one meal a day, dinner! I would like to try kippers some day. I've had smoked herring at the deli a couple of times. Are they the same? Oh one more thing: I finally tried breading and frying fish egg sacks. You started that notion in my mind. They were DELICIOUS! They were milder than oysters but had more flavor than fish. Hard to describe, but very, very good! Thank you for bring them to my attention. Have a grease splash screen ready when frying them in oil though! 😆

[@lemoncrinckles]

Yeah! We always loved those roe sacks. My Mom bought big old carps at G C Murphy's years ago. She simmered them in...I don't recall...maybe beer? You can imagine how much roe a big carp has to offer. I don't know about kippers. I thought they were more like a freshly fried sardine. Have you ever had marinated herring and onion? Boy, is my German showing! LOL You don't need to answer. I get too chatty sometimes. Have a good night! (: @@Juanelo1946

[@Juanelo1946]

YES! We love marinated herring! I don't remember the onion though... We ate them right out of a jar last Easter! Our oldest daughter served them to us. Show your German! I enjoy the learning from you about German food! Goodnight, Ms. Crinkles! 😊

[@coolmantoole]

Another delicious looking meal. Very little was bighting today except channel catfish. About 300 six inch long wild type channel catfish from the state hatchery went in during November of 2016. I put in an additional 400 channel catfish bread for commercial meat production from a private fish hatchery. These fish have some blue catfish in them to make them grow faster and bigger and to have milder better tasting meat. Boy! There is a big difference in the size of the catfish in the lake. As you can tell from the link. The first catfish I caught was double the size of the second one and at least a third larger than the third catfish. I'm beginning to get a fair number of bights from catfish that are simply too big for my ultralight tackle for bluegill to land. Of the three fish that I caught today, it was the big one that still looked the most like a juvenile. That's going to be a huge fish. My guess is that it just has to be one of the meat production fish from the commercial hatchery. Unfortunately KZbin does not seem to let us link fb photos anymore.

Hi Marcus! What a pity I can't click on a link anymore! I always enjoyed seeing your fish! The catfish story is fascinating! Looks like it won't be long before you start catching enormous channel cats! Good luck! Thanks a million for checking in and for the good words my friend!

I've been thinking of trying a "jambalaya" type of dish. Never had one. You've inspired me! I think I'd even prefer the "redefined rice fragments" to the real thing. I must admit when you pulled that giant fish out of the water I was terrified that it might be you who was dinner tonight. Thankfully you were able to control the beast and send him on his way before we witnessed the first "fish eating man" video on YT. (Although, I'm pretty sure that most likely has already happened. But I'm not going to search for it.) Ms. Lulu is warming up to you John! At least she wished you well in your quest for marriage!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Terry! I was very lucky to stumble upon this Jambalaya recipe! The original one didn't even include fish, but the fish worked out great! In fact, I can't wait to make this again! The bogus "rice fragments" were just as tasty as real deal! This was one of those crazy fishing days where I couldn't catch the smaller ones that I needed for the recipe. I had to resort to fishing for bluegill to fill the void. I was in no danger from that big beast I brought in the boat with me, even though I could put my whole head in his mouth! 😜 You're right! Everything that ever could happen, has happened, on KZbin! Haha, I know Mrs. Lulu is warming up to me. I am cooking up more ideas to win her heart!

Hi 16bit! The only interesting fact about the boathouse is that it was built in mid winter using the ice as a sort of a scaffold. My neighbor and his son did it all. The inside there is nothing but old, half-broken fishing gear that is dusty and often decorated with spider poop. There isn't enough of interest in it to do a show.

Ive never had jambalaya sure looks good. Great idea roasting the Caulirice. I’ll give that a try. The Bass was very big that you caught and the bluegill are so colorful. After your neighbor finishes plowing the field will the lake turn back to normal? Love Miss Lulus cute little chuckle at the end. Hugs to my favorite YT couple. 🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Brenda! We've had jambalaya only a few times in our lives ourselves. I'm always getting it mixed up with gumbo. But this is more like paella, and not soupy like gumbo. Honestly, it is one of the best recipes I was ever fortunate enough to adapt to my fish! 😋 I really don't know much about farming but I suspect the water will clear up. What I think will happen is that I get more algae floating on it because he'll probably use fertilizer and that will runoff too. Ms. Lulu and I sometimes can't keep a straight face during these silly skits! LOL! Thanks very much for looking at this video and for leaving the great comment my dear friend! We are keeping you in our thoughts every day! 🤗🤗

Marvelous dish (and the jambalaya didn't look so bad, either)! I was cleaning fish and practicing my "Jaunelo" filleting skills the other day.
