Fishing for Crappie Cakes (in the snow flakes)

[@andyjones1060]

Whenever I need a new recipe for fish this is the first place I stop. Great Video again sir.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Andrew! This crappie cake recipe would work great with ANY kind of fish! You'd like it a lot it! Even Ms. Lulu loved it the next day when I fed her the leftovers! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@NaturesFairy]

Loved the look on Miss Lulus face. You two make me smile. Wow snow,,, so far none here. It’s been very mild. The broccoli casserole looks so good. The crappie cakes looked good. Frying anything in bacon fat is yummo😉 have a great weekend.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Brenda! This video was taken 3 weeks ago when the eastern half of the country got that cold snap. It was uncomfortable out there, but the show must go on, right? The next day I fed the crappie cakes to Ms. Lulu and she LOVED them! Of course with all that cheese, you can't go wrong with the broccoli casserole! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my dear friend! Lulu is waiving, "Hi, Brenda!!"

[@angelasheppard7197]

Excellent recipes. Cooked with them tonite. Heads up,works with shredded chicken too. I couldn't get any fish to bite.😊the broccoli recipe out of this world.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Angela! WOW! You made these recipes? Well you also made my DAY!! Shredded chicken is a GREAT idea!! Who needs crappie? Chicken is a super substitute! I knew you'd love the broccoli soup! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@michaelkolacz4449]

You made me hungry! When fish are caught under those tough conditions they seem to taste better.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Michael! Hahaha! You bet they taste better when you have to suffer so much to get the fish! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@LifeBuzzN]

That's what I'm talking about......Awesome. I'm gonna make some tonight. Thanks Friend.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi LifeBuzzN!! Great to see you again! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll like these crappie (fish) cakes as much as I did! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@foodjazz]

Since I'm allergic to shellfish this is the perfect replacement for crab cakes! Love that cheesy casserole! Delicious meal and great video, my friend!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Karen! As you know, this recipe would be perfect with many types of fish! I loved the fishcakes! They had just the right amount of spice and were bursting with flavor! The cheesy, creamy broccoli can't miss! Thank you so much for visiting us and for your very kind words my friend!

[@James-oj6ck]

Yet another great catch and cook. Thank you for brightening my evening.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi James! You're very kind!! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@snipehunter1]

Even though I have trouble understanding how you don't love my favorite fish to catch and eat (crappies) you are still my favorite subscription to pop up each week. May you and Miss Cheeks have a great holiday season.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Snipehunter! I know... some people say I need to have my head examined for not liking crappie! LOL! But in this recipe, we can all agree, they're great!!! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend! All the best to you and yours as well!

[@jacobholley7293]

[@Juanelo1946]

[@SmokeyGoodness]

Aw, sorry that everything froze up out there. I'd feel really bad if I mentioned our (almost) heat wave this week... Wait. I just *did* mention it, now I feel bad. Great video, as always, John!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Dan! I think you might have gotten a little taste of this cold too because I videoed this outing during a cold spell over 2 weeks ago that hit most of the midwest. But go ahead and rub it in. It's warmer there in SE Nebraska! LOL!!! [Wink] Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@Litzbitz]

I LOVE CROPPIE FRIED. YUM. THOSE CAKES LOOK AWESOME THOUGH. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A BLESSED THANKSGIVING. WE SURE DID. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Crappie season in Pa. at Pymatuning. Going back to one of my favorite videos for my favorite Crappie Recipe. I'll be watching these old videos til I croak.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Chico! I hope you do well catching those Pymatuning crappie! Aww, man, you're too kind! Thanks a million for watching my goofy videos over the years, and for continuing to watch them! Thanks especially for the good words my friend!

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Juanelo1946 When you can come check my channel, I think I do ok catchn crappie. Haven't did a catch & cook vid yet but might get a few of those in soon. Thanks!

[@Juanelo1946]

SK, I did subscribe! But I’m so sorry to say though that it's going to be very difficult for me to watch more videos. I'm already subbed to 479 channels. I haven't added any in over a year. I spend 4 to 5 hours a day watching and commenting on videos. there just isn’t much time in the day for more, but I'll TRY. Thank you for understanding my friend!

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Juanelo1946 Yes sir, I totally understand.... stop by when you can & I'll do the same on your channel. Keep those vids coming & thanks for sharing all the recipes you have.

[@tommyvinson6]

That crappie recipe looks good. I enjoyed the video thanks Juan.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Tommy! You're a good man! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@gracielee4561]

Hi Juanello! For some reason this video reminded me of a catfish story. Years ago we lived in an area that had a lake less than a quarter of a mile from our house. We'd just had lots of rain and the flood gate had been opened up to let out some of the water. My husband got down into it with a dip net and placed it over the head of the pipe. About ten minutes later voila! He caught a 8 1/2 lb catfish!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Janine! Hahahaha!! What a GREAT way to catch a catfish, and such a HUGE one at that! LOL! I won't forget that story! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my dear friend! Say hi to your hubby for me!

[@jasonrichards3373]

Very nice juanelo!!!! Those fish cakes looked simply perfect! Such unfortunate conditions to be out on the water! Thank god for those "rainy day" freezer fillets! That broc casserole looked simply Devine....thanks so much for the recipe juanelo! I'll be putting in my recipe book! Much love from the state of Maine

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Jason! I have a lot of "rainy day freezer fillets" just waiting to be used! There will be a long period between open water and safe ice when the water turns muddy and cold, and I won't be able to fish at all. I might have to do a show using freezer fish! LOL! I was fortunate to find these recipes, and lucky that they turned out so well! Try one or both if you get a chance! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@odalisestudillo9092]

Really do dislike fish but these videos encourage me to try different types ❤️keep up the good work

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Odalis! I disliked fish when I was young. But I never tried cooking my own until later in life. Suddenly they were delish! LOL! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@doublejbbq42]

never get tired of watching your videos , hoping I am having as much fun as you in years to come

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Jerry and Jimmy! It's so great to see you all again! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@iammongo2106]

Thanks for the broccoli recipe. We tried it yesterday with cauliflower. My girlfriend, who is not a famous food critic like Miss Lulu Cheeks, is a picky eater and she even liked it.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Mongo! Woo whoo! That makes my day! Thanks a million for watching my videos and especially for the great feedback on the recipe my friend!

[@Miss_Judy]

oh my goodness you are a dedicated fisherman! such beautiful snow flakes though - glad I wasnt in it... brrrr!!! so glad you went in! yummm sure looks good - great recipe!

Hi Life Unboxed! You know you made my day because it's your smile that I'm striving for more than anything with these videos! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend! Eat more fish! It's delish! LOL!

[@NoHippieBBQCooking]

Those fish cakes look awesome. I've never tried that fish before

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Lyle! I don't care for crappie. They're dry tasting. I feel unAmerican in even saying that! LOL! But in fishcakes they're very good! In fact, I served these crappie cakes again to Ms. Lulu the next day, and to my delight, she LOVED them too! Thanks my friend!

[@CookingwithRick]

John your crappie looks anything but crappie it looks delicious and the cheesy broccoli casserole perfect.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Rick! LOL! In fact, I served these crappie cakes again to Ms. Lulu the next day, and to my delight, she LOVED them too! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@PidasianHippie]

You are surely dedicated to your fishing to be out there on a day like this. Your broccoli casserole (minus the bacon) is right up my alley. It looked delicious. Good thing you have a go to recipe for the crappie you have been catching as of late. Ms. Lulu was quick with the punch line. At least she was not so hard on you this week. I hope your holiday weekend was wonderful. My apple butter making event with the family was great. Unfortunately, I forgot to take my camera along. I may throw up some video from a couple of years back. Have a great week you two. My love to you both.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi April! It's gotten so that I worry about missing a show and disappointing my young fans, so I force myself to fish in the snow. You sure don't need the bacon to enjoy this great cheesy, creamy broccoli casserole! I know you'd love it! Oh shucks, I wont be able to see you making apple butter! I wondered how that turned out. I'm so glad it was great! YES, throw up the old video! Ms. Lulu is still quick with her lines, but this time they didn't sting too much! LOL! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my dear friend! We love you!!!!!!

[@ethanaugello6960]

Good job on your videos keep up the good work I love your humor

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi GV! I'll try my best to keep the videos coming. Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

Just stopping by Sir. Don’t want to miss any of your great videos, so I’m going back in time to view them.

[@mikecha1957]

Wow frozen eyelets is right cold John...Don't blame you getting off the lake..Fish cakes huh? Well those looked very nice indeed.. and the broccoli casserole looks like a keeper too...As always I enjoyed the show...

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Mike! Brrr, it took me two hours in the house to defrost! I bet these fish cakes would be at least as delicious with catfish! I was lucky to find the recipe for the broccoli cheese casserole too! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@CherylKCherylsHomeCookingshow]

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi again, Jenny!! Ms. Lulu and I have fun when we go out to eat! If you're a cheese lover like we are, try the broccoli casserole! Yummo! It tastes better than it looks! Thank you so much for stopping over to visit, and especially for your kindness my dear friend!

[@WORMGITTER]

I wondered why you didn't like crappie....we love them here....it might be their diet....the ones we catch are not like you describe...anyway the casserole and fish cakes looked delicious! Glad you enjoyed them, and found a way to cook them that you like! Mrs. Gitter says Hi! You and Ms Lulu take care!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Duke! Some people say my crappie don't taste that great because of the murky water they come from, but all the other fish from the lake taste good. Here, in crappie cakes, they were great! In fact, I served these crappie cakes again to Ms. Lulu the next day, and to my delight, she LOVED them too! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend! Ms. Lulu joins me in sending you, Mrs. Gitter, and the gang our best!

[@cagedlemp5184]

Those fish cakes look very good, Ill have to start making them next summer.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi CL! I know you'd love these fishcakes with whatever kind of fish you might catch or buy! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@Winkiedoodles]

Ha, ha, great show once again, John! Even though it was in the 'portions pre-recorded' section, it was still fun to see Miss Lulu make a customary concommital observation on your pursuit of romantic ice breaking.... :) The cheezy broccoli casserole looked really good and of course the crappie cakes were perfectly prepared and looked delicious. I sure identified with your 27 degree fishing outing and was surprised to see you sans gloves. It sure is hard to stay warm in those conditions and seems even colder on the water. This might sound odd, but the best way to de-ice your guides is to swish the pole around in the water....sometimes between each cast. Unfortunately, the lighter the lure, the more difficult it is to cast it when the ice builds up quickly - cold conditions, especially with temps in the 20s and 30s always bring a host of fun (ha), special things to deal with - and that's why most folks choose to wait for warmer weather. But, as you saw, the fish are still there! Nice crappie, by the way, and glad you enjoyed them in the cake configuration. Perhaps we have a slightly different, less mushy, tasty variety here in central Missouri; as you know we love them! No fishing recently due to high winds and low water. Maybe later this week. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Your friends, Don, Brenda & Lorraine

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Don! One of these days, Ms. Lulu will change her attitude toward me and marriage! I feel it coming! LOL! "Concommital" is not even in my built-in computer dictionary! I had to go to other sources to find that it means neutral, evasive, or vague! And that is exactly her attitude! I don't know why I didn't think to swish my rod in the warmer water. For sure it would have freed the guides! DUH!! I have those ice fishing gloves where only your finger tips are exposed, but for some reason I didn't like them. It has been so long since I've used them, I forgot why I didn't care for them. I'll take them out again and give them a fair shot this winter! I don't know why the crappie here have a taste and texture that aren't appealing. One viewer said it's because of my "dirty water." But the bluegill, bass and perch from the lake are sweet and tender. All that is moot of course in crappie cakes! They are truly delicious in this recipe! We had a great Thanksgiving and I trust you did too! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend! All the best to you, Brenda, and sister, Lorraine! - - John & Jeanne

[@ForgetU]

8:22 Crappie are good, I can't believe it... Just like Tony the Tiger would say - "They're Great !!!"

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi MJ! Hahaha! They're pretty good in crappie cakes! But I'll take bluegill, or especially perch, over crappie. LOL! I'm sorry Tony the Tiger! Thanks again for watching this episode and for the good comment my friend!

[@ellendelights]

Hello John, hope you had a great Thanksgiving, Beautiful Crappie Cakes!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Ellen! How are you? Yes we had a great Thanksgiving, and I sure hope you did too! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for being so nice my friend!

[@daddyosink4413]

Your are killing me with that casserole! I'm on dairy restriction for a few months due to high cholesterol.... looks soooooo good.

[@Juanelo1946]

Oh no, DaddyO! Find another doctor! LOL! My cholesterol went DOWN when I started doing low carb and eating lots of fat!!! TRUE!! LOL! I understand though. You gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck with that! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@FishingFamilyFun]

Down in these parts, we just call 'em "crappy" ;) Love your enthusiasm for 2 of our favorite things, fishing and cooking! This recipe looks good, but will probably have to try it with bass or another fish we don't already love so much. We love crappie!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi FFF!! I've been learning that in many states, perch aren't regarded very highly, but here, around the Great Lakes, they're at the top of the menu! This recipe would work great with any mild fish! Thank you so much for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@FishingFamilyFun]

You'll be glad to know that (white) perch is at the top of our list too. If you can find them here, you can usually catch a load of them in one spot. I look forward to more recipes. We hope you always stay as passionate about catching the fish and cooking them.

[@Juanelo1946]

They'll be a couple more fishing-cooking videos coming before the frigid winter weather locks me in the kitchen! Let's hope I can cook something that turns out YUMMY! Thank you again for support and encouragement my friend!

[@Booger500us]

Well dang we crappie has a purpose ! Oh that lake is gonna ice over soon eh Juanelo? Those mini fish cakes were beautiful! Keep trying with our Lulu she's coming around I just know it!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Booger! It won't be long, and the lake will be covered with ice! Ugh! We'll be needing a Florida vacation then! I can see it in her eyes, and feel it in her hugs; Ms. Lulu is falling for me! LOL! I just hope it doesn't take another half century of to win her heart! I'm running low on time! LOL! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@ThunderMountainTactical]

Looked great my friend! You are the Julia Childs of fishing. LOL!

[@jamesblair3990]

Hey Juanelo, nice crappie. Cant wait to see your new boat...

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi James! It'll be a couple of weeks before the new boat shows up in a video due to my shooting so far in advance and other factors, but it arrived and is now in the boathouse ready to roll! Huge thanks for watching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@6426Dave]

That looked very good! I make bluegill cakes with fish I have home canned. They taste just like crab cakes.

[@Juanelo1946]

[@terrysharing]

When the flavors are "exploding" that's what we love. You can never have too many flavors! I'm guessing even Dorothy would love this! The only way we "catch fish" is to go to the market and buy their frozen breaded fish. It's really great! I'll start tossing it to Dorothy so we can say it was "fresh caught!"

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Terry!! I couldn't believe my own mouth how bursting with flavor these crappie cakes were! In fact, I served them again to Ms. Lulu the next day, and to my delight, she LOVED them too! Dorothy would enjoy these! But there is nothing wrong with the way you catch and cook fish! Lord knows I could never make a garden, let alone a gazebo! I'd have to hire a crew! LOL! Thanks a million for stopping over to watch my zaniness! Thanks for your kindness my friend!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Infamous! This is the one recipe where I really enjoy the taste of crappie! You'll love it! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@CamsHams]

This recipe really must be good cause knowing crappie isn't really your favorite fish to eat.

[@edwardcalvo4640]

Crappie cakes huh that sound delicious 😋 I wish I could have maybe I’ll see if I can do the with tilapia because that’s all I can catch in Florida

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Edwardo! Of course you could do crappie cakes with tilapia! Any mild fish will work great in this recipe! Good luck! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@BillGoudy]

Man oh man... that looks like a couple of wonderful recipes, John... I have made something similar using canned salmon... This looks so much better... I will give this a try!! Miss Lulu will never know what she is missing!! ;-)

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Bill! I couldn't believe my mouth how flavorful these crappie cakes were! In fact, I served them again to Ms. Lulu the next day, and to my delight, she LOVED them too! I sure hope you try them. You could use any kind of fish! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@lateby]

Hi John, Great show !!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Tom! Always great to see you! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@jetchalice8743]

A trifecta of bass, bluegill, and crappie

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi JK!! Hahaha! A trifecta! Or hockey fans might call it a hat trick! I was lucky! Thanks so much for watching my shows and especially for the good words my friend!

[@jetchalice8743]

Juanelo1946 no problem

[@znovosad555]

That cold weather surely is approaching! Ice fishing time

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Zach! I have to hope that the ice gets thick enough! My fingers are crossed! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@znovosad555]

Juanelo1946 yes for sure! If it doesn't freeze here in Connecticut enough, I might have to go to New Hampshire. And I'm always more than happy to leave a nice comment on your videos:)

[@HopskysLounge]

great video. I have been catching kokanee and rainbow trout ice fishing the last couple weeks.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Hopsky! Wow! It sure gets cold fast up there! Good for you! Congratulations! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@BBBYpsi]

That looks fantastic. I will have to try making those patties & I will have to try the almond flour.

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi BBBY! These crappie cakes were delicious! In fact, I served them to Ms. Lulu the next day, and to my delight, she loved them too! Almond flour does the job to help bind the patties, just like regular flour, but without the carbs! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@emmanuelcollins2566]

I love your videos from your number one fan

[@emmanuelcollins2566]

Keep it up

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Emmanuel! Thank you for being my number one fan!!! I'll try my best to keep good videos coming! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@VektrumSimulacrum]

I picked great time to get into tiny artificial baits, ha. Then again I haven't had much luck with live bait around this time either. Nice crappie Juanelo. One day... one day I will find them like that!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Vekta! LOL! You can do it! I know you'll get into some good fish soon! If there are fish in the lake you fish, you'll catch them! I promise! LOL! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@VektrumSimulacrum]

If you've got a tiny jerkbait in your collection somewhere (like a size XR04 (1.5 inch ) Rapala X-rap or something...could us viewers convince you to give it a shot the next time you go to the fish market?

[@Juanelo1946]

Vekta! I have a few very small floating-diving jerkbaits, Rapalas and AC Shiners. I don't feel very confident using them in this cold water though. I'll try them in the spring! Remind me! LOL!

[@breklonsalyers9555]

Thanks, it seems like a good reel

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Breklon! This model is discontinued but ones like it are available. They aren't expensive! Thanks again!

[@beanscornbread1381]

Juanelo I also love fish cakes! Interesting you precooked the fish and veggies ill have to try that. I noticed you used the secret ingredient- Old Bay! Also, you can roll them in your choice of flour or breadcrumbs for a nice breading on the outside! I add flax meal to my cakes as a binder it works well. You can also use the fish bones to make a very quick fish stock that you can turn into a plethora of different sauces to go with your fish. Thanks for the video Juanelo it made my day!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi BR! Some years ago, I made a video where I did NOT precook the crappie, and the crappie cakes turned out great. It's just that precooking them allows me to distribute the meat by shredding it instead of finely chopping it raw, which is more effort. Yes, I agree with you about the flour and breadcrumbs. But because of my low carb diet, I try to avoid those ingredients. Flax meal, on the other hand, is perfect as a binder, as you noted! Much like cornmeal, it adds a bit of crunchiness too. I never thought too long about making a fish stock though... I'll explore that idea! I like the suggestion! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the great comment my friend!

[@beanscornbread1381]

Juanelo1946 unlike making a chicken stock which takes a few hours, all the flavor from the fish bones cooks out in just a few minutes!

[@beanscornbread1381]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2SXeKOGh9Cghs0 This is a great example of a french fish sauce using homemade fish stock! Butter veloute! I think it would be hilarious to do a french themed episode like the comical "juachinango" episode! that was my favorite episode. And maybe a bit of fancy french food could finally win Lulu's hand in marriage? LOL i love this channel to much if you can't tell!

[@jayholtz8633]

great video

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi jay! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@freebstrains5313]

hey juanelo! man it looked cold out there. went fishing with a buddy on black Friday, they said it was going to be 50. yea right! lol! but all I caught was a big pickerel, so fish for me. ( I have know idea how to filet one. ) cheesy broccoli, and fish cakes cooked in bacon grease, looked darn good and will have to try! thanx as always, the both of you, for posting another fun video!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Freeb! You caught a pickerel! Congratulations!! It's so, so much better than being skunked! I think pickerel have an extra set of Y bones, but I'm not sure. I'd cut around the bones as best I could. A few bones won't hurt! I hope you try one or both of these recipes here! They turned out great! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@scottm5167]

Looked great!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Scott! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my friend!

[@melindahester7715]

Ahh we knew you secretly loved crappie! mawgwe wants to start raising mealworms here in my kitchen. He wants to use my quaker oats i guess. He bought me a cabellas heated jacket so i can fish all winter. We,ll have our own worms whilst the bait store is closed,and i,ll be all warm and toasty in my coat. Are you cooking gluten free. That broccoli dish i might make. Well,maybe Miss Lulu will come over if you quit serving ole dead 🐠 love you both!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Melinda and Mawgwe! I tried raising mealworms once in Quaker Oats! They all turned into big beetles! LOL!! I don't have a green thumb for them, or whatever thumb. You have a HEATED jacket? I need to look for that! I could plug it in to my boat battery! 😜 No, I don't worry about gluten. It never has seemed to bother me. But carbs sure make me put on weight. Try the broccoli! It's so easy and is actually better as a leftover! Mmm! I have to find the magic recipe that will win Lulu's heart. Maybe dead fish won't be featured! LOL! Huge thanks for catching my shows and especially for the nice comment my dear friends! We love you too!

[@kadenswanson2855]

Loved sorry haven't said anything for couple days went camping!but any way keep it up loved this video! Like always.keep up the good work

Now you went and done it!! Not only are you still catching fish,but you did it in the snow,something I've never done before!! At least,I can live vicariously thru you,Juanelo!! How do you catch a unique fish??????????Unique up on him!!!!! LOL Happy St. Nicholas Day!!

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Scottie! I had to get out in the snow to catch fish. I couldn't disappoint my fans! The show must go on! Hahahaha, I LOVE your joke! Maybe I could have Ms. Lulu use it on me at the end of one of my shows!? Hahaha! Yes, happy St. Nicolas Day to you and yours! Thank you so much for checking in and for the good words my friend!

[@fastedjuan247]

THROW IT AT YOU...You 2 crack me up every week! With all the leftovers...i wonder how turkey cakes would taste?...Thanks, Edward

[@Juanelo1946]

Hi Edward! Yes, thank you! Our Thanksgiving was great, and I hope yours was too! You'll love these fish cakes! They are easy and they make even crappie taste great! LOL!
