Hitting the Buffalo fish run perfectly! These are NOT trash fish!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Last year didn’t go so well!! Here’s what happened! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJe8hHhsns2bsM0

[@forestcityfishing4749]

You dont need to net them, or spear them or snag them...just put some corn on a hook...or some bread...far more fun

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

@@forestcityfishing4749 Not looking for fun..... just a meat supply.

[@ronhaycook4115]

Awesome, We sold bait from our house when I was a kid .When we were old my dad took us down to the river at night to pick peeler crawdads in the day to sign minnows. What good memories your kids will have .

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Wow that’s awesome! I helped pull my end of a seign net as a kid too!

[@Robs346]

This brings back great memories from the early 80’s in the fall in Wisconsin using a dip net on a old bridge trying to catch buffalo and carp .. buffalo taste so good smoked!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

👍 I discovered that to be the case when I smoked some of these!

[@Tinyhomedeals]

Never heard of buffalo fish. But that is what I call harvesting all that nature offers. Great job.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks..., we definitely get some of nature’s delicious bounty!

[@ronaldbeatty9423]

I learn more from you than I did in school. Hope I graduate

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂 you are an amazing apprentice!😂

[@CopperheadRoadHomestead]

That looks like lots of fun! Never heard of buffalo fish!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

They are confused for carp a lot. I’ll try to catch some carp sometime to show the difference

[@montydjuan1532]

Buffalo fish doesn't has whiskers, carp fish has them.

[@billbarrett582]

We used to call these "suckers" when I was a little kid. I was always excited to catch these and carp because they were so big. My dad and uncle said they were too bony and threw them on the shore. Always wanted to keep them and eat them. I will from now on.!

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

Lol, I have been propped on a stump many times! That looks like a lot of fun. Nice to see you out there as a family. Can't wait till I can take my 2 youngins fishing. Great video, Brother!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That will be awesome! I’m so happy you have kids to do stuff with! It makes life so much better!!

[@yingher1663]

is there a camp ground at the river? hope you still make more videos good job

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

There actually is….. but we never use it because we live only 30 minutes from it!

[@AB1B1]

Good stuff bro. Buffalo is second to none in the taste department.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s true! Not many know this!

[@MoneypitHomestead]

We enjoyed this video and we are looking forward to seeing what you do with these fish!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I think you’re gonna love it!

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

I'd rather Buffalo ribs over Buffalo Wild Wings any day of the week. My ex brother in law would slice the fillets every quarter inch and fry them crisp. You could eat it bones and all.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Well!!! I need to try that! Thanks so much!

[@samanthar.tiponya1215]

Scored and fried in cornmeal and lard. That is how you make the perfect buffalo sandwich!

[@DavidHummel-cc4of]

So the rib bones are that close together huh? Bit they are big bones apparently.. I guess you could cut out each separate bone with meat and whatever heat source you use, could eat it right off the bone like small baby back pork ribs done country style.. Thanks for the encouragement to go after these fish for what used to be considered a delicacy in commercial fishing

[@fldays6798]

What a fun video to watch thanks for sharing keep the camera's rolling from Florida

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks so much! We do stuff sometimes 😂

[@samjibinjbinj9714]

Buffalo are the bomb when it comes down to smoke fish!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Absolutely!

[@caryverhalen]

Wow! They're thick if you're throwing a net. Hopefully everyone involved owns fillet knives🐟

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Yes the boys all help! 🔪

[@BRADASSOFFGRIDHOMESTEAD]

This popped up, I haven't seen it! I thought I seen all your vids. Now I want some fish!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’m really hoping we get a good Buffalo fish run this year!

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

Can't say I have ever ate a buffalo fish but looked like y'all got a great haul.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Yes it was a pretty good haul! Thanks so much!

[@jimfausset8122]

Your buffalo fish look like the common carp or are they the invasive Asian jumping carp

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

No it’s completely different….. look up smallmouth buffalo fish

[@peppymissa]

Oh my goodness that looks like so much fun!! It's not the first time I've been propped up on a stump. 😂🙈🙉🙊 Is this the place where we used to camp out every year? It's so beautiful!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Yes that’s the very spot!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

Awwwwww man....I see a year's worth of hoop net bait and turtle net bait NOTHING better....LOVE!!!!! :-) Enjoyed it brother thanks for sharing! You need to teach those younguns how to throw that castnet haha

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I would love to have some hoop nets to run for catfish! To be honest with you if I had a turtle and a buffalo fish sitting side-by-side I would take the Buffalo fish! They are so good!

[@CruzesLouisianaOutdoors]

@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Awwww man I'd take you up on that challenge...but I have to be the one that cooks the turtle :-)

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Cruze's Louisiana Outdoors I guarantee you I’d eat anything you cook! I’ve seen you in the kitchen!

[@AaricHale]

Wow you guys did awesome ! I bet you got excited when pulling them all up . You need to get some more nets for the boys . I would love to have been with you guys .

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

The boys have a smaller one but it did not seem to catch any fish LOL

[@AaricHale]

@@McGieHomesteadAdventuresHow many pounds did you end up with ? Your garden will be growing like crazy with all those fish parts !

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Aaric Hale I don’t know how many pounds.... but on the week we got 90 fish that pretty much all weighed over a pound..... probably averaged 2&1/2 lbs each

[@mohammedrasel1862]

If you don’t mind asking where is the location you’re fishing at.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

A tributary of the Cumberland River

[@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy]

Looks like fun. You must have several freezers.

[@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy]

Making awesome memories with the boys

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

BOOTS AND BONNETS WITH CHRIS & CHRISTY yes we had a blast! Although most of these fish go in the canner and not the freezer we do have a couple freezers!

[@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy]

Hope you are making a video of the canning process. Interesting 👍

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

BOOTS AND BONNETS WITH CHRIS & CHRISTY tomorrow!

[@williamhicks9905]

i dont eat them my brother got a forked bone hung in his throat .you cant get all the bones out.some say you can boil them and you can eat the bones

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

He didn’t know about sipping the special tea I guess. Adolf’s meat tenderizer has a lot of bromelain in it. Bromelain eats up a bone.

[@mpedmar9701]

Very interesting ! Can't wait to see your video tomorrow. Always interested in new ideas and recipes. God bless Stay happy, healthy and safe.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Awesome! I’ve got two videos coming for you on how to fix em up delicious!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Wow there’s got to be some around!

[@HenryFammm]

Clarksville tn

[@eh1918]

There is plenty around Nashville, actually all over Tennessee. Go to any local lake and try to find a cove or a creek running into the lake, preferably a creek but coves can have them in good numbers as well.

[@CDavis-vc8gl]

Just out of curiosity how did the limb lines do? You did so well on the trout line that never saw how the others worked.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It is interesting... not a single thing on the limbs! The water was just too cold! Now it’s very warm and I’m sure the limbs would work well...... but I’m too busy to go back out for a while!😒
