HUGE Summer Timber Crappie! Catch Clean & Cook

[@pesthunteroutdoors]

I'm right handed crank left hand. The right hand is the power arm for the fishing rod much easier to keep the fish under control.

[@obedmarshjr8498]

I'm right handed, retrieve spinning left but learned baitcaster right hand retrieve. Left feels wrong now.

[@landon_shonuff1181]

I’m a righty bit will in fact use a lefty cause with spinners it’s like a lefty caster

[@arensenfishingandoutdoors6766]

I’m the same way

[@adammcdonald611]

Righty here. I crank left handed too. Always have.

[@alexanderku5527]

Same for me . When my friends use my setups they are always like wtf 😂😂😂

[@bradenrush1234]

When’s googan gonna start coming out with crappie lures like if ya agree!!

[@drosales43]

This would be great

[@adamsmith3996]

Man they got you guys hook, line and sinker ! Googan crappie baits will not be any better than the hundreds of crappie lures already on the market.

[@drosales43]

@@adamsmith3996 you're right! Probably not... and I like to support people i get value from! So I'd buy there crappie baits... Doesn't mean I don't support other people/companies I do and I support the heck outta these guys chasing the American Dream

[@KidKrappie]

Minnows will make a big difference on those summer finicky crappie.

[@fifedizzy4563]

I find it refreshing, and dig that you are multi-species fisherman and not afraid to target the crappies and even catch n cook. This is how I grew up, on the crappies and walleyes (trips to Wisconsin). Nothing wrong with it! So many guys and gals are "largemouth bass only" fisherman and I think that is their prerogative but limiting themselves. I have become more of a largemouth and smallmouth bass guy (especially creek smallies in the summer and fall via the kayak), but still times when I target the crappies on lakes.

[@diggity2966]

"If you don't like catchin HOG JAMMERS like this then you ain't American"! Truer words never spoken! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@FishingWithJames]

Catching slabs in the summer is the absolute best! 🔥🎣

[@okieraptor3]

Crank is always on the right side for me.

[@jonnygranville281]

I kinda feel like Rackley is the quarterback of the Googan squad.

[@pbnc1234]

Well yeah, looking identical to Matt Ryan will do that for ya

[@ShinyHunterBobby]

Nothing like some golden crispy crappie

[@henrycanan]

I think googan needs crappie line of baits !

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

You guys are turning Manager Matt into a regular stick, yes that’s a compliment Mr Matt. Keep up the good work.

[@darinison3500]

I'm right handed. I like my reel handles on the left side. No switching the rod back and forth when casting.

[@tylermallory2504]

Same here.

[@herefishyfishy6907]

OSG is absolutely glowing! What a lucky guy.

[@bsuch9519]

I just rewatched your crappie vids yesterday😂 Love these vids!

[@wayneknicely1873]

Pink head and white plastic, the bomb-digady of Crappie baits!

[@mr.fisher3973]

Nothing like a fresh catch of crappies - well except a fresh catch of saugeye/walleye!!!

[@Laster_Motorsports_SIM_Racing]

Justin I love your channel. I can no longer fish due to being run over by a Cadillac in 2015. I really enjoy the diversity of your videos. Bass, crappie, elk, squirrels, deer and of course the catch, clean & cooks. Have you ever seen a bass boat for someone who is disabled? I wished there was more content on the Lake Family channel.

[@matthewirish5755]

Having some flashbacks of Matt grabbing the line again. Lol

[@mikegray-ehnert3238]

Justin, Zataran's has a Blackened Seasoning mix that I one on baked orange roughly. I also add a bit of Tony Chaxherie's Creple cause I like it hot. Half melted butter and half EVOO as a dredge and than grill on a castbiron griddle at highest heat for blackened fish too. Use Cavendars Greek seasoning for Emmie's to start and because to cook hers first. Filets cook in a 1.5 to 2 min/side.

[@Delmarvafishing]

PB Dangle nugget golden crispy?

[@lopezoutdoors2964]

Love the Crappie fishing Justin! Wear em out!! Tight lines brother.

[@foggywaterfishing1752]

You know the fishing is good when LFG starts sounding like Scooby Doo @ 2:15

[@clarkholton461]

Left hand reel on my spinning setups.

[@westlee1626]

Crappies down south here are some of the fattiest and biggest I’ve seen since living here. I remember living up north in Minnesota and the crappies up there are so frail and small. I see people pulling up 10 inches all day. Came down here and caught my biggest crappie real quick!

[@stevesproul3744]

That B Roll before the fish cleaning was hilarious. Those sandals were 🔥🔥🔥

[@nojoeoutdoors4623]

LFG: "You're going home." Crappie: "You're right, see ya!"

[@EoffZooStaff]

That was a good time!!!! I don't think I have ever seen a crappie that big. I like when you do the catch, clean & cook.

[@Chris-cj4yz]

Been ready for some LFG crappie catch clean cook videos!

[@jmikechristian9557]

I use spinning handle right side. Feel comfortable to me like my bait casters

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

Same 🎣

[@TheRLindsey]

Flair needs some LFG tutelage for crappie fishing in his upper pond.

[@aarondixon5798]

I only use left side crank on a spinning reel because I cast with my right hand. I didn’t like switching back and forth. Now with my casting reels I use a right side crank. I can cast and switch to left hand during the cast so the transfer is quicker than a spinning reel.

[@wyattshelton2080]

"Quit drinking that, it's weird" Sounds like me talking to my three year old lol

[@sunnyztmoney]

Good to see you still out fishing.

[@lifeoutdoors2day357]

Richard Gene describes dead sticking best... "I'm going to make that jig do exactly what crappie like, which is nothing" Another amazing video Sir

[@cpsencik04]

We had a great weekend on the crappie grind as well this weekend. 20 between 3 fisherman most all 13"+ made for a great dinner!

[@D0peSince85]

Congrats on the addition to the family! My wife’s due in October 🙏🏾

[@michaelmcknight5989]

Googan should make crappie jigs and lures

[@sNaFu0101]

I'd just like to take a moment to appreciate the heck out of LFG's boat flipping skills. He makes it look effortless

[@marcusortega8194]

Hell yea, Matt needs to be in more videos!!!

[@clooliss6400]

So i am used to Matt being the minimum Googan but lately he crushing it! Just messin' with you bro! Nice first catch and steady throughout the day!

[@intelligentgamer9091]

Lucky man bud 💯

[@nolanrains2738]

I tend to use reels on either side, but i do prefer my crank to be on the left when i use a spinning reel while bass fishing to really drive the hooks in and have better control of the fish.

[@joefish5061]

Matt's best line of the year so far! "Have they been activated?"

[@pnwriverfisher]

Lfg you’re a legend.

[@randywilson6869]

When I was a kid (50)years ago we would go down to the creek and catch those little catfish(mud cats) and cut the head off and gut em and washed it in the muddy creek. Then get water and dirt and mix up some mud and put it all over the fish and stick it in the coles when the mud turns dry the fish is done and just tap the dirt and it pulls the skin off with but b sure to take salt

[@getschwifty8449]

I can't wait for that cook book Stephanie, trying something new away from foods that give me gout.

[@Big_Toe_Gaming]

I know it sounds weird, but try sweet and sour sauce with your fish, it’s game changer

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

Man you guys have some serious slabs down there. MN's get hit so hard it's not easy to find them that size anymore unless you go up north. Great video!

[@shaunroberts9361]

Damn LFG hooking it up. Love crappie...

best damn catch n cook ever

LETS GOOOOO!!!

[@SirrLance_]

Congrats on the mill!!!!

[@hinben]

During the summer here in Nebraska, live minnows are the juice for finicky crappie. I have almost no luck using any kind of artificial once it gets hot.

[@albertoknotalbertoknot5131]

Shout out to the Kingpin Matt my guy

[@woodyatha4743]

Loved the video brother great content from fishing with Matt (always a good time go team nursing home) to explaining how to clean fish to cooking and spending time with the family awesome life brother ❤️🎣

[@jims7465]

You can switch the handle on the spinning reel to the other side. It's currently set up for a left-hander.

[@GraysonH]

love the videos that motor sound sick

[@hexxappeal1737]

I love it man! Please do more catch clean and cooks!

[@mattnowlin6626]

Dang I was getting anxious with the length of time it took to get the dag gone NET! Lol

[@jnorman975]

Makes way more sense to control rod with dominant hand and reel with non dominant hand. So if you're right handed, put crank on the left and vice versa

[@brucemohon740]

You are the Man!Thanks for the tips!!

[@Dr_T_Harris]

I’ve been crappie fishing a lot out there this year and it is definitely an off year, they are stacked up as usual but getting them to bite is another story. Even with a minnow, they are finicky. I think the amount of bait that’s in the lake has them full!

[@jasonwoytassek6645]

Been waiting for a crappie video!!

[@brennenlowe2603]

half shell red fish is amazing

[@debraweikel4521]

Those sandals are hilarious.

[@silk_yarrum]

I'm a lefty, I like controlling the rod with my left and reeling with the right

[@ZM_Outdoors]

With casting rods I use both left and right hand rods. Spinning i use left hand crank

[@donnypatoine4475]

Yall gotta get on the slip bobber game. Might have been great on a deadstick bite like that 🤷‍♂️

[@adammcdonald611]

Great video guys! My wife is due in two months too with our second son!

[@mcmiller]

Left handers may put handle on right side or guys that have been fishing baitcasters for years before left hand retrieves were readily available

[@wadebowdre7748]

Love the slides!!!! Awesome!!!

[@marccowell1553]

I use spinning real on the right side. Just comes from when I was young fishing with Zebco 33. So when I started throwing a spinning real it felt “right”

[@rickashford4005]

That's why my Uncle Maxie, when he taught us kids how to fish, called them "papermouths", and not get too overzealous about horsing them in, or we'd tear the hook out of their mouths.

Nice catch! My PB Crappie is 17". Probably wont ever seen one that size again.

Got a 4lb12oz in VA, I had the old book and it said I had the state record. Turns out a guy beat me by 5lb2oz. Thats a slab daddy right there! I thought I had a 2lb bass but when I saw the flash and saw that spotted glory things changed real quick

Kept trying to understand why the cooler was opening toward the water. Kept waiting for your fish to flip out of the cooler into the lake when you dropped 'em in. Stressing me out, bro! 😜

[@Simple_Man_Golf]

Slab city! 🔥🔥🔥

[@zackerynichols3843]

There a trick I found out and it’s the garlic pins that u use for bass fishing and I found out crappie absolutely love it I’ve had days where I drop a bait in with no garlic not get a bite then drop it down with the garlic and catch 10 fish in 10 drops

[@rockridgeproduction9736]

Love your videos keep it up
