Hey Robert I’m 18 years old and have been watching you for over a year now and just wanna say thank you for showing me how to be a man and how to treat people in your life . When I was in the hospital and lost 25 lbs and weighed 125 lbs , I was watching your vids which help me through it all . I commented on the vid and you replied and it made me so happy along with everyone else praying for me . Just like to say I gained all my weight back plus 10 lbs and now weigh 160 lbs . Once again thank you for being a huge role model.

Oklahoma tip: Cut that tail off while the fish is still kicking and let it bleed out to make the meat less bloody and muddy.

[@rayward3835]

We would cut off the tail and put the catfish on a stringer and back into the water over night before cleaning it.

[@Jay-bz2ti]

YESS!!

[@shawnerickson7508]

Yessir good ole Oklahoma boys do it right!!!

[@brianking9424]

He had a video where he was with some people who showed him how to do it years ago. Weird how he didn’t use that technique

[@jburtonca]

I saw that on KZbin also at "Catching Wild Catfish By Hand in Oklahoma - Gordon Ramsay" After cutting the tail off and letting the blood drain the meat was very white. That probably makes a big difference.

[@AesculusPavia]

Cut the fillets into fingers, soak them in buttermilk, roll them in seasoned flour/cornmeal and fry in grease. I guarantee you will have a different opinion of that catfish meat!

@@chrisgraham5848 Yep I catch this big on Escambia river all the time and I give them a overnight buttermilk bath which makes them taste amazing. The belly is the best part in my opinion.

[@coreywhitley6798]

When I didn’t see them bleed the catfish first I was like “NO ITS GONNA TASTE TOO FISHY!” Hahaha, next time you try it, bleed it by cutting at the base of the tail and hang it up. The blood will drip out an it will be 1000 times better! Great video as always though

[@harishuskic7270]

I cut the gills while it’s flat then tail no difference tail or neck just the way the fish will end up hanging I think tail is better u can hammmer a nail into the head on a tree

[@jestertlsodx9897]

@Subzero Yeah, its easier to do. String them up and then just cut the tails off. Let them drain out.

[@bioshockz]

i was about to say the same, when you bleed the catfish the meat is white as snow.

[@nathanrust4446]

Bioshock fish is red meat stupid head

[@tinaproffitt6151]

You don’t have Necessarily have to bleed them out you just have to clean them right my dad is a fishing guide in South Carolina and he has never bled them out it’s all about how you clean them

[@joeazbill8644]

Hey Rob, you have to cut the red meat off the fillets!!! That's why they were so fishy tasting!!

[@wk9953]

This!!

[@holladaysfantasy]

Flathead is the best tasting catfish out there. I also clean the red meat off before cooking and eating. What I like about flathead is, no matter how big they get, they taste good.

[@hbbishopjr]

Exactly. Always....always, remove anything "red". Awesome video!

[@Mullinz80]

Exactly

[@ImaStarboy252]

i jus did a quick google search, "how to make catfish taste good" a featured youtube video "How to remove the muddy taste from catfish" came up. shows cutting out the center dark / redish piece all the way down the middle to get the lighter ends of the fillet and completely discard the dark pieces, then rinse out as much blood as u can from the trimmed fillets, then soaking the fillets in water with some salt and lemon juice overnight to get out more of the blood and said taste good after all that. interesting

This is coming from a Tennessee boy. You need to fry them. P.s. also put them in the fridge in saltwater and let them soak for about 24 hours before cooking.

[@allenwilson9656]

You can't expect much from a guy who has prolly never had much catfish to kno that . He's used to grouper , mahi, snapper and lobster 😂

[@goldo1107]

Yeah, that's what I heard. You have to deep fry cat fish any other way and it doesn't taste all that great.

[@zacharyboffa1315]

And this is from an Alabama boy take em cut off the head hangem from the tail upside down remove the skin and bread the whole thing and fry it whole. Put Tony's Cajun seasoning salt pepper and flour as your batter

[@ag92oo4]

I love how your family eats together and prays before eating. Something I never did growing up.

[@big_turkey8441]

Love this video! Reason it didn’t taste good was the way you cut the filet. There is a vein in the fish, has to be cut around. Also we usually soak in buttermilk to remove the flavor if we miss and hit the vein.

[@victoriashockley6063]

I love how Rob and Paul have become like best friends now! It’s so cool to see them two in videos together. They make great entertainment and content whenever they’re together!

Awesome video, I have seen a couple comments addressing this but I figure the more the merrier. I would recommend bleeding the fish by hanging it by the mouth and cutting the meat slightly before the tail and leave him there for about 15 or so minutes. Also, I would recommend frying the catfish with a cornmeal/flour breading because in my experience it seems to have a little bit better texture.

Deermeat! Next time you cook catfish when you skin it there is red meat under the skin. Trim all that off until you get to the white meat, also trim off all the yellow meat!
