Absolutely love this episode crazy. I was born and raised in Michigan and I now live in Idaho two awesome states.

[@GordBirch]

I see a lot saying the same thing, these Cal in the Field are inspiring, lovely to watch - just a great time, best of the meateater shows

[@JeremyReger]

Need so much more of Cal.. these are so awesome

[@hunt_trap_fish]

Cal... I so, so, SOOOO badly hope that perch went on your wall. Your fisheries folks were so well-spoken; so easy to understand... really, truly amazing.

[@wakeabyss]

I remember ice fishing on that same lake with my buddy as a little kid back in the 90's. We caught 100 perch in one day. We ate like kings that evening.

[@jaredknapp8886]

Thanks for the upload. Love from Michigan.

[@RevampedOutdoors]

8:50 , this is what makes Meateater stuff so special. Great job, I was lucky enough to hit it at a peak cycle, miss it every year.

[@MikeQOutdoors]

Great episode! Always fun with Fritz. There ya go buddy

[@ouhutra]

One of the best episodes! Loved the opening and the whole episode was wonderful.

[@lunamcm5]

I rarely comment on videos, but I am so glad I found this. I saw an ad for Old Time Hawkey’s new cookbook on Facebook, which piqued my interest enough with its lovely cover and description to dig a little deeper. Found you on KZbin. This is the first video I’ve watched. I absolutely love it. The sounds, the scenery, The wonderfulness of it all, your lovely accents, all very foreign to me, a 46-year-old Mum from Queensland Australia. Thank you! I can’t wait to show this to my son. I can’t wait to watch more videos and I can’t wait to get that cookbook! 😊❤

[@tigersbaseball1989]

Yes! Just what we needed! 2 of my favorite dudes!

[@ronnieolsen1199]

[@dillon26]

[@daveh9080]

Look at the boys playing hockey, puts a smile on my face.

[@acceptdestiny6986]

Thanks for the videos. You are living the life a lot of us wish we could. God bless.

[@BT.MediaCT]

Loved the editing on the intro! Looked like a great time.

[@austinsuter1990]

Thanks for putting the Joe Ciaramelli and Jay Siemens love child image in my head, Cal. I was worried I might sleep tonight.

[@piercecorneau8285]

I absolutely love this opening

[@terrybennetts7898]

Perch, small walleye, same family. That is some fine eatin'. And Snort is a happy dog. Great vid. Thank you.

[@TooljunkieDave5215]

Awesome video! I’m almost all caught up on the episodes from meat eater. Scrolling the channel videos and watching any of the ones I’ve missed on this wonderful Sunday afternoon!

[@handlesarestupid1234]

Cal, thanks for all the great content!

[@RileyRossMr]

BANNER FRIGGIN' WEEK. Two different energies between Old Time Hawkey and Bussin' but it all fits so perfectly. Would have LOVED to see Bussin', Hawkey, and Werner Herzog on the same show.

[@randylippert6416]

Fantastic video, one of the best tasting fish on the planet!!👍👍

[@milesbrown5322]

WHAT A COLLAB!! easily one of the coolest things i’ve ever watched.

[@FrontierOutdoorsman]

Great stuff. THIS is conservation and educating others the truth. Love it. Cal is the best

[@jasonmk44]

“Not a perch but I’ve seen largemouth bass like that” From a fellow Michigander I felt that. Awesome collab!

[@LukesFlatFishin]

Come to northern lower mi, plenty of 13"+ around here, seen 2 lb 9 oz two weeks ago.,

[@hookandreelco]

Was NOT expecting this crossover but i am 100% here for it buddy!!

[@JessieB21]

One of the best meateaters in Idaho I've seen! Keep them coming

[@WildSideOfLifeYT]

The colab we didnt know we needed!!! Absolutely shocked too see this, cannot wait to dive right in. Hey there buddy!

[@rabbitriverdecoys955]

Holy Wah! That perch looked like a peacock bass and a walleye met at a Redwings tailgate party and well, you know eh …..

[@stillthesameEvans]

Great time of the year for a mustache competition. Sorry, but Hawkeye has this one in the bag. 😂

[@davestein860]

Great video , best pair of mustaches in the hunting industry.

[@doublelunger1978]

Nice touch with the custard eggs!

[@ScreamiNarwhals]

I remember catching about 150 tiny little perch on that lake one day on the west side about 15 years ago when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite memories growing up.

[@timporter6112]

I love this guy! Fritz!

[@ecv03]

[@scottkennedy6302]

I’m so happy you two collaborated

[@Anchorwing.]

Cal you rock buddy

[@craighoover1495]

I really enjoyed this. I have fond memories of float tube fishing perch here during the perch spawning season with some friends more than 30 years ago where we would cast flies (I can't remember what kind) towards the bank from a very short distance out in the lake. There were 3-4 of us and we would unhook each other's catch and fill up a cooler in short order. The rule was once you were unhooking if another guy hooked up you had to continue to unhook before returning to casting. There were times when one of us was "stuck" unhooking as we struggled to keep fish off our lines. I have understood that there was a boom and bust cycle in Cascade for perch for quite some time. This episode was very fulfilling to me in that it gave me insight as to the possible causes and how IDFG has sought to manage the fishery. I wonder if water quality issues, in particular, the affect of Deadwood Reservoir and harmful algae blooms, might play a role in the overall quality of the fisheries here. PS. You left us hanging on the story of the tagged fish!! This needs a follow-up.

[@rockettube25]

Epic collab. The stache power was overwhelming. Nice pickle rod. My brother bought me the same one. The perch roe doughnut changed my life. Just got back from a lake saint clair, mi. ice fishing evening and tried it tonight. Sad thing is I'm cresting over 40 yrs old and just found out about it from this very episode, although the younger me probably never would have tried it 😂 I could find nothing on a Google search for recipes. Put that in a cookbook! Well done gentlemen. Well done.

[@joshcc1974]

I loved it, great work!

[@byrd5163]

Can't beat fresh perch. Delicious.

[@morrisdomke8920]

NOT MUCH ICE IN MY PART OF MICHIGAN,,SO NOT ON THE PERCH YET .. THANKS FOR TAKING US TO IDAHO TOO

[@hunt_trap_fish]

I've never seen two mustaches quite this majestic. And I can't imagine a more Yooper name than Fritz.

[@bluesteel8376]

I love me some Cal in the Field.

[@Honk21]

Love it!

[@deacondeboer8775]

Could not have been a better tandem of folks!

[@appleseeD552]

Gotta say....well first off...LOVE these vidz😀👍....then secondly....woulda NEVER thought fish eggs would EVER be compared to DOUGHNUTS! TOTAL MIND BLOWER there.🤯 Is this like SERIOUSLY for real???🤯

[@isaaccarroll1327]

The 2 greatest moustache men

[@maniachill3069]

I think Fritz smoked his breakfast. And I admire him for it.

[@StarvingOutdoorsmen]

Worth watching for the mustache glory alone, Snort is a close second.

[@vvaara93]

This is incredible!

[@derekg8587]

Great vintage style

[@redge3726]

I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@TheFadzreeq]

When real buddies met each other!

Thanks for this one buddy.

[@wstout4]

Ready for 39 hrs with a MeatEater team.

[@okeefeoutdoors5598]

What a duo we have here!!

[@chrisa8799]

Its awesome when perch get that big. I've been panfishing for maybe a year, but to date my biggest fish is a Yellow Perch who was unquestionably bigger than the bass I nailed.

[@AAmado1993]

LOVED THIS VIDEO! i have been trying to find a decent fish based dessert for the longest time.

[@jessebarr8054]

There you go buddy!

[@brucet66]
