Monster Catfish in Alligator Infested Water! Catch, Clean, and Cook

[@masonspaulding6278]

Houston is so lucky that he has so many adventures

[@KellyStokes-i1i]

You're the best fisherman ever

[@amylieber3988]

Omg this brought back some great memories for me. My uncle David and his family lived in Arkansas and Louisiana his whole life after he got out of the Army. Whenever we went to visit them or his family came to visit us in Ohio he always made us these same dishes. There was nothing more delicious than his cooking. Sadly we lost him to Cancer several years ago. I still make his dishes. I was even giggling at the way you pronounce Louisiana cause that's the same way he always did and taught us all to. I got in trouble in school because I corrected my teacher on the proper pronunciation cause my uncle said so cause he was from there. Lol. So many great memories

[@mariacambre8971]

Awww Daniel De Jay & Houston, Now you just gotta say you had fun outside da levee with Jared!! I really enjoyed this video & I'll be watching the next one to see just how much fun it was on the 3rd day. I was happy to see De Jay out with you on this trip. Thanks Jared for showing them a great time. GOD bless you all.❣🌴

Jared is the man! Too cool y'all are doing a collab, can't wait to watch this! Good people, y'all have fun!

[@justcallmesuzzie]

I am from the Houston area and let me tell you that some of the best food I have ever eaten came from some of the families I hosted after hurricane Harvey. To help with the trauma they suffered as they came down I-10 and into our area for safety, I opened up a local commercial kitchen with a supervising chef to supervise and got some of those people in the kitchen. OMG, the techniques those cooks from LA taught us in that kitchen and the food it produced was out of this world, slap yo' grandma, throw your napkin, good! We opened up the fellowship hall to serve the people and the church came out to fellowship and have a meal with them. It was so good healing, good eating, good kitchen technique cookin' time.

[@deborajensen8637]

A flat bottom boat is the best for that kind of frogging and fishing! Lived near lock and dam #18 in Illinois. Went to the river nearly every weekend. Love that life. Enjoy your time there! I miss it!🙏😄🐸

[@kerry17]

So, how'd y'all enjoy my neck of the woods? So happy Outside the Levee could show you how beautiful our life style down here is. Thanks for sharing and so glad y'all come with hopes you found yet another way to enjoy the water. Stay safe and God bless y'all. Later gators 😅

[@cherylcampbell7341]

😢there's no way I d let my son put in water in with alligators.

[@gerrih5857]

​@@cherylcampbell7341That just happens to be their lifestyle. Accidents could happen no matter what your mode of entertainment is. They seem like a loving, hard working and caring family.

[@mccadee5933]

Aw shucks, @cherylcampbell7341 they didn’t put their young man in the water with the gators. He was in a safe boat. Think about it. They actually wade in water with snakes when they’re back home. He was not in danger and he enjoyed a new experience. More power to him. We enjoyed this video and the adventure.

[@donnabowers1317]

I’m beside myself, I can’t believe how much I love this video. I think it’s one of the best you guys have done. Your content is just amazing. What is there not to like I’m telling you keep the camera rolling! I’ve never seen such a muddy bullfrog. I used to go frog gigging with my mom when I was little. That catfish was a beautiful thing to see! When he was taking those fillets and putting them in that “soup” I couldn’t believe it. That catfish should’ve been on the grill, lol 😂 Thanks for sharing, I live through the things that you do because I can’t do them. I had a great time watching your video.

[@calebsmith4567]

My mom and dad passed away when i was 8 and 12. I would of loved to grow up with parents like yall. Houston is truly blessed

Daniel that was an awesome video. The catfish soup looks amazing. Glad you all had a great time.

[@marylou1513]

Totally a different lifestyle from central California, farm country. I am an old grandma and it scared me to death to see Houston on the front of that boat trying to catch fish with all those alligators swimming around the boat. However, really amazing to see the landscape and the beauty of all the water ways. How do you find your way around the water? It's a highway of water routes. Very interesting. Stay safe.

[@karenmiller6711]

The footage you shot for this video was spectacular. Looks like a great trip. And, the fish both fried and “stewed” looks delicious.

[@alansinclair9786]

That was fun! Thank you for taking us along with you! Now I want to go to Louisiana and eat me some catfish soup! Lol!

Now you know why Louisiana is called “Sportsman Paradise” , glad y’all enjoyed your trip, we do enjoy our food here in Cajun Country. Definitely went the right guy.

[@debragreen7272]

Jug fishing at night on the boat is my favorite! Nice and cool and we have a 3M strip that shines when hot with a light watching one spinning and going under and bobbing ! Then scooping it up! We run 12 and rerun them so much fun! A freezer full of catfish! ❤❤

Ok, we watched this today and it caused us to fry some catfish, boil some corn on the cob, cook some fresh green beans from our homestead and fix up a batch of hushpuppies. Well done! We loved some of the faces that Houston made...he doesn't seem all that comfortable with those gaters. 😂

So far this year, this is my favorite KZbin family channel. I enjoy every video. Never guess ahead of the video of what we get to watch. Love it.

Would truly enjoy catching fish like that. But would have to find some beef while everyone else eats the fish. I’m unfortunately allergic to fish.

[@davidbabin387]

Jared is a great guy! He lives just across the river from me. I've been watching his channel for some time now, and he puts out some great content. You guys are in for a treat! Daniel, that's a beauty. You broke the ice on bullfrogs. Enjoy!!!!! LWLF will have to just open an unlimited season on aligators! The only allow one month, so many tags can be gotten during the season, but the gator population is still increasing. Believe it or not, back in the '70's there was very few gators, so they stop gator trapping, or capture in any way. Wasn't long before they took over the marsh!!!!!!!! That is one of the biggest catfish I've ever saw from down here. Enough to feed you all!

I’m glad y’all came check out are amazing wet lands and documenting y’all adventure Louisiana is a great place to be and looks y’all liked Cajun food

[@oneagentfrog]

It is not soup, it's Cajun! My husband makes a similar dish called "Cioppino" starts out with a rue. Using some of the sea water (if you dare) to cook your shellfish and sea-creatures, adding spices and adding tomatoes stewed in spices. no need to measure just add love "to taste"! Perfection!🥰

[@jennifercullison]

Best folks I ever knew and called family...I've been gone from home over 50 years. My motto is still "good friends, good food and good wine" and here in Bama still dont get me..lol..my Louisiana family is still with me even now and wouldn't change the way I grew up in that tiny town on the river for anything.

Weston is home running the water for 24 hrs 😂 He thought the pasture needed watered while you was gone 🤣

I hope you hook up with a rice crawdad farmer. You could build a holding pond below using the pond overflow to flood the rice. Get the seeding crayfish, traps, food outlet, just push the pontoon boat to harvest in waders. Add duck food and a blind.

[@dennismahonchak3228]

Love your trips. This one was outstanding. Keep them coming.

[@gracewashburn8276]

Southern style catfish gumbo because you put that soup over the top of rice, that would be at gumbo❤ And fish put on bread or a roll is a fish sandwich even up here in New England. It’s a fish sandwich and if you make it into a soup, it’s a fish stew.

[@faithieray6266]

The fish soup looked good. The poor boy sandwich looked even better. Houston was a little bit to close the water. Getting those bottles. Kind of SCARY. Glad your home safe .

[@vickibird8007]

Nice to meet you, Jared. I've watched 14 years of Swamp People. I feel like I know exactly where you guys were! Sorry about your hat, Houston. I'm sure the gator thought it was an egret and regretted the meal. Jared's Gator Tail is perfect for the shallow waters. Sorry about the frog hunt. It's almost as if the gators know it's not their season to be hunted. I think alligator farms are required to release 10% of the gators back into the wild once they get a certain age or size. Louisiana alligator hunters actually harvest around 30,000 wild gators a season, but the population has exploded to nearly 2 million recently. Po'Boys and Cajun cuisine are pretty common here in Mississippi. I'm so glad you guys had a chance to experience what southern Louisiana is all about!

A dear friend lived in a very lovely house in Louisiana, but then she has a "camp" in the bayou. Her hubby and boys used to catch alligators on their land/water with a plucked chicken attached to a rope. The alligator would roll itself in the rope and they used a tractor to bring it back to the camp house. It was butchered and eaten like folks north of them would do with deer. I promise alligator is good meat.
