Monster Lake Okeechobee Bluegills {Catch Clean Cook} BlueGabe episode 1

[@cozy_af2090]

Been watching Gabe since this first video. The fishing and hunting is cool, but honestly there are thousands of channels doing that. Hats off at the table, saying grace, no swearing.... that's why me and my girls are still watching. Same with Rob.

[@russellroberts2356]

My favorite part was the honor you showed our Father by thanking him for the meal.

[@deermeatfordinner]

What a great video, Gabe!!! can't wait to see what you put out next!!!

[@sergiort4758]

deermeatfordinner 💯💯💯

[@miguelcjr777]

Whaatttttt you have your own channel... awesome can't wait to see your vids

[@eligioflores5134]

Nothing like two brothers supporting each other. Big fan of Rob!! Gabe you're doing a great job!!

[@changbang7038]

He sounds just like you lol

[@gregjohnson9681]

Giant bluegills always have a place in my heart😊. Did you brothers grow up on that lake? The Midwest is my home country but I sure wouldn’t mind spending some time down where you guys are! I don’t get around much these days due to my disability! Up here in North Dakota I run up to Devils Lake and get giant pike. Most people don’t like the northern pike but once you learn how to fillet out the Y bones northern pike are just awesome! But nothing compares really big sunfish or bluegills when it comes to bones for bone fight! Not to mention they taste incredible! Most of us northerners don’t have any idea what grits taste like. But you make it sound really good! The one thing that stands out about you brothers is you don’t make any bones about your faith! I really respect that in today’s world! Take care and God bless!

[@friedrice69]

BlueGabe is a LEGEND.

[@charlesbell7036]

Fill the sink up with water and scale while submerged. No problem

[@myqalguluski1015]

Charles Bell I like to do it at the launch site

[@kevinmencer3782]

Or scale it outside and clean up with the hose.

[@jayseaem]

I lost count the number of times I come back to this Video. Childhood memories has me teaching my step son and daughter how much fun I had in the past.

[@marinegrunt7461]

I started as a kid catching those.....30 years later they are still my favorite thing to fish for

[@watchman316ly]

Loved how you n your wife prayed and gave thanks! Amen!!!

[@edwinlopez4795]

I have seen a bunch of your videos and all of DeerMeat's videos. Going all the back to the beginning with your channel. Keep up the great work

[@BluegabeArrington]

Thank you

[@douglasholdenjr.45]

God bless you and your family for praying over your food,& Thanking the Lord for your catch that he gave you.

[@tedchu8888]

I like the evening sky over the lake - just so beautiful!

[@konstantingoncharov377]

Thank you for showing the Lake Okeechobee, great fishing, cooking and especially thank you for prayer at the end. Many blessings to you.

[@tylertyler6112]

Love the video can't wait to see your channel grow and just show the world what Florida has to offer season-to-season

[@ivan-dm9qs]

Hey I am from Ukraine originally, but my favorite food is fried bluegill and a bowl of grits with cheese salt and pepper.. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@jerrylove4844]

Great video Gabe! It’s nice to see a proper bluegill clean and cook. I’ve filleted many thousands of bluegill but if I had to pick one method for big gills it would be scale, head, and score. Crispy fins are the potato chips of the water!!

[@davidlawson8227]

I like seeing how people are not afraid to pray and thank God for allowing them to have from his bounty. Keep up the great job.

[@tmccull98]

good job brother, I love seeing couples fish, clean and cook like my parents used to do!

[@MrBollivar]

Gabe, you are a down home county guy. A great cook. Your are real in any sense of the word, My deepest respect for you and your family. May the Lord bless you and yours.

[@mggiezentanner3276]

Great , we love Robert’s channel and what a bonus now you have a Christian channel too . God bless you and your whole family .

[@coreyg638]

Now that is some tasty groceries! First fish I ever caught was a bluegill at 4 years old. Good ole lakes of central Florida.

[@coreyg638]

Bluegill, shellcracker, and specks (speckled perch) are some of my favorite eating, especially for freshwater.

[@BluegabeArrington]

Great Job, Gabe! I look forward to seeing your channel grow! I go back every now and then and watch my first video on Deermeatfordinner, I"m sure you'll visit this video many times over the years!

[@accordino86]

someone forgot to change accounts lol

[@eddies1541]

Did you forget to change accounts??? I’m confused or were you talking to your future self

[@waynebattey2265]

Every time,I see your s and your brother videos I say it doesn't get any better than this. It's what you do as a family that's what it's about

[@ericsmith1244]

My step dad lived in Florida for a while. he would tell me stories of all the fun he had fishing out there at lake Okeechobee.

[@fluffyone675]

I enjoy watching deer meat for dinner channel and yours as well. Yall are ever family friendly. I now when i watch them with my family i dont have to worried about my daughter picking up a new vocabulary. Thank you to you and your brother for making them that way. O and we can not leave out deer mom!!!!!!!!

[@flippindocks8183]

Enjoyed everything about this video. Well spoken host. Family oriented. The dog! Prayer. Great food. This video has it all. Thank you for sharing.

[@larrypatterson2096]

The catch and cleans are the best. The cooking is always an added bonus

[@ryanhelgerson2829]

Rock on Gabe! Can truly tell you're genuine dude, and I wish you much success with this. I'll be a supporter all the way!

[@russdennis7026]

This reminds me of my childhood growing up in Tennessee fishing old hickory lake. Just about every morning in the summer I would get on my bike with my fishing pole and bucket and fish for bulls all morning long. I would get back to the house and gut the fish and my mom would cook them up for dinner. So awesome!

[@joseleal4023]

Glad to see you on KZbin. Much respect to The differences between you and Robert. My pleasure to be a subscriber 🇺🇸 Best wishes on this platform 👍🏼

[@LdLehmannH]

Wow yes amazingly clear water......can’t you both are so calm standing i this water with gators around....

[@dorawarden4007]

Man this really hit home for me, just brought back so many memories of me and my grandpa catching bluegill out of a pond and frying em up with some grits for Sunday dinner ❤️ awesome video

[@bastermanalu8893]

7:33 what a lake sunset view. Wonderful

[@scragmanw]

If I’m not doing it, in South Carolina, I’m watching it being done by folks like you. Thanks for the video.

[@sioragiannapasirio8368]

Hey Gabe, thought to rewatch your first KZbin videos while waiting for your newest. It’s great seeing how much you grown your channel. You kept going and just being yourself. Glad you didn’t listen to all those negative reviews. Great Job Bro!

Thought I had seen all your videos but this was a new one to me. I grew up country so bluegill fishing is nothing new. Thanks for all the super videos on stuff that interests me. Really respect you not being embarrassed to pray on your videos. Our America would improve so much if everyone would do the same. God bless!!

[@thesouthernblend1356]

Yes! Just subscribed and I’m excited about the possibility of having TWICE as many Arrington videos to watch each week. Pardon me...... THRICE with Deermom! Woohoo!!! I’m excited y’all! Bring on ArringtonTube!

[@deejones354]

Nice job Gabe. I lived off blue gill when I lived in Orlando. Blue gill and grapefruit juice. You know there’s nothing as sweet as a grapefruit goin too seed. You find em in the ground, hard as rocks under the trees. Thanks for prayin bro. That’s the best part. Thanking God for the stuff He gives us. That lil dog seemed right at home on your boat cranking through the weeds. Cool , Dee

[@crossmfarm1925]

Thanks for the prayer and loved your video.... Keep up the great job

[@hunterharrington1639]

For the longest time I’ve been waiting for you to have your own KZbin channel so when I’ve watched all of robs videos I can watch you! Your family is god fearing and AWESOME!

[@robertguthrie1894]

I was born and raised in Florida and never heard of cheese curds until I moved to Wisconsin. now I love cheese curds

[@squirrelgunsmith1131]

Hmmm, we always called it cottage cheese, although granted, home made curds are some different than store bought "curds and whey". Country is country no matter where you go. Ex. a good friend of mine did college at US Military Academy in West Point, NY. He was from around Daytona, FL. He said one time, "You haven't seen a hick until you have seen one from West Point, NY!"

[@hhills8512]

I was raised in Canal Point Florida and we Fish Lake Okeechobee everyday I miss catching those bluegills very good eating I enjoyed the video

[@jasonnorton9604]

Full disclosure, I came across your videos before Robert's lol. Watched a couple hundred of yours but wanted to make it back to the first to appreciate your beginnings. Now I share your videos with my boys, who are close to Jake and Luke's ages, and they are also fans. Thanks again for great content with wholesome values. Keep'em comin'!

[@scottleggejr]

Perfection brother. I grew up in the swamps of Louisiana and Mississippi and cough "brim" till I was blue in the gills myself! You got a new sub out of me!

[@tomvollmer1474]

Fishing part was great, the prayer sharing the Gospel was even better! Great job, Gabe!

[@kingkerce9253]

Lake Okee was once under the ocean and still has mullet, snook, tarpon, cravelle jack and flounder present.Also manatees come in from both coasts.

[@ginnymoon2710]

Had to rewatch to make sure i Cook my first perch of 2021. Thank you so much for teaching and getting me back out in the world again.

[@JoelWetzel]

I'm impressed by how neat and clean your house is; the same goes for your brother's. Since you do so many manly things like hunting and fishing would you consider showing the world, and my son, that real men also clean up after themselves? Thanks, and keep up the good work.

[@prideauto102]

And you cook for your LADY! AWESOME!! also how you treat the FISHES with respect.

[@froggleggers1805]

Crazy the difference in personalities between him and his brother. Quite relaxing, good video. :)

Great video Gabe! And I appreciate you and your brothers committment to honoring the Lord with your videos! Keep it up and I look forward to seeing more from you!!!

[@danielestrella7165]

Thank you for showing me now to cook bluegill. I tried it once and I mess it up by adding egg wash and the corn meal did not cook all the way. 🤣🤣🤣 but I like the taste of the fish. Thank you again. God bless you and your family.

[@drayon30318]

I'm originally from Apalachicola, Fla, but live in Atlanta, Ga now and this reminds me of my Dad and I fishing the flats for bedding Shellcracker and Bream, you could literally see them like you said in the hundreds. I'm going to have to make a trip to Okeechobee in the Spring real soon...hopefully you'll be my guide.

[@CindyHuot]

Nice job Gabe!!! Love that your dating a fellow Canadian!!!! Your channel is going to be a great success!!! Cheers and God bless!!

[@davidpercival9239]

Good catch Gabe I fill the sink almost up. Then scale fish .Helps a lot.

The editing was great, the content was amazing, wouldn’t change a thing!

[@BucketList-zk5me]

Man that takes me back to when I lived in Florida. I love the coastal stuff your brother does, but I do miss gigging, bowfishing for tilapia and gar, and just plain old fishing in the lakes down there. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for taking us along with ya, it was a great video as always, Oh hey and cheese curds especially the salsa flavored ones are the bomb! Ya all take care & God Bless

[@mram7634]

Great video! You should try scaling fish inside a bowl with water in it or do it in your sink filled halfway with water. I use these methods everytime I scale fish indoors or the kitchen. Saves me the trouble from my "significant half" 👍🏼🤷🏽‍♂️

[@thelmacarter]

Great video. Glad to see you cook the fish whole. They are so much better fried whole. For kids, filets are Betty, o bones. The crunch fins and tails are ummm, ummm good! Grits look so good.

[@daniellebarnes7150]

So happy you started your own channel

[@ronnyk6263]

Grew up catching gills with my Grandpa, in Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. We used to clean them your way, but started filleting the bigger ones. Absolutely delicious, battered or just pan fried with a lil butter. Great video. Thank you!

You and your brother make me want to find that faith again. Such good hearted people. I am jealous of your relationships with God.

Nice fish! I scale mine under water keeps them from popping everywhere

[@wadebullard9463]

Nice hack. That would work good for cleaning root veggies without the dirt splatter.

[@jdollar5852]

We have fished Okeechobee many years and as you said the shellcracker seemed to have disappeared...until last year. We got on them HARD in July and again in August. 11" was normal with a few pushing 12". Water levels were beginning to turn but we found beds twice as big as a pickup that were loaded with shellcracker.

[@josephlarsen]

man, throw an egg with runny yoke on those grits - delicious. Looks like a great time fishing

[@sirtedricwalker2979]

Really enjoyed your video Gabe....a fan of deermeatfordinner a few years now and just subbed to bluegabe. No way would I be standing in that water fishin'. Now 2 of my favorite channels.

Born and raised in Louisiana, here we call em bream and what the rest of the world calls crappie, we call white perch. Ya I know that's not what they are just what I've heard em called since I was a youngin myself. Living here in Louisiana almost all my life I'm fairly comfortable around gators beings everybody of water I've ever swam in here beyond a pool has em, but I don't think I would have been wading in that water ya'll where with so dang many of em! haha... Oh and I heard you say Steph was from Canada, and now in south Florida with you. Should do a video about how ya'll came to meet, must say I at least curious, imagine alot of your other subs are too!! Could make for a good vid!

Those are some of the biggest blues I’ve ever seen 🤯🤯🤯 they almost look like triple tails.

[@tanapittsford5067]

We fillet all of our fish in Indiana. No making a mess scaling. Blue Gil are in the sun fish family, but they are their own species. Sit at my table with you hat on, and you'll be sitting on the floor in a heart beat. Lol. That's a Hoosier farmer rule. P.S. I love it, that you say Grace before every meal. Praise God for you and your family. And for Daniel at, Arm's Family Homestead, for introducing you and your channel to me. Fish on!
