Fishing for our dinner on a small stream! (Remote Overnight Catch and Cook)

[@curtisdaughenbaugh2214]

A staple of any River Certified catch and cook video: Spencer taking a bite when the fish is still lava hot lol

[@RiverCertified]

I turn into a savage when I"m hungry😂

[@MrCarnutbill67]

My favorite videos are when they cook and eat some of their catch. I’ve fished for 40 years and never did that. Something I shall have to remedy.

[@gregj831]

You can't catch em if you ain't out there and you are most definitely out there! Enjoyed watching it.

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

Get you some beard oil. The masks definitely dry face fur out but the beard oils definitely help with the itching. It keeps the hair and skin under it moisturized. I highly recommend honest Amish, cremo forest blend, kingsmen holy grail, Artius Man campfire and tinderbox (oils or balms).

[@RiverCertified]

That is some sage advice sir. I'm definitely gonna give it a shot!

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

River Certified balms are basically the same thing as oils but are a waxy texture and will moisturize your face pelt longer.

[@rayball1675]

My beard is my trademark and this time of year is where they really come in handy from the cold air in the early morning's. I definitely agree with using the oils to keep the itch down and and also you'll want to use the same style mask you use for sun protection. The typical face mask will constantly push up on your face and annoy the fire out of you. You might also want to invest in some anti fog for your sun glasses from breathing in the mask. Another awesome video man! Keep the great content coming!

[@alanwinge8775]

Thanks for the great fishing video If proves that it is good to have a fishing buddy that cooks and wears a yellow hoodie. The yellow hoodie mimics a giant corn. The fish love corn and it attracts them so the Iowa yellow corn hoodie doesn't spook the fish in the shallow river and acts as a fish attractant.

[@RiverCertified]

I can see the logic in that statement, and I like it haha

Do the stache! Works been stressful these last couple days. I would kill for an evening and night on the river. Thanks man!

[@kevinsoutdoorlife9823]

I have talked to plenty of people where I am from I mention some of the KZbin videos that I watch and they immediately Know Who You Are. I like the fact that you're a teacher because you actually educate people on fishing. I hit the like button before I even watch your video because we always know it's going to be a great video whether you spill the eggs or not. LOL. And those pants that Ryan wears must be his favorite one because he wears those pants all the damn time, LOL well at least in three of the videos that I have seen that he has been in. Great video as always man keep it up.

We always remove the inner lining on the belly meat and THEN it's even better 😅. Great vid as usual. That twenty pounder is about as big as we keep em occasionally. They steak up really nice. Kept a few of this year for freezer fish. We call the big chunks of those used meat section. Keep your powder dry young man 💪😎

The next one I keep over 10 I'm gonna try steaking it. I've heard really good things. I've never considered removing the inner lining. Do you just use skinning pliers?

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

@@RiverCertified I use electric knife for everything. I don't skin em I just fillet like any other fish except when you run the knife along the skin you pull the skin towards you instead of pushing the knife away from you. Then the same thing with the belly lining. I can have a ten pounder filleted and chunked in three minutes.
