The Oldest Form of Survival on Earth! (Catfish Catch & Cook )

[@ryanbleich8535]

This really hit the nail on the head for me. I grew up in a middle class home. I had the ultimate blessing of having a father, grandfather, grandmother, and mother who understood the VALUE of teaching me WORK ETHIC over education. Education is VERY important. But education without work ethic is NOTHING. I started working at 12 years old bagging groceries in Boca at Kings Deli. I always loved to work; I’ve never been able to sit still. I graduated a year early so I could work more, several years later I started my own business in construction and I’ve been BLESSED. HARD WORK. My grandfather always told me, work hard, show up, and care about what you do and you will be SUCCESSFUL!

I think this vid was so easy to watch as you all jack with each other, those are the best friends you can ever have, quality video Gabe. Regards to you all from Spain.

Isn’t it crazy how quickly you lose interest in any random YT vid and skip cause their shit is so boring

[@poorfatman5317]

Awesome video👍👍💪🤩

[@richardspurlock3300]

We are Floridians and have been camping on the River (Kissimmee) since 1960 as a child. We watched them ditch it and thankfully they have filled in part of the ditch to return it back into the old river run. We spent most of our time from Kissimmee Lake south to about the southern end of the bombing range. Spent a lot of time camping and eating catfish and turtles over the years. We enjoy your videos a lot, thanks for sharing.

[@StuartTheKing]

This is by far the BEST video you have ever done. The authentic genuine discussion in this episode is spot on.

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Yes the best indeed

[@karinbrantner3081]

Spanish moss I like to call "sea weed", in 2004, I worked in a RV resort near I-75. The snowbirds arrived in town as we were still cleaning up the park from to 2 hurricanes, 29 trucks of downed trees after 5 weeks of no power. One of the 1st campers at my desk to check in had never been to Florida, he was from Michigan. he heard all the chatter of the storms and serious ask me. "is that seaweed in the trees?".....I can never see the moss without thinking of that ever again.

[@pawpawdabs6194]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnnyburkett1656]

Would love to see you do a 2,3 or even 5 day survival challenge with Kelly and the kids in the everglades. Eating only what you catch and hunt. Absolutely love your channel and how you stay true to your roots.

[@Coorsive]

I just hate the whole “survival challenges” trend cause they really aren’t “survival”… dudes bring all their shit, tents, knives, camping supplies and a whole camera and cell phone. If it was legit where they only brought their cameras to document and made their own shelters and sourced their own food and really struggled to survive it would be cool but these cheesy survival vids where people bring a gallon of water with them are lame

[@c.j.rogers2422]

@@Coorsive Well, call it "Livin' off the Land" then.

[@blaze2407]

Your videos are like therapy for many... including me. Will love to do something like that. Hope to move to Florida after I retire.

[@lloydryan7716]

Bluegabe and Kelly are "aces" I so love your videos. The advice and comentary during the videos is spot on.

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Yes they’re so cool

[@SubZerov67]

Sitting by the fire talking about life. It's like we are there with you. Great vid blue gabe.

[@lisap3657]

That’s the problem not many have work ethic. The company I work for, we have hired 6 people in the past 2 months and all of them have quit with in the first week. They want the money but don’t want to work for it. Just the traveling alone is working for you and Kelly, packing, lugging everything along is a job in itself. You both rock!

[@kylehagen8124]

All I can say is thank you! Great content and good people. I am moving my family with two young boys from Washington state to Florida at the beginning of the year and every night the boys beg to play your videos. I’m pumped to go from chasing mules, bears, salmon, dunges to all the new species I’ve never seen in Florida

[@jakesandel628]

Hell yea have fun !

[@mengzilla6496]

Wow you guys are genuine people. The msg at the camp fire cooking the catch fish part was great :)

[@tycolella5936]

Keep up the good work Gabe, your inspiration and passion for what you do is just unbelievable

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Yes he did a great job

[@chillymoe0331]

Nice adventure. My uncle used to have a camp down on Lake Tiger. Had some fun there. Beautiful wilderness...Can't ever recall seeing a gator back then (late 60s)...

[@stevenfunk1060]

I Absolutely love all your videos, but really enjoy these layed back primitive style videos. So relaxing...and great advice. Hard work and giving to those in need. The secret to living is Giving!!

[@ScaryGhouls]

I always watch these types videos at 2 am and today isn’t any different. you were one of the first people that popped up when I searched “catch and cook” and this video was amazing man. I also really loved the part when you started talking about working, just shows that anyone can make a living they’re proud of as long as they work for it👍🏼💪🏼

[@pastapaul150]

Looks like fun. Nice job talking about how you need to work hard to get what you want. I tell my kids that all the time.

[@ThydaCookingTV]

So much fun

[@ronnienobles6678]

Grew up on Duda’s Ranch in Rockledge FL. swam with some big gators in the ponds, canals and the ST. John’s river most of my life.

[@czoubek]

While Robert eats giant sushi rolls that are covered in 24k gold, Gabe cooks catfish on a stick over a fire with the good ol boys. Love it.

[@johnnyfeathers2567]

Lol true..Robert will get down and dirty too when he has to… but Gabe just loves it, he’s right at home with a fish and a fire..

Kelly bringing it with the fig and brie though!

[@deesuydam8838]

I hope Gabe and Kelly are okay since we havemt seen a video from him in over a week

[@travisbigboogiesims2757]

Keep up the good work! This was a message that a lot of people need to hear.

[@dylongueits2992]

The advice you gave in this video, is something I really needed. Thank you

[@allengoodwin5462]

Man, when Kelly said "put it on a cracker duuude", I lost it 🤣

[@beverlythompson2577]

In Kentucky what you call a butter cat is called a mud cat. They are strong tasting muddy. We call the smaller speckled catfish Fiddlers. They are a favorite for most people in Kentucky. Just gut, skin, and fry. I love my Kentucky and living by Kentucky Lake, Barkley, and all the other waterways. Living on our farm is the best. I want to go deep sea fishing before our Lord calls me home. Gonna be seventy two this year, so I need to get on the ball. I really enjoy your shows. I love learning new things even at my age. Thank you.

[@sashcraft51]

Always love watching you guys play, fish, dive, and all the things.

[@lonelyjit9658]

I love watching blue gabe even though we are completely opposites I appreciate his videos and his effort to impact and preach to his viewers . Congrats on all your successes my friend.

[@markhunt3459]

I never miss one of your videos! This is what I do each and every night. I log onto to KZbin and hope that I have a new Video from your channel! If you haven’t posted one… I scroll down and binge watch old ones. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@hotrodskyler1]

This is what its about. Enjoying the outdoors and chilling with good friends that you can mess with and they don't get but hurt. Legendary

[@lakehayley7166]

Life had been beating me up a little bit lately. And i really needed the inspiration here in this viedo. I am younger and i have been working dang hard but it feels like not much is happening. This helped to keep my head straight and keep moving in the right direction. Thank you so much. You and your brother are both amazing men.(please excuse any spelling mistakes my phone is broke i can only see half a screen😂)

[@jefflemaster2850]

Hang in there! You truly learn who you are in the tough times!

[@howabouthetruth2157]

I'm 60 yrs old & worked very hard my whole life, from various jobs early on to having my own businesses in the Skilled Trades and a little internet business on the side. And I can tell you from experience IT TAKES TIME......a LOT of time. Lord knows I've hit some rough patches too. There's an old saying: Many if not most successful people are the very same ones who failed the most. But they never gave up trying again & again. It's easy to fail a few times & give up. ( We don't count the ones who were born rich, lol. )

[@davidwilding799]

Hang in there mate life will turn around and you will be better for it👍🇦🇺

[@rickymellomida4538]

Hang in there buddy ! Gabe said it best...with GOD on your side plus hard work and a NEVER to quit attitude...you will make it ! I myself never went to college but make a mid 6 figure income through hard work and dedication. Keep making them video Blue Gabe and Kelly ! My 12 yr old daugther and I love and enjoyed every single one of them!!! Love you guys! Maybe one day will make it there and would love to fish with you guys!:) GOD Bless!!!

[@danny5712002]

This to me is your best video ever. Nothing fancy, just sitting around a camp fire being real. I love how you include your kids a lot. I'm 50yrs old. Live in dfw. Lost my wife a while back. And spend all my free time with my 3 granddaughters outdoors. 6,8,&12yrs old. We are probably coming to Florida in March. Have never seen a gator in the wild. We would love the chance to meet at a bait shop or something just to say hi. Please keep up the excellent work.

[@BluegabeArrington]

If we’re in the area , we’ll definitely make that happen. Sorry to hear about your wife.

[@markroper9269]

Love the snacks!!! Great idea Kelly!! LOL'd....my grandpa used to say peckerwood when he was upset with someone. :P Too funny! Love the talk about education!! I think the work ethic is the driving force to be successful! The second thing, that supports that, is to surround yourself with people you want to be like and look up to! It is both a support network and an inspiration that you can do and be better! BTW...I knew that catfish was going to be good........you can't go wrong grilling fish!

[@got1769]

"For me" this is BlueGabe at his best 👌 I really love to watch these videos showing Natural Florida and it's freshwater environments. Don't get me wrong now,I enjoy watching All of y'alls adventures but this really let's folks see what old school FL is about and how to survive off the land!!! I would love to see you skin some of those "Cats" and have a fishfry maybe with some hushpuppies 😋

your views are because yall have true fans .my daughter love kelly so so much thinks of her like a movie star my wife my boy we love all yall . yall are such great people god bless and keep up the good work yall are doing .

This was a great video, Gabe. The honest, straight talk about the need for hard work and dedication is necessary for this day and age. Keep up the great work.

[@CaptainJackSpearo]

What an amazing little area! Love that! Old florida at its best!

[@terryberg]

Let me start by saying I was raised in northern Minnesota and know a thing or two about fishing, camping and hunting. So I do love your videos. But...... I've been thinking about this particular video for a few days now since I watched it and listened to what you said about dropping out of HS in the 9th grade, and you sounded quite proud of it. I thought about biting my tongue and not saying anything. But I like your channel and Kelly's channel, and even Robert's channel (a little bit), and I just couldn't leave it alone. The cold hard fact is, you got very very very lucky to be so successful. You are so right when you say it takes hard work and a great work ethic, but it also takes being in the right place at the right time with the right set of circumstances. And for MOST PEOPLE that doesn't happen, and dropping out in the 9th grade is not going to cut it. MOST PEOPLE need at least High School to be successful. You talk about wanting to teach your boys to be "men", part of that is teaching them that education is very important, just as important as a good work ethic. You seem proud that you were able to accomplish all this with only a 9th grade education..... That pride lost a little bit of my respect for you. If you are half the man you claim to be, you'll go back and finish High School and get a diploma. It does not take that much time, and you'll be better for it. Your kids will be better for it. I'd love to see you succeed in finishing HS and getting a diploma. That's it, there I said it. (sorry if it pisses you off).

[@jeffhale5891]

I was just like you growing up Gabe. Moose hunted, bear hunted, if it moved I hunted it…Fishing was my world but time and health has taken its toll on me. I just simply enjoy your videos salt of the earth people having fun. Please never stop…InChrist Jeff

[@Vrusley1998.]

Wow Gabe, what an amazing channel you have and I have learned so much while I've been watching your videos I am so happy to go fishing with my family and learn how to use the right bait and the right hooks for the fish I really do appreciate you God bless and what a wonderful catch you caught on your last cast net you throw. I really enjoy yours and Kelly's channel y'all are amazing keep it up Gabe I can't wait for many more videos to watch y'all are amazing and inspirational.

[@15569903]

[@josiahw3219]

👆🏻👆🏻 what he said👍🏻

[@roberttanner7486]

Kinda reminds me of us locals at fernandina in our youth in the backwaters. Catching, digging, netting bait, minus the 1000 gators, we had a few though. No boat just biking or walking to the marshes, poles, shotgun and matches. We cooked and ate everything lol. 50 years ago so don’t flip out about rules, regulations and no cell phone to call mom if you scratched your finger. Hahaha. Oh the good ole days. Great video Gabe.

[@michaeljackson696]

Blue gabe this video is amazing it’s chill and entertaining and best of all it’s just your life keep it up man your doing great just being u

[@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Takes me back to when I was a kid when me and my brother would skip school to sneak onto the golf course to catch catfish out of the ponds. We would dodge the golfers and gators then duck back in the woods and cook our catch over a fire pretending we were survival camping...lol.

[@matthewevans1620]

Nothing better than watching a bluegabe video after recovering and field dressing a deer my wife just knocked down. This is a good day! Keep up the good work and stay safe

That’s awesome! Thanks for following along

[@shawnharriman1916]

Great little gator !! Glad to see you all !

[@cozy_af2090]

Lol.. I've had plain campfire catfish. Some wild mushrooms and dandelion greens taste like fine French cuisine compared to campfire catfish with no seasoning. Everyone should try it once tho, it'll make you appreciate the finer things in life. Like salt.

Yes, I could stand there no problem, I grew up fishing and camping in the Everglades

Love these vlog style videos just having fun all day with good family or friends 🤙🏼

[@jayboss7144]

That video was so bad ass bro!! I can’t believe that little gator was just chillin at the bottom and no joke I thought to myself I wonder what the odds of a big gator chilling below the water is, and low and behold Blue Gabe nets a small one. I would have freaked and lucky you it didn’t look like your net took much damage??? In any case I’m glad to hear your numbers are staying solid. You’re a cool cat for sure. Would love to meet you one of these days. I was at Bud N’ Mary’s last weekend, I went fishing on a charter. I was thinking it sure would be cool to see you, or your big bro, or even Nick Stanzyk would have been kick ass!! No luck though… we did catch some nice fish. We caught a mutton snapper, a couple different mackerel, a few king fish, and a few trash Bonitas. Took it to LazyDayz and they cooked up the snapper for us along with a little king and A little bit of the Mackerel. Had the snapper made LazyDayz way and bro if you know you know!! That shit was fire buddy!! Wow!! Good talk hope you read!! ✌️ let’s go fishing buddy!! 🙏🏽😀🤣🤣😂😂

[@jamesblake7338]

Well that’s one way to catch an alligator 😂 and great inspiration Gabe to the younger kids!

Cut the tips off a palmetto frond for a heat shield and stick your whittled down catfish skewer through it. Or, cut a longer stem. 😁
