I just got blue gill and crappie out in petaluma today. Good eat'n

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Nice!

[@iPartyRocki]

Going through your old collection of KZbin videos again and it's so entertaining. You inspired me and my fiancé to get a scuba-diving license and now just a couple of weeks ago my soon-to-be caught a mahi-mahi. Its loads of fun and maybe going foraging for scallops could be even better without having to set up with gear and just going free. To this day, I still have to try them right out of the shell on a reef or something because I imagine they just melt right in your mouth! Take care.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Glad to hear that Mark!

[@Crispy22]

one of my fondest memories with my dad is us catching bluegill by the bucketful. there was a small group of ponds we'd fish, and after hours of nothing, we made our way to the furthest pond. where we proceeded to catch a ton of bluegill. they were biting as soon as the hooks were hitting the water, it was insane.

[@polaris71301]

Great Video . Reminds of Summers with my Grand Father . We would bring cane poles to the creek in his flat bottom boat and wipe some blue gills out . and later a big fish fry with his neighbors in Southern Arkansas .I still get exited when I see hat red and white bobber go down ! Love the channel and your gal is a keeper for sure !

[@TheReptilianSimba]

The fish at around the 4:30 mark is a green sunfish, not a pumpkinseed. Green sunfish are less laterally compressed and have a light yellow margin on the border of their opercular flap. Pumpkinseeds are more laterally compressed and have red on the tip of the margin on the opercular flap. Great video as always!

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks for the identification!

[@Cade786]

You know man! I see that you're still commenting on a video that's over a year old and I gotta say. YOU HAVE THE TALENT! I promise. You've got a GREAT on camera personality that's charming and immediately kind. I caught your vid with a fisherman's life and I had it on in the background. After a while I caught myself thinking "Who is that guy? He sounds so confident and relaxed about this dive". You've got the 'stuff' I really truly believe it. I know I'm just an internet stranger but I REALLY hope that you decide to get back on the making content train. You've got great knowledge and the kind of teaching personality that captivates viewers. It's ONLY a matter of time before your channel blows up. Don't give up on it! And when you've got a million subscribers try not to forget about all of us little people.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks buddy! Much appreciated. These are the kind of comments that keep all of us doing what we do. Spoiler alert... the comeback vid will drop in a week or so!

Because you mentioned the sturgeon in a fresh water creek, it makes wonder what part of northern California, are you in. Nice video still one my favorite fish to fish for. I live bye the delta ,and fish for them all the time.

Very cool to see you using the hobo fishing rig method with just a piece of stick, funny to hear that Diane had already caught 2 before you even started and I wish we could’ve seen that monster sturgeon! That’s also really interesting how you pin them underwater to keep the fish refrigerated, super smart.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks! My dad taught us to pin our fish in the water when trout fishing mid-day on deer hunts in the high desert. It always stuck with me.

[@aarontabib1962]

Your videos never fail to make me smile. This is how I first learned to fish for snappers out on the tip of Long Island, NY. Can’t wait til the weather warms up here and I can start catching dinner again. You mentioned in your last video you’re in grad school, what do you study?

If there is a large sturgeon land locked due to that water dying up you should call your local fish and game. They may want to catch it and relocate it to a bigger body of water.

I made a tin can hobo reel from a baked beans can, a nice thick dowel and two plastic, reusable tin lids. I made it according to Blackie Thomas's design but I made one change and that is I made it so that the opening is at the _top_ of the tin away from the handle. Nice, sturdy and stable. But I live in a small agricultural dorp where fishing tackle is not available. Going to Cape Town in a couple of weeks. See about it then.

Totally agree on bluegill being tasty little things! I haven’t fished freshwater much, but ended up spending a lot of time in the delta this summer (usual summer bay action kind of stymied by covid).

[@AquaRedReflections]

Not shaming for eating small bluegill but given rationale that water will dry up then you were keeping small ones. Does the water not flow out to a bigger body of water or does sturgeon also die as water dries up? Again bluegill are prolific so eat away but original reason did not align with sturgeon presence. Love your videos!

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks for the support EB. That was a good question as well. This spot gets a ton of water in the winter when it is connected to larger river systems, but as the heat of sprong and summer beats down on the small stream, the water evaporates and is left concentrated in two deep areas that form the last remaining pools. Without a doubt there will not be enough rain between now and winter to reconnect that pool with the main stem of the river. I actually want to go back, catch the stergeon and release it back into deep water so it does not die. I am not sure if that is legal, but will ask my brother as he is a freshwater fisheries biologist. Thanks for watching and for the question.

[@AquaRedReflections]

@@catchncookcalifornia1574 Thanks for the response. Sturgeon are awesome and a species tyat should be preserved. The dams blocking migration paths dont help either. Thanks again!
