LFG: I (Grandpa) agree that catching fish to share with your family is an amazing blessing. In retirement I fish a great deal. I catch and release most fish, but keep an assortment of pan fish for those special family dinners. I pan fry the filets with my secret batter. Grandma and I add cheesy potatoes, a fruit salad, dinner rolls and some times dessert. The time spent with our kids and grandkids over fish dinners keeps us all young or at least young at heart. My grand daughter tells me my fish are “the best in the universe”. I pray we can do this for many, many more years. Just one downside. Once you start this family tradition it takes on a life of it’s own and you will all love it. Stay safe, God Bless.
Pal let me say as someone that grew up with these types of dinners, it’s absolutely the best thing in the world. When a family comes together for good food and great laughs it’s just amazing. I plan on teaching my grandkids just as I was taught to fish to continue the tradition of family time over some great slab crappie.
@@rougaroux2359 Enjoy those dinners to the max. Since I wrote my comment I had a major heart attach and almost died. Don’t wait too long to enjoy those family dinners. The opportunity to have them, with everyone in attendance, can be gone literally in a heart beat. Thank you so much for your comment. Spread the word! God Bless!
@@larrystolzman9337 I do know how soon things can be over. And many may say family is everything to them. But you and I have the same values when it comes to family I see. And brother myself and my wife will keep you and your family in our prayers. And as I’m typing this I am getting ready to take my Dad out on the water to catch some of those big ole pancake bluegills and some slab crappie tonight. We wish you all the best brother and God Bless.
@@rougaroux2359 I know we could be amazing friends. I live in Madison, WI. Are we any where close to each other? Thanks for the prayers, best medicine ever. I’ve caught and released 6 bluegill over 10”s. Biggest was 11” last summer. I hope you find some monsters with your Dad. God Bless!
My wife and I love making crappie cakes! We've made dozens of batches over the years, and many times will make double or triple batches, freeze them on a cookie sheet, and then vacuum seal them in packages of 4 or 6 for easy future dinners. One thing we've learned over the years, is that we prefer to cook the fish first by steeping it in almost boiling water with a crab boil pouch for 15-20 minutes. That way you don't have to chop any fish and can just flake it into the mixture. Also, instead about worrying whether or not the fish is cooked all the way through when you pan fry the cakes, you can just cook them until the outside is nice and crispy brown.
Fellow Texan here from the Permian Basin. My wife also has to eat gluten free going to have to make these cakes for her. Going to target some crappie tomorrow.
LFG, your son Ben is riding our Chocolate Rockin Rider Pony. We are the manufacturer. Love to see your little man having a good time. All the best to your family. 😊
I live in Canada and eat walleye all the time, pretty much once a week and to be honest I love a feed a crappie, I kinda envy you guys down south with such a great crappie fishery. It's funny how you guys just love our walleye and we kinda think you guys got something special with the sweet crappie fishery.
Hey LFG! What about a googan bundle for newer crappie guys? There’s so many options and I don’t know where to start. Would love to just hit add to cart and have like a $30-40 kit added.
Have you tried frying fish in beef tallow? Tallow has a much higher smoke point, healthier, and flavorful that won't take away from the overall taste of fish, but rather enhances the flavor. Pan searing fish in a light layer of tallow is so good.
I am a huge fan of the channel and all the recent videos have inspired me to fish. I am a avid hunter, but never tried to fish, so, what do recommend to start with in your line of product? There is a small lake by my home that supposedly has bass, so ideally the setup would be geared toward that. I appreciate the channel and appreciate any guidance you can give. Oh, love the shorts and agree with your statement, they’re super comfortable. Chad
The air fryer looks like a good recipe. Would you mind laying out the whole recipe or close to it? I'm always looking for new crappie & sandy recipes. I'd probably skip on the kengsington garlic bc of the ingredients.
Hey lfg just watched the video but I have a recommendation for the poppers when I make mine I cook up some flavored breakfast sausage then mix that in with cream cheese and put that in the peppers then wrap with the same flavor thick cut bacon then bake em and eat em
Great video! Hey LFG I feel it's my duty to let you know to please check the model of your air fryer, I think that Cosori air fryer has been recalled due to faulty wire and can cause a fire! Safety first!
So I just started fishing for crappie here in central Texas,maybe they dont like my Virginia smell or something,I have tried minnows, worms,different jigs,just cant seem to connect. But I'll keep at it,they sure look tasty!
Bro! It seriously amazes me at how good you can just find any species just like that! I hope one day to get out on the ole silver bullet with ya and slam some green hogs!
🔥🔥🔥 episode Brother. And I remember when my sons used to try and reach for my frosty cold one 🤣✊🏼🧐! Anywho, solid move with the chunk method, I know that taste as good as it looks. Cheers y’all 🍻👊🏼😎🤙🏼
Ben looked at you like you were crazy when you told him he couldn’t have the banquet 😂. Good fishing in the heat still I like it. I’m over here in Louisiana waiting on my boat to come out the shop so I can get on a few myself
Hi from mike from LA CA. I WAS just watching this video and your son had almost chugged your beer lol. And then he was on his pony by your air fryier opening and closing the cabinet drawer looking for attention. 😂 lol. I like the recipie on your parties. But your parties looked more like a meatball. 😂 lol Anyway loved this episode. Thanks so much for putting g your family and chickens in the video. Your commentary with most of your videos are great when you through jokes here and there. Thank you.
Just curious, my daughter and i have started a separate RUclips channel for fishing, i grew up around lake fork never fished it. i always pond hopped lol. you still doing guided trips or no?
Awesome video buddy! If the crappie baits were on Karl's bait and tackle, I'd of ordered the crap out of them already. I order most of my stuff from there. I haven't seen them on there yet.

Wow, I'm not sure if it's the commentary or what but those sure look amazing!
This “fish cake” series is enticing. Now I’ve got to try to do some myself
These are my favorite videos on RUclips
It’s nice to have a nice catch and it’s nice to catch a few more to give a few away

It's the Comments+1 that makes he difference. 🙂
LFG killin it on the one little bug.
i love the fish cakes make me want to go out and crappie fish. keep up the great work me and my wife love your vids
Just made this tonight for dinner and had the same reaction you did Justin. These are money.
Whenever we make our fish gluten free we use rice crispies instead of panko or crackers. Definitely going to try this recipe!
Yep definitely another of your recipes I'm trying. My wife loves it when I do that
Good job! These would be fantastic!
A great video. Thanks for bringing us along!
Different oils are also better for different temperatures, just in case it helps. 🙂
Hey bud! You got me slobberin' here!!!! That looks laruppin'!
I live in Canada and eat walleye all the time, pretty much once a week and to be honest I love a feed a crappie, I kinda envy you guys down south with such a great crappie fishery. It's funny how you guys just love our walleye and we kinda think you guys got something special with the sweet crappie fishery.
I completely agree. I'm not Canadian, I'm North Dakotain/Minnesotain, and if I'm being completely honest, I prefer crappie over walleye.
havent went on the boat for a while, my grandpa started me on crappie and perch
I would leave the panko out and just go with the crackers. Use just enough to bind it together...that's how it's done in the Northeast.
Awesome crappie adventure, bro! Thanks for sharing the great recipes also! Keep em comin!
Thank y'all for sharing really enjoy your tips and always family appreciate y'all
Hey LFG! What about a googan bundle for newer crappie guys? There’s so many options and I don’t know where to start. Would love to just hit add to cart and have like a $30-40 kit added.
I definitely like the cooking segment of your videos. Learn new ideas
Been watching your channel for a while now keep up the amazing content
Chubie Gruby is my favorite so far here in Missouri
your videos never disappoint. Hope you guys are having a great summer!

Always has the best videos
Your chickens would love those fish innards!
Personally egg, salt and pepper and garlic in a black iron skillet I'm in heaven. But definitely gonna try this. Both methods.
I am a huge fan of the channel and all the recent videos have inspired me to fish. I am a avid hunter, but never tried to fish, so, what do recommend to start with in your line of product? There is a small lake by my home that supposedly has bass, so ideally the setup would be geared toward that. I appreciate the channel and appreciate any guidance you can give.

I love these videos nonetheless. You’re my favorite googan member. Love you and OSG
Try the zipper truck on white bass. They actually have a decent amount of red meat that I hate cutting out
The air fryer looks like a good recipe. Would you mind laying out the whole recipe or close to it? I'm always looking for new crappie & sandy recipes. I'd probably skip on the kengsington garlic bc of the ingredients.
Tried this recipe after watching the video and they turned out delicious!
@lakeforkguy you should give Bandido Crappie Jigs (BCJ) a shot. They have great colors and definitely some smackers!
Hey lfg just watched the video but I have a recommendation for the poppers when I make mine I cook up some flavored breakfast sausage then mix that in with cream cheese and put that in the peppers then wrap with the same flavor thick cut bacon then bake em and eat em
Great video! Hey LFG I feel it's my duty to let you know to please check the model of your air fryer, I think that Cosori air fryer has been recalled due to faulty wire and can cause a fire! Safety first!
Makes my mouth water😊
You should do a Striper and Walleye challenge. I promise Striper is better fried than Walleye and Crappie!!
At least OSG didn’t open up your hatch and say “the dangle darts are right here!”
So I just started fishing for crappie here in central Texas,maybe they dont like my Virginia smell or something,I have tried minnows, worms,different jigs,just cant seem to connect. But I'll keep at it,they sure look tasty!
My local lake up here in PA has massive schools of crappie and the 2" snacky swimmer has landed my hundreds of fish this year!
Great video and I’m going to try that recipe out.
Definitely love your crappie catch and cook. Love your content God bless tight lines!
Found the catch and Cook videos 👊🏼🔥🤣
I am wanting to get into crappie fishing, what size/weight googan jig should i go with?
Awesome video bud! , could you please zoom in on the pulling out the blood line on the crappie.
Bro! It seriously amazes me at how good you can just find any species just like that!
I hope one day to get out on the ole silver bullet with ya and slam some green hogs!
Love your videos keep up the great work
Poach the fish in an old bay rich pot of water, until it becomes flakey. Then mix your flavors on and pan fry!
The only advice I can give is...get or I hope you have a Good mantinance guy. Looks great!
I want to eat those cakes so bad. 😂 yumm ~ Texas
🔥🔥🔥 episode Brother. And I remember when my sons used to try and reach for my frosty cold one 🤣✊🏼🧐! Anywho, solid move with the chunk method, I know that taste as good as it looks. Cheers y’all 🍻👊🏼😎🤙🏼
So wrong to tease !! 😂I’m goin to catch some right now!!!
The food looked 🔥
Ben looked at you like you were crazy when you told him he couldn’t have the banquet 😂. Good fishing in the heat still I like it. I’m over here in Louisiana waiting on my boat to come out the shop so I can get on a few myself

My airfryer I don’t go above 350 keeps from burning the breading.
Cedar plank your walleye on the grill.
You really found the crappie honey hole didn’t you
Just curious, my daughter and i have started a separate RUclips channel for fishing, i grew up around lake fork never fished it. i always pond hopped lol. you still doing guided trips or no?
great! i let my wife watch this with me, and now i HAVE to go fishing. dang it..... hahaha it worked
You make sick LFG. Have not had a crappie since i left Colorado. I am telling you soak them in Buttermilk.
What does OSG stand for?
Do you let your chickens pick at the fish carcasses? My bothers chickens love it.
Googan doesnt have scents/gels/nibblets?
Awesome video buddy! If the crappie baits were on Karl's bait and tackle, I'd of ordered the crap out of them already. I order most of my stuff from there. I haven't seen them on there yet.
LFG
So relieved to hear you coming around to how bad seed/vegetable oils are for you! Instead, use: avocado oil, ghee, or beef tallow to cook with
I wonder if Lake Fork Mom's go to, cornbread, would go well on these cakes? Isn't cornmeal gluten free so OSG can eat it?
LFG drinking a tall
YELLOW JACKET..
BIG Ben Split image of his Mother OSG.
Canadia. That is cool. Ha!
Golden Crispys oN the way🤞.

Bury y’all’s fish scraps in the garden, it’s excellent fertilizer
Hard to beat a double auger tail crappie jig...
YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU'VE BEEN COOKED AT 400 DEGREES FOR 13 MINUTES.😂
LOVE ME SOME CRAPPIE.👍
Bluegill, Rockbass, and Yellow Perch are the best freshwater fish in North America.
I haven't caught 1 crappie in months idk what's going on with them here in kansas
Cook with lard, much better for you than seed oils.
Pork rinds in the food processor become keto panko aka “gluten free”. Tell OSG there’s all kinds of keto products that handle the gluten issue
how did you know they were white bass on the livescope?
love the shorts
Need a crappie kit
Try crappie and trout or salmon when you can get it
OSG got one in the oven?/?
I just want to go crappie fishing with you once
Lets go lfg
When you dropping your own line of dredges?
The new crappie soft baits are awesome but a snacky swimmer or bumpin bug on a jig head under spinner are deadly for any panfish species.
#3 on the way?
I noticed the same thing? I’ll feel so bad if I’m wrong
Idk how you get all the good crappie when I get one the size of and infants index finger
I was more interested in the bowl of Water-malone. Lol
Crappie cake's looked good, but where's the french fries and extra side's? 😅
Now wait a dog gone minute here!!!… Do I detect Rackley Baby #3 in the oven???!?!?!?!?!?
Come on man pork skin Panko’s that’s what she needs to try
The Alvarado oilnis amazing for cooking. Only eggs in a fry pan the Alvarado oil is not the best for eggs.
How do I purchase Ocean Spoon Girl cook Book ?
So just curious. Is Ben going to be a big brother?
