I haven't fished with hoop nets or caught or eaten Buffalo since i was a teenager growing up in Arkansas. But man let me say those were the best days of my life. We also caught and ate alot of turtle.
I have not eaten buffalo in many years and this brings back so many memories. In my elementary school days in Toronto, my mother would buy buffalo from the Chinese supermarket and use it as a substitute for carp in many recipes. Both my father and I agreed that it tasted better than carp. I moved to a small town next to Lake Ontario in my high school years and walleye, freshwater drum, bowfin, northern pike, and the fall salmon/trout run took over the dinner plate; buffalo were but a distant memory. The way you hoop net those fish are quite interesting, I have a keep net (livewell net) that looks exactly like the hoop nets you're using in the video. Can't wait to see your next video! God bless you Sir! Greetings from Ontario, Canada!
this reminds me of when i was a teenager growing up in arkansas also.saturday or sunday my daddy and grandpa would take me with them to one of the boathouses on the cache river near the town of cash,ark.the people would take a big net and lift up a bunch of big ole buffalos and daddy would pick out three or four and they would clean them and my grandma could cook them so pretty and brown.of course my mother could too.the kids always got the rib pieces so our lil heart wouldn't get choked.they had a boat at egypt and pitts ark.people in memphis where i live frown on the name of buffalo.yours looks like it might be arkansas.love it and thanks.
Bradley: glad to see you back catching Buffalo - gonna be getting some more boneless tenderloins and ribs down near Jonesville next week. We always try to cook Flatheads and Buffalo at every fish fry - my favorites by far. I've never had anybody complain. Thanks for sharing another great video. Cheers - Roy
Some of the Big mouth buffalo caught in the Red River in Manitoba have been in excess of 200 years old. Lifting those hoop nets was always a favourite time of mine when we were tagging them years ago.
Man I’ve had a thief take a bunch of my fillet knives and the no good pos took my electric fillet knife that I’ve had since I was 12 years old and let me tell you brother that black American angler with the yellow trigger had cleaned some serious fish and never gave me the first issue as far as the motor and working within it just the cord gave me a few issues so I took it apart and replaced the whole cord and she was brand new. I went through probably 15 sets of blades filleting those big saltwater stripe in north Alabama and some big catfish too. I even used that bad boy cutting up deer if we had a few of em. There was knives my grandad gave me before he passed away in 95 and some my dad passed on down to me before he passed in 17 and a honing stone that my great grandad passed to my grandad then to my dad then to me and my boys always had access to it as well. I know who done it and got him on video and he’s still denying it so I guess it’s gonna be a shock collar strapped to him as I’m waterboarding his no good thieving lying ass. I hate a thief and when you catch em with their hand in the cookie jar and call em out and they still lie about it I can’t hardly control myself from a killing. It’s gonna get bad bad ruff on him either way. He probably got 70 knives in total and 20 different stones and my high dollar oil stone that had 5 sides and was all contained inside its own box and didn’t have to worry about spills with it. I doing the box for it down at his place all tore to pieces and true to form he lied and said he didn’t get that. He stole hammers and saws that came down from my old men. Anyways nice catch and demonstration fellers. Love the vids bro
Thanks, sorry to hear about the thievery. No place in this world for that type behavior. You get the same lump in your throat when having something stolen, that you do when they tell ya the speeding ticket is gonna be $350
For those who don't eat the back strap due to all the tiny bones, a guy showed me how to score that fileted piece of meat so that when I cook it, all those little bones cook right out. Good eating and the fish doesn't get wasted.
Plenty of Buffalo. You got that right. Another big rise headed your way. It jumped this weekend. Should be down your way in a couple days. Stay safe out there.
That’s some work right there! Great video. I always wondered how those hoop nets work. Great info about the buffalo, I’ve caught a few at a lock and dam Arkansas river. I’ve always heard they’re great eating but never kept them. I might keep one next time I catch it.
Thanks a lot. Id keep one, just follow our recommendations on trimming the red meat off and you'll be fine, and were dropping more videos on how to deal with the boney fillet soon
My local fish market sells Buffalo fillets with the choice of either Boney or Boneless. They come in strips and they all look alike to me. We buy the Boneless to cook. And we buy the Boney to use as trotline bait. Can you explain when you dress these Buffalo how to separate the Boney strips from the Boneless strips?
Actually we have already filmed a new video that will release in the next few weeks on dressing buffalo and how to cut the boneless strips out of the fillets. I won't try to explain it, but the video will be very detailed, and you already know them things so me e fine eating!!! Stay Tuned
I guess you have a fish market you drop off the whole load. I watched one video where a guy had 6,000 lbs of catfish and he had a market for the load not cleaned. Said most was exported after processing. Enjoyed GOD BLESS Know HE has.
A lot of work involved with what your doing. Not a bad pay off though is it. Don’t think some people understand the work that goes into all that !! Good job and I enjoyed your video. Keep’m coming.
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Absolutely ! I sure love sitting down to the table to some fish rolled up in that corn meal and fried golden brown also. Far as the work involved, if you don’t love it your sure not going to be out there are we ! Lol
Buffalo rib meat, fine eating. Had a family member that commercial harvested around lock and dam 19 on the Mississippi. If you didn't have a standing order for rib meat it was gone, never made it to the display case or on the towns circuit truck.
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 I was speaking of the late '60s on. His son took over, he's my age, but I've heard he's retired and none are continuing it after him. You could be on our town square and know it was nearing Tues. 1 p.m., due to all the extra cars parked where he'd park his circuit truck, waiting on him. That business comfortably raised two large generations of that family to be let come to an end.
Man that was a cool video.. I'm out of Arkansas; where about' are ya'll first time watching was just wondering.. That water looks like the white river in parts like places I have been.. Not to mention that dialect much like my peoples. O and I subscribed as well.. Cheers..
I'm not sure if your saying they good or bad, but I think bad. Many here call em trash fish, but I call em Supper and laugh all the way home!!!🤣 I mean people eat Chickens and hogs. Chickens and hogs are nasty as can be, lol
I don't care about how they lived their life, how do they taste when dead ? If you've never eatin lake perch or walleye you might think buffalo are tasty.
You should do it the easy way with hoop nets.Cut you some sasaprase trees big arond a golf ball.Open the net and tye a wire around the pole lenght ways.When its done with two or three poles the net stays open.Tye a rope on each end and throw it out.
We don't have any issues keeping our hoop nets open. That would actually possibly make the net not fish correctly. They are designed to fish in current. The current opens them up and stretches them tight
What does buffalo fish taste like? I've never eaten one. In North Carolina, they were always considered "trash fish". Just like carp, mudcats, bowfins, and gars.
"Trash fish" means I don't know how to prepare and cook em, 🤣🤣🤣. A 5 lb or bigger Bass is the worse tasting fish in fresh water IMO. Other fish over 5 lbs are great eating. So are Bass Trash fish? Not the 2 overs, lol. Buffalo is distinct tasting, so it's hard to describe. Very good eating fish when done like we do them. Meat is delicate and flakey. Sundays video will show a little about prepping them and cooking!!
There are a ton of tiny bones in the fillet. We have done a video on pressure cooking them and making patties already. In an upcoming video we will show how to cut some boneless strips out of the fillet. Stay tuned!!
Wish I had a few of those buffalo to eat love those things i just would like to know how to catch them on rod and reel consistently? I catch a few early in the spring i mean maybe 4 or 4 when I'm catfishing on worms any suggestion?
When you pour out your fish. Are they coming through the throats are they going out the way they came in I'm trying to figure out how you get them out so fast I thought you was untying something. Maybe if you can remember in your next video show us how they come out real close. Thank you my Cajun brother well this is Ray from Foley Alabama. May God bless you and many more trips hope to see more catfish I like the way you play your fish with electric fillet knife that was really good helpful hint. Just a little PS some of your music sometimes just a little bit too loud I like country music
I've been all over Foley. I lived in Semmes my teenage years and Shrimped the coat of Alabama. Man I love Country Music as well. Unfortunately We cannot play copyright music in any of our videos. We very limited on music. It's also pretty hard sometimes to edit by phone, or earbuds and it end up right on a big screen or something, so sorry for that part. Catfish will start picking up a little bit soon. They just don't run hard in the river till around April. The Nets have leads on those throats that hold the throat shape as the nets stretched out. Once that net collapsed, those throats have slack and open up. Kinda works like a draw cord effect. If they slack, I can crawl through there. That's why we pull those hoops together so that net has max slack in it. If the throats are built right they will then dump out. Hopefully I cover that in future video. Hopefully I answered those, and thanks for the feedback!!
We did one video on pressure cooking and making Buffalo patties already. We're also putting out a video soon that will be how to debone boneless strips from the fillet. Some say grinding is an option, but haven't confirmed that yet
@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 I have tried grinding the Buffalo fillets, but in my experience, I have found that the whole fillets and ribs tasted better. One has to really spice up the pattys to get flavor. Scoring does help a bit though.
You can get one at any of the net stores Champlain's or nets and more, or find a local net maker near you by using Facebook marketplace. They will be glad to build you one im sure
Most of what we catch is for us or friends. If you've seen very many of our videos. We are commercial so we can sell legally, but it's a lot of hassle I don't really have time for
Very carefully if you cook that. One of our videos shows pressure cooking and making patties as an option. We also have one coming that will show how to take boneless strips out of that fillet. Man they good!!
We are commercially licensed. This is something I'd be able to discuss outside the comments section. You can send me a friend's request on FB Bradley Smith in Marion and send me a message on messenger
I’m looking to get my hoop nets back in bayou D’Arbone soon but being a fairly new hoop net fisherman I’m trying to catch more flatheads. Is it still a little early right now ?
As with most fish, if prepared right they are fine eating. With all the options we have, I'll take Buffalo every day. They are distinct tasting to me, but nice and flaky. Some people rather take Buffalo over catfish😳
when you was saying BLUES was you meaning blue cats???...do you ever have a net basket nearly full of fish???....how do you two lift a basket full???...do people make soup out of the heads of the buff's????.....thanks....
Yes we get nets packed full at times. That's why we don't bait this time of year. Too many to handle. Blue cats we just call em blues, lol. I ain't eating no fish head soup🤣🤣🤣. Well I might, but ain't ever🤣
I make my own and local net makers. There are several net companies online. Just Google and several should pop up. Also you can look on Facebook market place!!
Depends on your location. If you had Local net makers, I always like that option. If your gonna have to order and have shipped, I'd say a net company. None sponsor us, so I'm not affiliated with any of them and really have no preference
Well, I've been to Tennessee a few times and can't disagree with you there, but the truth is God's Country is anywhere we can get closer to God's Creations, and farther away from Man's!!!

Промысловая рыбалка на всем шаре тяжко-веселый труд🎱 Приветствую уже с не берега Волги🎱😇👽🐻❄️🐧🧊🔥 P.s. будет интерес коры прошлой рыбной ловли утес степана разина🎱
Ловить рыбу вы умеете, а вот разделывать нет! Чешую надо счищать и жарить рыбу с кожей. Так намного вкуснее! Не правильно вы ее разделываете!. Кроме кишок и чешуи ничего выбрасывать не нужно!
You know how to fish, but you don’t know how to cut fish! The scales must be cleaned and the fish must be fried with the skin on. It tastes so much better! You're not cutting it correctly! There is no need to throw away anything other than guts and scales!@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638
Ok, yes, most buffalo for market is cleaned that way. I just don't like the skin on buffalo. Markets here won't even buy it unless it's cleaned the way you say though!!
Here in Russia, fish is sold on the market live, not cleaned. At the buyer's request, the seller can clean it, but after weighing it on the scales.@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638
Oh, well I'm Sorry, all due respect. We caught them and they tasted pretty fishy to me🤣🤣. There are a lot of different ways to fish, and we cover most on this channel. Thanks for watching and God Bless!!
It is absolutely fishing. Our ancestors fished with nets 50,000 years ago. There are four main branches of fishing. Line fishing, net fishing ,building stone weirs in rivers, and hand fishing. You sound like a line fisherman, specifically an angler.
I haven't fished with hoop nets or caught or eaten Buffalo since i was a teenager growing up in Arkansas.
But man let me say those were the best days of my life. We also caught and ate alot of turtle.

I got no clue. Only ones I've ever caught on rod and reel were inadvertently snagged.
What's the best way to cook and eat buffalo? We have a lot here at Iowa as well.
I honestly have not found a bad way. Several ways in our videos. Most people like ribs the best, but the best possible way is in today's video release
When you pour out your fish. Are they coming through the throats are they going out the way they came in I'm trying to figure out how you get them out so fast I thought you was untying something. Maybe if you can remember in your next video show us how they come out real close. Thank you my Cajun brother well this is Ray from Foley Alabama. May God bless you and many more trips hope to see more catfish I like the way you play your fish with electric fillet knife that was really good helpful hint.

Black & Decker
Liked your cleaning of the Buff. How do you handle the Y-bones in the meat? Do you score the flesh? Love the ribs! Great video!

Looking for a net like that for holding fish I caught..where can I get one?
You can get one at any of the net stores Champlain's or nets and more, or find a local net maker near you by using Facebook marketplace. They will be glad to build you one im sure
I see the motor you running , how’s it treated you ?
It's not bad, it just don't like idling. Those motors like maxing their RPMs out I think.
Nice catch. Now that you skinned them all is that meat for your families or do you sell that to a wholesale business.
Most of what we catch is for us or friends. If you've seen very many of our videos. We are commercial so we can sell legally, but it's a lot of hassle I don't really have time for
Nice Miss Son
Yes sir!!
How do you get the feather bones out of the tender lions when you cook them.
Very carefully if you cook that. One of our videos shows pressure cooking and making patties as an option. We also have one coming that will show how to take boneless strips out of that fillet. Man they good!!
молодцы мужики!
Thanks for watching!!
Was there a time when the current so strong to cause the branch that tied to the rope of the hoop net pops?
I always make sure and use green branches. Never had an issue so far
what do you do with the carp you catch???
Chunk them back or crawfish bait. We only eat the Buffalo and catfish
Do you sell extra Buffalo or catfish. I am looking to start a fishmarket in Ruston and am interested. Great catch

What does this fish taste like most people throw them away as far as I know but what do I know?
As with most fish, if prepared right they are fine eating. With all the options we have, I'll take Buffalo every day. They are distinct tasting to me, but nice and flaky. Some people rather take Buffalo over catfish😳
What state are you guy's fishing out of?
Louisiana
Are your locations in Louisiana? Are you sales them?
We work full time and only fish when we're off. We don't fish hard enough to push selling fish
when you was saying BLUES was you meaning blue cats???...do you ever have a net basket nearly full of fish???....how do you two lift a basket full???...do people make soup out of the heads of the buff's????.....thanks....
Yes we get nets packed full at times. That's why we don't bait this time of year. Too many to handle. Blue cats we just call em blues, lol. I ain't eating no fish head soup🤣🤣🤣. Well I might, but ain't ever🤣
What are you baiting those with to draw them in?
They were not baited
What is the bait for catfish?
Cheese/soy bean blocks or cheese
Do you put bait in nets?
Not these
Looks like a fish we call carp? Are they the same
Not the same at all, but kinda in the carp family
Oh wow interesting. Never knew
Thanks for watching!!
what are the carp good for?
Buffalo we eat. They real fine table fare!!
Wher u buy them nets
I make my own and local net makers. There are several net companies online. Just Google and several should pop up. Also you can look on Facebook market place!!
Do you not bait your nets?
I don't for buffalo. Be hard to get them in boat if I did
Would you be willing to sell a catfish trap made from the cattle panel if so please let me know
I don't, but I know a few guys that do that are located in North Louisiana
Where is bet place to buy Hoop nets thanks
Depends on your location. If you had Local net makers, I always like that option. If your gonna have to order and have shipped, I'd say a net company. None sponsor us, so I'm not affiliated with any of them and really have no preference
Human food dogfood or hogfood?
Human food!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!!
What state are you fishing in? I thought God's country was Tennessee. HoHo Roger Camp
Well, I've been to Tennessee a few times and can't disagree with you there, but the truth is God's Country is anywhere we can get closer to God's Creations, and farther away from Man's!!! Most of us are able to get into God's Country if we want, but for those that can't, our Goal is to Bring God's country to them!!!
What a wonderful reply. I hope you know I was only funning in my comment. God Bless you. Roger Camp@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638
I still don't know what state you are fishing in. HoHo Roger Camp
Yes sir, I'm right there with ya!!
We're in Louisiana !!
Промысловая рыбалка на всем шаре тяжко-веселый труд🎱
Приветствую уже с не берега Волги🎱😇👽🐻❄️🐧🧊🔥
P.s. будет интерес коры прошлой рыбной ловли утес степана разина🎱
I can't read this language, sorry
Very true, hard work indeed!! Thanks for watching!!
carp
Buffalo fish!!
Ловить рыбу вы умеете, а вот разделывать нет! Чешую надо счищать и жарить рыбу с кожей. Так намного вкуснее! Не правильно вы ее разделываете!. Кроме кишок и чешуи ничего выбрасывать не нужно!
No idea what this says🤷
You know how to fish, but you don’t know how to cut fish! The scales must be cleaned and the fish must be fried with the skin on. It tastes so much better! You're not cutting it correctly! There is no need to throw away anything other than guts and scales!@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638
Ok, yes, most buffalo for market is cleaned that way. I just don't like the skin on buffalo. Markets here won't even buy it unless it's cleaned the way you say though!!
Here in Russia, fish is sold on the market live, not cleaned. At the buyer's request, the seller can clean it, but after weighing it on the scales.@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638
Id rather fish limb lines
Please Limb fish, leave the trashy Buffalo for us, lol
You are wasting meat there was a meal behind that head a lot of meat exists on the collar bone wastsful just wasteful
Hmmm. One comment their trash fish, the next comment im wasting meat on those trash fish
That's not fishing.
Oh, well I'm Sorry, all due respect. We caught them and they tasted pretty fishy to me🤣🤣. There are a lot of different ways to fish, and we cover most on this channel. Thanks for watching and God Bless!!
That is most definitely fishing. Go big or go home lol
What a daft statement, since when has catching fish not been fishing?
@jimlepeu577 Hoop Net Fishing, lol
It is absolutely fishing. Our ancestors fished with nets 50,000 years ago. There are four main branches of fishing. Line fishing, net fishing ,building stone weirs in rivers, and hand fishing. You sound like a line fisherman, specifically an angler.
Its a shame that with a commercial hoop net all your catching is garbage where are the catfish crappie and bluegill and perch😢😮
Obviously you ain't watched but this one video on our channel, lol
Worst state in the country
For Roads yeah!!
