Who's excited for this series?! Huge crappie, river monster blue cats, sheepshead and speckled trout in Biloxi and then epic redfishing out of Bay St. Louis. We'll also be visiting a fish hatchery, learn about the birthplace of blues and the legendary outdoorsmen that came out of the Mississippi Delta, checking out historical sites and learning first-hand how they harvest shrimp, blue crabs and other fresh seafood. What sounds most interesting to you guys?!
Another excellent adventure. Something I've noticed about your personality when you go out with these guides is you let them be the experts. With all of your experience in fishing seeing your humble attitude is yet another great lessons for those of us who fish all of the time.
Thanks for the kind words brother. I didn’t start fishing til I was 25. Everyone asks how I’ve accomplished so much in so short a time… I tell em because I’m a good listener and never let ego or pride get in the way
Robert that was SO COOL. That Nice Lady was so informative. What a great inspiring tour. She has probably the best job because She really seems so excited about it. That was a Great video. Thanks again
It's one of the southern states that gets a bad rap because of its horrible pass.. However today's Mississippi looks like a beautiful place to visit along with meeting the people from there.. Think I'll visit soon one day!
Appreciate that feedback Brett! I shy away from the non fishing segments a lot because I’m afraid people don’t care. I’ve got another cool one in the 3rd episode coming up too. Hope you like it
Diversity…..this is why I toon into your channel Rob👍🏻 Hope your able to make it just a hop, skip and jump away from Grenada over to Sardis, Enid or maybe even Arkabutlar in this series. I fish all of these lakes on regular basis so really diggin’ you making your way down to see us in MS bro👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words Jay. Sounds like we may come back to MS every year and hit different areas! Stay tuned for the next 3 episodes in this series
I fry em like that all the time and it turns out real nice. Especially helpful since there's no minimum size around me and most of the ones I catch are a little smaller than those big boys.
Hey fellaz, thanks for the entertaining “look at us catch em” video….now then, how bout y’all should’ve educated us and threw us a bone …some real details on how to successfully find/target these crappie at this particular lake….🤔…. There’ll be enough for all of us to catch, tell that Local Grenada Lake Guide don’t worry!…lol! 😅😉 (Sidenote: that damn fried slit crappie presentation is freakin awesome lookin!! Gotta go to Slab-shack and try em like that!!🤩😋❤
Yep, that's how we cook crappie and bluegill at my house and I'm from Arizona but my folks are from Oklahoma .. Wonderful video nice and wholesome! 👍💯🐠
I watched this video and within the first five minutes I was HOOKED! I am from Mississippi and have been fishing for over fifteen years. When I saw it was my favorite fish, crappie, I fell in love! This is the first channel on RUclips that I smiled and laughed so hard while watching! Omg! You guys are awesome! Subscribed!
So glad you enjoyed it! This is the first of 4 Mississippi episodes that I did for the state tourism department. Heading back this summer! I love your state!
I can't afford to do what you do but I get to travel threw you brother thank you so much for real bro at least I can dream and see it right on your videos which are excellent God bless you and your family and God bless all of you who are struggling and homeless because of covid-19
5:18... used to hook up those minnows to catch rainbow trouts...good old days...then filet them...fried after marinating in milk rolled in cornflour...it's heaven. 6:45...decades ago highway patrol stopped us to measure the crappie we caught shd be >than 8" now it shd be a monster🙄
I’m playing catch up. Enjoyed this first episode of the series! One question about your rig though: the thing on the bed of your truck that your kayaks are on… what is that? Looking for a similar solution for my rig as I have a similar travel trailer and two kayaks actually too lol.
Wish I had known about this way to cook crappie. We ate tons of those fish caught by my Dad & I up in Northern Illinois out of Crooked Slough on the Savanna Ordinance Depot/Savanna Army Depot. I got to go down there!
@@YakFishField it’s a blast. Definitely not a big number of fish day usually, but we have gotten some big ones. Northeast Ohio has a couple of the top lakes in the state!
Awesome catch and cook. Not a big crappie fisherman but I have had the pleasure of the wonderful taste. Never have figured out why a crappie rod is so long while my surf rods for bull drum are only 12-15ft? Either way I always love a Field Trips.
Got me over here wanted to try crappie lol. When you ready to come gag grouper fishing!? Don't come to Homosassa/Weeki Wachee without letting me put you on some fish!
@@YakFishField Do it. If you come in the hotter months we go a bit offshore to 20ft. Aim for the Nov-Dec and we target them in 8ft of water using Yozurri plugs. It will change your life lol. I am addicted to throwing plugs at them
My parents are from Mississippi (Greenwood, Grenada, Greenville). We scale , gut , and cut the head off. Why, you want all the meat and generally , meat cooked on the bone taste better.
Curious that the conservation system isn't just fishing based? Sounds like monoculture based on sport tourism. What is Mississippi doing to make the river healthy? Not just attractive to fishing.
I couldn’t include everything in the 4-hour tour… so I focused on the parts relevant to my audience (anglers). As an example, they also breed and stock paddlefish and sturgeon, neither of which can be targeted by Mississippi anglers because they’re endangered and protected.

The Mississippi coast is the most underrated fishery. So many species!
Back to the states! I like it! 👌
I enjoy the experiences and views. Fishing is a bonus.
It was a pleasure meeting you at the cc aquarium. Happy travels!
Can't wait for the coastal stuff!
Good to see you back in the freshwater....
This is going to be a fun series. Crappie, giant blue cats and redfish, trout & sheepshead down on the Gulf coast as well.
@@YakFishField awesome .. can’t wait to see the vids

Thanks so much Jonny. The series only gets better if ya ask me.

Love MS! Such an underrated state!

Hell yeah man! I think I’ll be going back every year
The hatchery part was really interesting!
Appreciate that feedback Brett! I shy away from the non fishing segments a lot because I’m afraid people don’t care. I’ve got another cool one in the 3rd episode coming up too. Hope you like it
Absolutely loved this whole video! The fish hatchery tour was great, thank you for sharing it with us!
So glad you enjoyed it! I want to start including more cultural and historical stuff in my episodes, but always after the fishing

@@YakFishField Jay is Right Arkabutla is a must to fish if you ever want to target catching a 2lb+ Crappie
So true. Something different every week!
god damn, the south knows how to do it. i love crappie fishing and that recipe sounds awesome.
It was SO good 👌🏼
Very educational. Please do more of these tours of hatchery . Thanks a lot!
Some delicious looking slab daddies!!!! Not against the whole frying at ALL!
It was SO good!
It looks delicious. I can smell them cooking up!!
So good! Thanks for letting me watch my own video at your place!! 😂
WOW!!!! Really enjoyed this! great job getting the agenda and activities set up, so good!!!! GREAT JOB
Thanks so much Shawn!
That's the way my grandma used to do her crappie always fried them whole probably one of the most wonderful eating freshwater fish there is
I fry em like that all the time and it turns out real nice. Especially helpful since there's no minimum size around me and most of the ones I catch are a little smaller than those big boys.
Much easier than filleting for the smaller ones
This is like a TV show. Can't wait to watch the rest of it!
Great video! Didn’t know the world record came from there. Wow. What a way to cook crappie. Gotta try that.
It’s SO good

Big catfish in the Mississippi next!
@@YakFishField Nice! I grew up on the Mississippi in Illinois near St. Louis. Catfishing has always been one of my favorite activities.
Absolute banger episode. Glad to see my state did you right on your first visit.
Hell yeah it did! The rest of the series is great too. The Magnolia State stole my heart!
Makin' it happen Rob! Stoked for ya bro!
Thanks Ben!
That is by far the best way to eat crappie and blue gill. Boom grub on! Nice. The fins are the best part also.
SO good. My new go to recipe!
That crappie is so gorgeous 😍 great video!
Thanks Charly!
I can't afford to do what you do but I get to travel threw you brother thank you so much for real bro at least I can dream and see it right on your videos which are excellent God bless you and your family and God bless all of you who are struggling and homeless because of covid-19
Thanks so much Juan 🙏🏼 God bless
Great video! Looking forward to the rest of the series 👍 do more like this!!
I plan to! Thanks man!
What an amazing start to a very cool series. Can't wait to watch the rest!
Great work 💪🏻
I will definitely be trying the whole fried method the next time i get a chance!!
It’s SO good
Ready brother! Need to learn how to catch me some crappie
We learned a ton on this trip.
@@YakFishField this was a cool educational experience. Great content 👌 just added mustered to my arsenal.
Great Video love it.
Thanks brother
Awesome video! I really love this channel because its always something new....and now I'm going crappy fishing lol
Haha thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. Go getcha some!
My Grandma would cook her crappie whole. Old timers sure knew what they were doing.
I’m loving this series Robert ! Keep up the awesome videos
Had tilapia fried that way very Awesome !!!
Ohhhh I bet!
Nice, you inspired me to follow my dreams and start making RUclips videos
That's awesome Esteban!
@@YakFishField hopefully I’ll be booking a trip with you soon 🙌🏻
Hell yeah should stop by the Dam Bar
Never heard of it! Where’s it at?
Just Wow! Talk about elevating every day ❤️👀✊💯💯💯
Spent some time on this one since it’s for the tourism dept. Appreciate the kind words brother
Fish-on, power bro
Thank you
Whole fried Crappy looks very tasty! Need to give that technique a try.
It’s my new go to
great video and info
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video buddy
Thanks cooper 🙏🏼
Good to see you here in the south. Going for big catfish is never a bad time if you get the chance!
That’s next episode! Catfishing the Mississippi River in Vicksburg 👍🏼
Thank you for putting "The Sip” on the map…
3 more ‘Ssippi episodes comin!
Bluegill cooked that way is delicious too
I bet!
Shhh! Robert don't let the secret out🙂
That was a great tour!
Thanks Bill!
I wore my tuxedo and caught a sweet crappie out of Mississippi!! My sac a lait wife!!
Hahaha
Ive never had crappie but WALLEYE now THAT is the best tasting fresh water fish ive ever had
Walleye is incredible. I’d call em a close tie. You should try em cooked this way I bet they’d be great
That's the way we do it down here in Florida
Good stuff
This guy is my idol honestly 🤭
Thanks Joshua
That woman is a Treasure
Yep
Great episode.
Thanks Jim!
5:18... used to hook up those minnows to catch rainbow trouts...good old days...then filet them...fried after marinating in milk rolled in cornflour...it's heaven.
6:45...decades ago highway patrol stopped us to measure the crappie we caught shd be >than 8" now it shd be a monster🙄
Nice
So many questions on the whole crappie fried.
No questions just do it! 😂 Ya won’t regret it
It will be fall before the opportunity. I plan too!
I’m playing catch up. Enjoyed this first episode of the series! One question about your rig though: the thing on the bed of your truck that your kayaks are on… what is that? Looking for a similar solution for my rig as I have a similar travel trailer and two kayaks actually too lol.
I am coming next year
Fried fish bone-in are the best.
That’s how you cook fish. A good sauce on top of that
Yeah what kinda sauce you think?
Live about 50miles from here
Worth the trip!
@@YakFishField yea we catfish more up there tho
Wish I had known about this way to cook crappie. We ate tons of those fish caught by my Dad & I up in Northern Illinois out of Crooked Slough on the Savanna Ordinance Depot/Savanna Army Depot. I got to go down there!
Dang that Crappie looked good!
It was SO good 👌🏼
Rob, isn't your RV a single bedroom? Begs the question who's the little spoon you or Brooks? Lol
Looking forward to this series, great video as always
Haha no I have bunk beds in the back. But we aren’t above cuddling if the situation calls for it 😂🤣
Awesome
18 foot f&$@#&* rod!!!!! Whhhhaaaaaatttt for a damn crappie hahha woah
Hahaha
If your back in northern Ohio, we should chase some Muskie! We have great Muskie fishery’s here!
If I make it back there I’m down
@@YakFishField it’s a blast. Definitely not a big number of fish day usually, but we have gotten some big ones. Northeast Ohio has a couple of the top lakes in the state!
Awesome catch and cook. Not a big crappie fisherman but I have had the pleasure of the wonderful taste. Never have figured out why a crappie rod is so long while my surf rods for bull drum are only 12-15ft? Either way I always love a Field Trips.
I guess so ya don’t have to reel at all, just yank em up
Got me over here wanted to try crappie lol. When you ready to come gag grouper fishing!? Don't come to Homosassa/Weeki Wachee without letting me put you on some fish!
I’d love to target gags! Never have. I’m down to link up if I make it out that way
@@YakFishField Do it. If you come in the hotter months we go a bit offshore to 20ft. Aim for the Nov-Dec and we target them in 8ft of water using Yozurri plugs. It will change your life lol. I am addicted to throwing plugs at them
Who else clicks like on his videos before you even watch them?
Thanks brother 🙏🏼
Thanks for visiting. I never been. Scared of racism. But some of my best friends are from Jackson.
Didn’t experience or witness any racism during our time there, but it happens in every state so it’s certainly no reason to avoid a state altogether
That's the way I like them
Sooooo good
That's how we cook them in mississippi
So good
Something about using 18 foot rods for crappie just doesnt sit right with me lol
right twenty 18ft rods smh
Haha it worked well 🤷♂️
Love all your stuff👍 im in new orleans trying to get big jacks i like saltwater but crappie n bass r cool
The 3rd and 4th episodes of this series are on the Mississippi coast. We get into a bunch of nice sheepshead, trout and big redfish
@@YakFishField hmu if in new orleans i can tell u where the big jacks r
Robert you are the Donald Trump of You Tube fishing.
Your channel is next level EPIC content. You were born for this.
Keep it coming Buddy
Thanks so much Laura
Weiss lake is the crappie capital of
thanks for showing what other people fish for and how they fish in their state. are you ever coming back to the Northwest? stay safe
Yessir, working my way west. Probably be a couple years before I get there
gracias amazing....
Gracias!
Love the show, but the crappie capital of the world is Actually in Alabama, Weiss lake! Look it up
I don’t think it’s a definitive, official title brother. The world record white crappie came from here in MS, so it’s a worthy contender
That big fish the bearded guy lost was his fault cause he didn't set the hook, he was doing the one arm raising the rod like Hercules! 😖
Rookie mistake huh
👍👍👍👍
fins are pure calcium (mini bones) and keratin
That’s how we cook them in Louisiana
My parents are from Mississippi (Greenwood, Grenada, Greenville). We scale , gut , and cut the head off. Why, you want all the meat and generally , meat cooked on the bone taste better.
To me no other lakes compare to Granada and Enon Lakes in Mississippi for big crappie
I fry my crappie whole minus the head. South Carolina that's how I do most fish.
What month was this filmed in? Thanks!
Just asking, why you keeping the big ones?
gray pants brand?
NRS.com
That Sacalait record has been broken 😑
Really?
@@YakFishField yep. RUclips it
@@YakFishField 5lb 7oz!!
@@YakFishField Lionel Ferguson!
most of Mississippi is crappie
We get into SO much more in this series!
where do you purchase a 18' rod?
I have no idea lol
Are you eating the bones too??
Nope the meat comes right off them
The Crappie you are catching is the biggest I've ever seen. Don't get that big here in Washington State.
Thats the only way to cook fish. I would have a hard time working at the fisheries. Since I would thinking about eating them fish all the time
Hahaha same
fox " news" on in the background.
38 minute episode of fishing and cooking and education… and your comment is about what someone had playing on the TV in the background… 🤔🤷♂️
All 40:35 good sir well done ❤️💯
Thanks brother 🙏🏼
Only way to eat panfish. Cooking them whole.

I guess 🤷♂️
