Great job Catman now I have to go to the kitchen and make something to eat with my eyes closed while pretending I'm standing next to a beautiful stream listening to the wonders of nature
Catman would be great to see you in West Virginia soon. At the end of the month they start there gold rush trout stalkings, over 50,000 of them and ide gladly show you around. Gold rush refers to a golden trout that yes is actually gold in color look them up then let me know what you think?
You are absolutely right regarding the catch and release practice in our beautiful Tennessee streams. I remember catching good numbers of smallmouth bass, rock bass, and spotted bass in some creeks I fished in the past 30 years, and in many creeks the fish just aren't there anymore due to over-harvesting. These are micro-habitats that require a different approach to fishing than lakes and big rivers. Great video, I truly enjoyed it.
Love the video. You have a great life. Do you do this full time. I’m always interested in if you tubers have full time jobs and if so what do you do. Thank you for all your videos
Figure I have watched well over 30 of your videos so far. Respect. Not just having an old man's knowledge of the outdoors, you have a professional eye with your videography and editing. But the way you just let us come along with you (rather than this being a showcase of your ego) is the facet that keeps me clicking your videos. I knew just how that fish tasted. Thanks.
This is the best catch and cook video man I absolutely love your content I’m currently deployed overseas and this has helped me so much watching your content
I know you have some hunting videos where you hunt with other people, but seems like most of your videos are solo/by yourself. You should take someone with you (maybe less fortunate or someone just starting out) and expose them to this side of life. Could really be a life changer for someone. Something about being able to go outdoors and do what you do seems to open up a whole new attitude in people. I'm an outdoorsman and I'd rather spend a day in nature hunting and fishing than going to any mall or public event. Great video!!!
Nothing like fresh caught wild fish straight from the water to the skillet. Years ago we would do that while sucker gigging in the winter. My uncle had the fish cooker fired up getting the grease hot as we were cleaning them and we ate like kings. Love these kind of videos!
Another great video Catman, I think you and the hunt public are the best hunting and outdoors channel's on RUclips you boys are so skilled for your age... happy hunting and fishing.
Excellent video and you’re right about chef Paul’s blackened redfish magic. I ordered that after you suggested it last year and it’s the best, no more McCormicks in my house
You out did yourself on this one. I know the water and air were as clean as they looked. I've done a few shore lunches myself and that looked like it was REAL good !!! Thanks for sharing.
Catman, that creek bank looks like a Morel Mushroom infested paradise. I hope to see a Morel catch and cook in the near future sir. I don't know about your area, but the weather is looking fantastic for Morels this year. Love the content sir!
Looks delicious!!! Thank God someone on RUclips finally did a bass catch clean cook. Lol. It’s been frowned upon long enough. They are delicious but like you said eat them sparingly.
Luke LaMotte if you watch other channels at all you’ll quickly see they do them aswell and about as often as catman tho I enjoy his far more they are out there tho
Sore Lip City I watch a lot of RUclips and I have yet to see a bass catch and cook. But with that said I have not went looking for them either. But definitely tons and tons of catch and cooks on RUclips.
Luke LaMotte Fowelers makery and mistchief, wooded beardsman, ap bassin, flair, and prob 5 others if I remember them lol but those are a few you can check out if you’d like.
Awesome video Catman! Never tried smallmouth before but I think I will after watching this. On a side note- I was always taught to only put hot water on cast iron right after cooking. I understand you did it to cool it down so you could eat off it (don’t blame you haha) but the iron may crack going from heat to cool water
Scott W. Here in NC mountains we have big small mouth but the girth is where they get us up north ,, our 24 inch smallies will most of the time weigh 5 pounds but up there 6 or 7
@@bobbygreen2291 yeah, I've seen some big boys. My son caught a 2' smallmouth that was huge in northern Minnesota. I've only seen a couple of largemouth that big
Scott W. Yep I’ve watched them catch em up there Al lindler and others and the girth of those northern strain is mind blowing to us down here we do have something bigger down here ,,ruffed grouse are much bigger down here with an average weight of one pound and ten ounces
Beautiful smallmouth you caught there.You cooked a better meal on the river bank then most do in the kitchen.Looked pretty good.Someone will be along soon to bash you for eating smallmouth.lol
That looked like fun. It cracks me up though that you brought a spatula, seasoning, butter and a cast iron griddle but no cutting board or fork. Not that you needed them but it was funny none the less.
The shortsightedness is astounding.
Great job Catman now I have to go to the kitchen and make something to eat with my eyes closed while pretending I'm standing next to a beautiful stream listening to the wonders of nature
Here in Northern Michigan, there in abundance. And nothing taste better. 🎣🎣
Now that was a gourmet dinner with a scenic view.
Can't beat that Paul Prudhomme, got some in the cabinet, time to dig it out. Nice to grill outside so you can get it real hot, it smokes the house up.
Blackening is definitely an outdoor type of cooking!
Got my decal and Hat in the mail today. Now that is how to catch, clean & Cook.....
Mmm...nothing like fresh cooked fish by the river!
Awesome video keep doing some this way
That look on your face after you take a sip of coffee looking out over the creek says it all...good livin’ right there
Sweet vid. Just missing some cold Busch Lights
Reminds me of my home river. North Fork Holston. Has that smaller foot print / Appalachian mountain flow. Cool video.

Perfection
It doesn’t get much better than this!
Dadgum, Catman. Made me hungry.
THat's a lot of stuff to drag out to the stream to cook a fish :) Sure did look good though.
awesome video, very well done and good fishing
Makes me thankful I moved to Tennessee last year! Been here a year now and I can truly say, I'm home! Thanks for always representing TN well!!
U go prepared... I'm hungry now.
Dang, that was awesome.

I love these catch and cook vids, especially when you cook them by the water
Good show
Good looking creek side lunch there sir! 👍🏻
Love the video. You have a great life. Do you do this full time. I’m always interested in if you tubers have full time jobs and if so what do you do. Thank you for all your videos
Awesome
Meal fit for the king :)

I honestly have no clue how you don’t have over 1 mil subs you are one of the better you tubers that are on this platform and are a great influencer
Man that's a good looking shore breakfast. Cool video.

That's what I'm taken bout mmmmmmm
Didnt bring a scale or tape measure but brought half the kitchen lol

excellent day on the water!
And a country boy can survive
That’s a great video man! I love how you use the creek rock as a cutting board! 🤣
Looks like great day outdoors. I tried that blackened seasoning. It's awesome.
That looks yummy Catman I will use blackened seasoning on fresh catfish or crappie
That is a great day and delicious meal. Love doing this

now THIS is a cooking show I would watch !
That’s livin right there catman 👍🏻
Making me hungry
Where did you get that coffee maker/cup. Worked great. Great presentation!
I think I got it at Walmart, it’s a Stanley
I'm really impressed with the quality of your videos. I think I'm going to try this with pan fish instead of deep frying.
You simply amaze me with your out door skills, you have every thing ready for the feast, thanks again for bring back memories of my past.
"Everything"? Beautiful griddle and basic restaurant quality turner but no fork.
Nice and well done !! Can’t wait to make my move to Spencer tenn.
What you’re holding Catman is a Largemouth Bass, not a Smallie😉
That’s an awesome adventure brother very well done 👍 #Country4Life
Another great video Catman, I think you and the hunt public are the best hunting and outdoors channel's on RUclips you boys are so skilled for your age... happy hunting and fishing.
Great video, would love to see more like thins!!!

Don’t get no better living the life
Nice. Hope your not around bears or they will get your meals. Keep up the videos.
👍 very nice simplicity at its finest
Now that was great. You went and got me hungry for fish.
Bad ass
Catman, that creek bank looks like a Morel Mushroom infested paradise. I hope to see a Morel catch and cook in the near future sir. I don't know about your area, but the weather is looking fantastic for Morels this year. Love the content sir!
The only thing that could have made that better would have been some morels to go with it
My mouth is watering. Looks delicious.
Awesome brother looks good
Good job that looks delicious
From start to finish that was Great!
You are the man, Catman! Great video

Hahaha, well then who cares?!? Keep the great videos coming! Turkey season is right around the corner, can’t wait to watch you chase after them!
Most satisfying video on RUclips.
One of my favorite fish to catch. Nice video
Great video!
Those are big Smallies for Tennessee. Usually find em that size up closer to Wisconsin and Minnesnowta.

Awesome video, Catman! I don’t even fish but this video makes me want to reconsider!
Damn good video Cat Man!
I really wanted you to drop those flat stones in the fire and cook on them. Awesome video! Time to go fishing!
Well now I’m wondering why I didn’t. Must’ve been the $9 clearance griddle I found at Walmart the day before 😂
Love this video...
Awesome video
Awesome video mate🤙🏼🇦🇺
