    The tree in water with trash worked great, i pulled 25 keepers out today, i wouldve never of fished it if not for this video..thanks

  2. It takes tons of practice to fish Crappie in heavy structure like buck brush. The first few times I tried it, I lost about 20 dollars a trip in jig heads and tubes with very few fish to show for it. I switched to minnows and had just as many snags but minnows are a heck of a lot cheaper. For that reason, I use them exclusively when in heavy structure. I am just not getting to the point where I feel confident enough to alternate minnows and jigs.

  3. This works 18 came out of a cup size hole for me last week

    Wow! Out of the hundreds of Crappie fishing tips on the Internet, this is the first time I’ve heard “twitching”. I never have really understood the whole “jigging” thing because I have never seen a fish move “up and down” in the same place. Twitching makes sense. I like the tip on getting through trees too.

  9. hes not wasting meat, if you caught as many fish as him you wouldnt worry about a few ounces of meat

    man this helps alot, i’ve always wanted to keep my fish but never knew how to filet them, thanks.

    i think when u use the electric knife you cut away some meat that you could EAT! great video!

  12. That’s the way we ate them in Ky when I was a kid. I couldn’t stand to pick bones, but it does make for tastier fish.

    I’m a fan of hand filet-ing with a regular filet knife leaving the ribs with the carcas and cutting out just a small vee shaped slit to lose the floating ribs. It waste very little meat. My parents tell me that i’m wasting too much meat. It’s just how I was raised.

  13. How about this?

    I’m offering my most humble apologies to the man in the video. If he would like to come to my neck of the woods here in Kentucky, I would be happy to take him fishing in my old bass boat,

  14. Do you know him? How can you make that kind of judgment about him without knowing him?

    you are so right, i bet he worked very hard for that huge mansion in the back. i wish/hope someday i’ll be that successful, im workin hard at it though!!!

    see kids thats what you get when you go to school and get a good education!

    I’m from the deep south, so i grew up picking bones on panfish. I like the fillets, but i like picking those rib bones, I won’t fillet a bluegill. Just head off, and split butterfly style.

  17. I don’t know who he is, but if he came from humble beginnings His waste of meat suggests he has forgotten them.

    I’m not trying to insult the guy, I’m just pointing out that rich people lose thier edge they tend to rely on electric knives. Nobody knows when the situation may arise where you have to have and use survival skills. That’s why we hunt and fish, to hone our skills, in case it comes down to depending on them. If your stuck in the boonies every last scrap of meat is crucial.

    Nice. How bout you post a video and show him how to clean fish and sharpen knives. – Don’t be angry cuz that man put in years of hard work and long hours to get where he is today. I don’t see the need for him to survive in the woods. Looks like he can catch enough fish to feed the whole town.

  19. Rich guy was never taught to conserve food. He wastes a lot of meat.
    I bet he couldn’t survive a few days in the woods, without an electric knife.
    I bet when his knives get dull, he buys more, Instead of sharpening them.
