Richard Gene the Fishing Machine intro music for a crappie video. Who would've guessed!!😅😅😅 Keep on! And remember, goooo fishin' when you can 'cuz it's gooood for ya!!!!

Tug Trash Outdoors!! One of the best channels on youtube!!

I’ve never seen crappie that big in my life. Very interesting recipe. Great show. I love you both.

That first crappy that you caught was an absolute stud !! Congrats ! 🎣🎣

1 of these days I'm conmen down for dinner, Tug, Krystal and D. It's only a 15 to 17 hr drive, for it would be well worth it. Love you all, Semper Fi.

Those were some stud specks. I love how real you guys are and your love for the outdoors. I truly relate.

Those were definitely some slabs! As a Virginian, I agree with you about Duke's Mayo. I also love the House Autry breadings.

gabe would be proud nice size you did good y'all stay safe see next trip

Getting them on your own is a different feeling! Solid work

I’m proud of you bro, hell if you only caught 2 that’s still great. To do something on your own and succeed is more than fantastic and I’m happy for you.

I absolutely love that you used Richard Gene the fishing machines music to go Crappie fishing! Great video.

cheers for taking us along

Your videos always puts a big smile to my face. I'm gonna have to watch your videos before I start my day to keep me motivated. Stay awesome and keep up the great videos!!!!

My wife will hear “never question a master at work”. 😂

Krystal with a K seems like she's a trooper! Lips her own fish and everything! Those are some certified slab crappies, my man. Crappie is my favorite freshwater fish to eat, too. Always been a saltwater guy, but I found that I really enjoy catfishing at night. Those big channel cats on light tackle are a hoot!

Man, I love you guys videos. Still got a couple weeks up here in VA before the crappie get biting but I can’t wait. Definitely my favorite freshwater fish. Also love how Krystal, with a K, calls em quiet dogs. My daughter calls em silent dogs. Tight lines and straight shots from VA. 👍

Them hush puppies look so good with them crappy I thought I was getting ready to get a piece ... Lol tug trash 4 life... 😂

Before fish finders we use to crappie fish with minnows under a slip float since they swim in schools we would take one we caught tie pice line to it through the lip and other end to a pop bottle the fish would return to the school and we would fish around the bottle and hammer them

Nocked it out of the park again tug ! Another excellent video!

I agree with you Krystal. Specs are my favorite. I call it a clean virgin fish. Doesn’t taste too fishy.

Crappie…. My first love! I have 5 over 3lbs and many 50lb, 25 fish limits. You’re doing it right! In ca We can only use 2 jigs per rod and 2 rods if you pay extra. Mainly when trolling I pay attention to the wind wave direction, depth, speed (.4-2.0mph) and skirt colors. 4lb test 1/16oz jig @1.2 will run about 8’ deep. 2 jigs @ 1/16ox will run 11-12 feet deep. Remember they look up…. Great series mister!

You done good! Start to finish an enjoyable video. You are no longer a novice Crappie fisherman.

Awesome video, loved how excited the wife got! Hope to see you out there as I live in Hilliard.

Nice crappie zoids!! ME and my husband use to catch 100s of them on lake Altoona in GA. Dang good eating!! We would have fish Fry's and everybody would show up 😊 Thanks for doing great videos. Especially the one where you went camping with the gators. Best one yet!!!

Aloha Ian. Not gonna lie, left Florida after graduating in 92. Pretty much over the ubiquitous fried plates you got. Dubious fish, scallops, shrimp, and copious amounts of tasteless hush puppies. But, I would eat the crap outta that. Just good ole fashioned fish fry!

I think you need to thank Richard Gene, the fishing machine. Your intro song is from his shows and he catches more Crappie than anybody.

Ian I love to speck fish. I fished Dead / Cresent Lake Weds, Thurs, and Friday. We caught over 100. I have a great boat for Speck fishing. Keep up the good video's Love you guys. God Bless

Loved seeing you guys on Bluegabes video.

Beautiful specks! I’m going to try the jalapeno’s in my next hush puppies "

Your excitement is so infectious, like a huge little boy. Great job on those specs!!

Catch them in SC in April up near the banks on deadfall trees and shallow brush. Jigs under corks or Minnows under corks and they are fun!

Congratulations on catching Speck on your own!! Loved the excitement!! So much fun!

Those were some of the biggest crappie I've ever seen TT. Even the smallest on the table would be a trophy here in Nebraska. And your fry looked awesome!

Awesome video!!!! I love crappie fishing and you hooked some monsters!!!!

Tug, Slab City! I’m hungry for some right now, thinking I’m fishin tomorrow morning, great vid bro. Keep Them Rods Bent!

I know I'm envious! Nice to see how thrilled you were smiling like a kid in a candy shop LOL 😊

Hi We just saw you at the Sonny's drive thru. We were lovin' on your puppy. Our son just sent us your video😊

😮 big ones i haven't seen this yet in my state Birmingham Alabama great job respect from 205 pisces black alpha Male Birmingham Alabama home of the civil rights movement

We called giant crappie like ones you caught saddlebags . Or at least my grandpa,uncles and dad did. They some good eating.

The only thing I do different is try putting your corn meal or flour in a paper bag, It’ll keep your seasoning dryer, Especially if you’re frying a lot of fish!

😂😂 I thought me and my dad were excited when we figured it out last weekend … we caught some sho nuff nice ones also and have never done it before in our lives we got to a point where we were dropping them on the deck trying to measure them and they just flop overboard and we would just laugh and catch another one fast as it hit the water absolute blast !!!!!

Now you know what crappie fishing is all about!! I’ll be at Okeechobee 3/3

Awesome video! Our Nursing Home Fishing Team, fished Cresent Lake, and the canal over to Dead Lake from 2-7 thru 2-9-24! Caught a lot of 2lb. fish! My fishing partner and I brought home 97 nice specks! Keep the videos coming, I enjoy them! That dipping sauce looks good, will have to give it a try!

Thank the Heavens you showed up! I was getting bored and then I saw "Tug".....I have entertainment until dinner, yeah!

Seriously, this is making my mouth water. Congrats on the catch! Huge ones! Can’t wait for the next video!!

Love the videos but also the banter between yous!

Use 2 jigs about 12 inches apart, on a loop knot. Put the heavier one at the top. I use 1/8 and 1/16. Thats what works well here.

Dude, those are absolute SLABS! I fish them up north in Wisconsin and they don't get that big! It's super interesting to see you troll for them. We fish smaller bodies of water and jig. But, you are using the same tackle as we use! Jigs and twister tails! Super cool.

TT you are so down to earth, o and miss K to. Love your stuff keep it rocking. I will be in touch

That first fish was a definite mounter!! Congratulations!!

Awesome. I recognize those waterways. Right by my house.

Awesome video, thank you Tug! God Bless you and your family!

Holy s*** that first crappie had to be a 2 1/2 lb that's a citation where I'm from!!

Well you and Krystal caught some 5 gallon slabs of specs!

Thanks for showing the KFRED container. Keep on cookin!! Nice videos

Inspiration to make me get off my ass to go and catch some crappie. My wife is still yet to try the golden crispy. Great video sir.

Looks like you all had a lot of fun catching the fish. 🐟 The food looks absolutely delicious. 😋

Great recipe. Cannot wait to try. Ian, you remind me of my brother. You could have been twins

Paused the video, just got me an 8in fixed with yer code thanks for that sir!!! Watching the rest now!

Crappie is my favorite type of fishing, so relaxing. It is also my favorite freshwater fish to eat, period ! There is a lot of different ways to catch them wit live bait or artificial lures. Hook and bobber or slip bobber or tight line jigging or casting or shooting docks or trolling ( I'm not a fan of trolling ). Great video, looks like ya'll had a blast !

Great video. I remember catching what we called specs or speckled perch in a small lake in Hawthorne, FL with my buddy and his wife scaled em, applied a light breading and friend em up. Pretty tasty but nothing like those you are pulling in.

Thank you for great videos I'm learning a lot watching you cook thank you for the good tips thank you

Love the videos. You have a beautiful wife and daughter and I like that this is a family lifestyle. Without them, it is all for nothing. Just my thought. First saw you with Gabe. He loves y'all and that is kool with me. I saw that y'all camp here in South Kakalaky and that is another plus. I live just southeast of Columbia. Keep up the good vids and more of the Tug Boat ones too. Take care brother. Florida is beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us all!!

Looks great mister. Nice that your girl likes to fish as well. Thanks

Congrats on the SLABS! I'm gonna try that special Ian sauce next time I fry some fish, looked delish!

Great job much love Tug and Kristal. Another great video 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Blue Gabe would be upset with you, not frying the backbones and eating the fins!!!🤣

Tug those were some toads. Loved the video. Stay safe

Those are big crappie! Would love to see a detailed video on how to troll for crappie like that

Don't feel too bad, I'm 56, and I think I only caught maybe only 1 crappie in my life. I used to live in PA, but from what I remember, crappie were kind of rare. Now that I'm a "transplant," you're (hopefully) not one of those types of fisherman that doesn't believe in giving out fishing spots, but if you are, could you maybe just kind of give me the vicinity of where on the St Johns River you guys were at? I don't think I ever saw crappie as big as the ones you were pulling in. It would be cool if I could land my second (but hopefully not last) crappie as that much of a magnitude as on this video. Simply AWESOME bro! However, if you'd rather not say, I guess I can understand it. Like I said though, how about just the vicinity? I would be so thankful and grateful! Keep up videos, my wife and I love them! GOD BLESS!

Tug Trash Congratulations to you man on catching your crappies man. They was huge too. Let go man. You know i love watching you cook man. It looked so good man. Where is your restaurant at so I can order me to go plate. "LOL" can a Truck 🚛 driver order a plate to go please. All that food looked really good man & i am hungry too. Good video buddy thanks you for sharing it.

Slabman release in hot grease. 😂 excellent work!

Another great video Tug, the crappie looked amazing. Cant beat the taste of a Panfish. Thanks for sharing..

Dude, congrats finding them on your own. It took me until I was 25 to catch my first. I was in taxidermy school and I caught what I thought was a monster, a whopping 12” fish! 😂. I ended up mounting it in school… then I moved down gear at 39 and I laugh thinking about that mount now

Hey man them spec's were Nice to I would have been yelling to brother love the videos keep them coming big fan here I live in Winter Haven FL

I always look forward to your videos they give me joy 😊

Great fish catch and fry.

Crappie are awesome eating Not bad on the fillet job. My go to batter is shore lunch. Simple but so good.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

You are always giving great videos . Ilook forward to them. Thanks you.

Those are some slabs. FAMILY FIRST

Rock it Ian. Such good fish. Enjoyed it!

I noticed you got Cafe Bustello gourmet Espresso Roast Coffee on hand! Now I know you're a Veteran Caffeine conneseur as well as a Slab King! Y'all's be my Brand of folks! 😂

Ian I seen you were at Georgia boys. If you ever get a chance try to fix that Robin spillway on the ocklawaha. Right at the spillway. Tie up to the barrels.

Great video learned something and great fish fry really made me want to try that kind of fish but keep up the great work till next time

Not sure when crappie spawn is down there, but that's the time when you can really put a hurtin' on them. That shallow water spawn bite is blast! Crappie ceviche!

OMG I love this video and how you prepared them!! Thank you so much for sharing your days and what you do ! Coming to florida in April, so hopefully my husband and I find some places to go fishing and crabbing :) We are from Maryland, so we are missing the outdoors right now :) God bless!

I gotta try that up here in VA when things warm up a bit. Thanks for sharing

2:34 tank of a speck man!!!

Man, those are wall hangers man…! Keep up the good work! I like the Richard Gene music for the Occasion. Lol

Excellent!! Loved it!

Great video as always Tug! I thought Piggly Wiggly went out of business, we had them in Ky 30+ years, haven't seen one in a long time. After watching this I feel embarrassed that I ate a 3 piece fish meal from Captain D's today LOL but it was good :)

Thanks for the videos man. Entertaining and also can learn something new. This is a REAL channel to watch. Much love god bless

I dream of going to Florida to fish and crab one day

Ian it was good to see you and Krystal with a K , on Gabe's video the other day We call them crappie here in east Texas , but those are ginormous

Amazing fishing bro!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the awesome video!!🎣🎣🎣💯💯💯💯

Got to you through Blue Gabe but man I love you videos! Keep doing you

That was awesome. Those were some of the biggest specs I’ve ever seen. Fried Specs and Hush Puppies! It don’t get no better.

Nice specks, Like your cap, Enjoy your videos from rual central Fl.

Holy Crap 😳 that 1st one is Huge!!
