don johnson Thank you

Adirondack Cooking Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching.

This is an old one, but I appreciate you watching.

mullz1 thank you for watching. I used to collect lanterns and fix them up it was a fun hobby.

Bill Strack Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.

Cooking With A Little Spice: me too! I used to fry them, but I prefer them grilled now days. Charcoal may be cheaper than oil. Thanks glad you enjoyed the video.

Gary C You are the subscriber I was talking about! I was hoping you would see it! Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed it.

Christy's Cooking Channel: We called 'em bream. But there are several varieties of them, these are Blue Gill bream (brim in GA). Also called pan fish b/c they fit well in frying pans. My brothers and I used to catch a lot at a lake near where we grew up I'd clean 'em be cause I was the oldest and mom would fry them whole like this. We ate a lot on camping trips too. The BBQ Pit Boys have recipe for frying BG filets in butter. I do that often and may make copy cat video of their recipe. Also, Juanelo 1946 cooks a lot of blue gill on his channel with low carb recipes. Thanks for watching Christy.

Big Lew BBQ, It's probably spelled bream in GA too😂😂I spell as bad as I pronounce😞

Christy's Cooking Channel No, I think "brim" is correct in East Coast states.

Oh my goodness, that crash you heard was my chair hitting the floor as I passed out - you never ate them ! Oh you poor thing, by far one of thee best tasting fish I've ever had - hands down. Thank you Lew, I have the same BBQ,love it.you using briquettes or lump wood ? IMHO lump wood is king.

Christy's Cooking Channel same here caught millions of them and never ate one I’m definitely going to try big lews way thank you

Everyday BBQ Thanks man. It has been my best performing video so far. It also has the most dislikes as well as the most likes.

Big Lew BBQ I have you another like to offset the buttheads! I enjoyed it as usual!

Thank You!

Tom Horsman I used to collect them (still do on occasion). I got rid of a bunch when I moved about 2½ years ago but I still have about 35 lanterns and 8 or 9 stoves. You will see several Coleman lanterns in many of my videos. I have them and enjoy using them. I could have worse hobbies than Coleman collecting. Thanks for watching.

Big Lew BBQ Thank you!

Nice tip . I'ma try it thanks

Going to try this tonight

John thank you man! I appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed the video

Jaden Graham Thanks Jaiden I started cooking around age 13. Glad you are watching. Even though I'm 47 I'm still a kid, just ask my wife.

Juanelo1946 I really appreciate your opinion Thankyou. BTW I'm a bit of a charcoal snob.

Juanelo you are so KIND :)

Hi Catfish Nature! How's it going buddy? Good to see you!

It's going great ! How about you ?

👍✌️👌

julio alvaro Gracias, estuvieron rico. Thanks, they were great.

Big Lew BBQ nice

No Hippie BBQ & Cooking Thanks Lyle. I did this last summer. I enjoyed your interview last night.

ArmadilloPepper.com Het what an honor. Thank you.

Do you know what type of grill this is

Mack's BBQ Team Yes, I went out to the pond Saturday morning and caught the 2 larger ones on the first and third cast with a 1/4 oz yellow rooster tail. I thought it was going to be a good day, but then for the next hour nothing! So went in to town (15 miles) that afternoon for some errands, and stopped by the bait shop and picked up some crickets. When we got back about 6:30pm caught 4 more blue gill the smaller ones, 3 catfish and a few small bass I threw the bass back. I stopped because I wanted to get the fish cleaned and cook and video done before dark. That didn't happen so I got a good excuse to use a lantern from my collection. I also grilled the 6 catfish filets and we had a meal. I didn't show the catfish because this video was about the whole bluegill. Thanks for watching!

Meng Her multimeter

Yes not a fan of the profane gas! Thanks for watching!

@Foo Young Did you not listen to the video? He says "Profane" IT'S CALLED HUMOR! GET A LIFE.

BBQ, YES I DO, LOVE IT ALL. I LOVE Propane,.. Wood,.. CharCoal,.. Even pine needles. I love gas grills with a side burner, because it doesn't make smoke and fumes or splatter inside. Besides that the heat buildup in the hot summer is not needed inside. Anyone who knows how to cook doesn't measure??? Bahhh. I know how to turn tender mostly cooked food without the lemon falling out. I wouldn't use tongs on tender fall apart fish, and if I did I would pick it up from the same side that the lemon wants to fall out of. My preference would be to use a thin fish spatula in conjunction with an implement to prevent the tender fish from falling apart as you roll it over. Just sayin', if you know how to cook.

deepfriedking thanks man it is really good, seems like it would work with piggy perch. Thanks for checking out my channel.

The old style Lodge Sportsman’s grill

Smoking with Bush: Oil the grates and oil the fish. Thanks for watching.

Nice nice, I haven't grilled seafood before, but that is something I'll have to try soon.

Smoking with Bush. Stephen Raichlen says if it taste good fried it will taste even better grilled.

The tail somewhat, but for the most part no.

You use a fork to scrape the femur of the spine, just like eating any other fish whole, or bone in but only smaller. Do you whole catfish? How about flounder, red snapper et.

gage gage Said the man with a double name! So OK, Gage Gage ... are you ready...here it comes...prepare yourself... and ...BIG LEW BBQ ONE MORE TIME!

K Wilson I oiled the grate, the fish had oil on it too. It also was a well seasoned cast iron grate.

EazyDuzItBro, Gald you asked, it's Big Lew BBQ, just in case you are wondering. If you want to I can send you reminder emails daily, just so you won't forget.

hahahaha okay ill send you it in a dm.

EazyDuzItBro Of course, and as always thanks for watching Big Lew BBQ.

We played a drinking game watching this video. Every time you said take a shot. Wow had to watch it again because was to drunk to remember what I was watching. Lol. Good video though

Thomas R Sunday not very long.

joanna lanzoni: I don't really know, because it doesn't really matter. You eat the skin with each bite so you get to taste the seasonings. The skin is very thin and easy to eat. Thank you for watching.

aling51 Good idea. I’ve done that with some salt water fish like red fish, but not fresh water fish. So I’ll have to try it.

+paul pham Thank you! They were good.

Larry Stephens You are right I should get another one then I'll have two! Maybe one day ... even a third!

Get the 3060 deep pan. 4 inches deep.!

Larry Stephens Is it still made or only vintage ones.

They do not show on the Lodge web site. I do know that there are Asian knock offs but that's not my thing. I think the 3060 is only vintage. Also I don't think BSR made it only Lodge but I am not 100% sure on that. I restore cast iron as a hobby but no where near the level as some. I have a lot of skillets size #8 and smaller that need a new home. The larger skillets, dutch ovens and chicken fryers sell fast but it seems like I come home with a lot of skillets.!

Lex Sounds Delicious!

Greg Stamatopoulos Not very long, just a couple of minutes or so. I’m hesitant to give an exact time because it varies with how hot your grill is. There was one fish in this video that took a little longer than the others because it was in a slightly cooler area of the grill. Turn them once the fish flesh becomes flakey but before they burn. It doesn’t take very long so don’t walk away. Sorry I can’t be more helpful with an exact time. Thanks for watching.

Rusty KC Yes, I have grilled Crappie, (a.k.a Sac-a-lait or white perch) they are delicious grilled in like manner. Unfortunately my pond is too small for crappie and it has been a few years since I've caught any. Please try it let us know how you like it. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing.

troyalbrecht Thank you! It had been a while since I did this one.

I eat anything really. In my latest video I eat peanut shells.

fishn deac I think they taste great.

sq hunter is that a question or a statement? If it is a question then the answer is yes. If it's a statement then I agree. Thanks for watching.

Seth Winters I used to do 12 inch catfish like that in aluminum. Funny thing is I got another comment the other day about the dangers of using aluminum foil. thanks for watching.

Big Lew BBQ , I never heard of any dangers about it. Been doing it for years and never had any problems with it

Hotep Namaste Zlodge Sportsman grill.

Big Lew BBQ wow you’re awesome!!! You responded so quickly you’ve got a new subscriber!!! Looking forward to more videos!!! Hotep

Hotep Namaste Thank you but it may be a while before I make any new videos.

Greg Stamatopoulos I would suppose you can. I’ve deep fried smaller Crappie whole like this. So I’m fairly certain smaller ones would work. I think larger ones would too, because I’ve seen videos where people have Grilled whole Tilapia and a Tilapia is about the size of a Crappie. (I’m used to calling them Sac-a-Lait. ). Thanks for watching.

Greg Stamatopo. In answer to your question, the answer is no, you can't cook crappie and perch the same way. They might explode. You takes your chances, iffen you wants to.

matthew adams Probably so, but it worked. Thanks for watching.

Take a shot every time he says big lue bbq

Oh man,ur Spanish is good

Zachary Gamble Hey Zachary this is Big Lew of Big Lew BBQ. I really appreciate you watching my Big Lew BBQ channel. But just Incase you forgot you were watching Big.Lew BBQ.

Oren That sound like a lot of fun! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Mike Moore I’m Big Lew BBQ just in case you forgot! Thanks for watching. This was an early video of mine I had less than a hundred subscribers at the time. My daughter did the videoing. I used my channel name Big Lew BBQ at the end of each segment as cue word for her to stop the video recording. Thanks for watching.

william aichinger Louisiana! Welcome

No but I wish I was.

fishn deac Virtually every water around boat docks, rocks & sunk trees in Sacramento holds bluegill or redear sunfish. Just be sure to avoid areas that have heavy flows of current. Try all the backwaters, irrigation canals adjacent to the main river, they all hold fish as well. All of the public ponds at parks do as well. If you really have to, try Folsom. They really aren’t hard to find.

fishn deac the CA delta is choke full of bluegill and readear. Right in Sac and around it
