You should try yellow perch. It's on par with bluegill, maybe even a little better.

Walleye they are really easy to catch in the summer in Erie and they 100% taste the best plus they are way easier to clean than every other fish

I love the gills.

Bluegill are hands down my favorite. My tips. Cut thru the ribs when removing the fillet then remove them before skinning. Leave the pin bones, no one will notice. Electric fillet knife works great. Rinse fillets and dust with Cajun shore lunch, dip in watered down egg wash, press into plain panko (kikomans is best) and drop in peanut oil only. I'm gonna send you a fry thermometer. Guessing oil temp is a tough game to play

Walleye/sauger is definitely #1!

Pro tip: after you pull your fish out of the grease let them cool and drop in the oil again for a very short time for the perfectly cooked extra crunchy bite.

Awsome Vid love the gills best aswell

Yellow Perch, Walleye, Northern Pike. Then Gills and Crappie.

I like flounder stuff with rice, crab meat, dice onions with butter baked or fry golden crispy. Love from Houston

Try the putting mustard and lemon juice with seasoning salt in the flour

Great video again ! Thank you ! What kayaks are you guys using ?

Lfg are y'all gonna come out with some ultralight tackle plugs,jigs etc...was wondering since you like crappie (speckled perch)and flair catches small bass it would be awesome....lol....oh and been picking up some googan baits at academy...love your vids and all channels

Gills through the ice will change your life!

If I had to choose from best to good it would go, Trout, Gill, Crappie, Bass, Catfish, Tilapia.

I'm already on fish brain and I'm following most of googan squad

If I had to choose, Bluegill bro are tops when fried compared to the others. Love your videos LFG. Keep your chin up and shoulders back, walk in victory!

so good to see LFD and the cute puppy... hows she getting along with Emmie?.. love it when you guys are at your parents!!!😊🍁 how does the texas crappie and bass compare to candian cold water bass and crappie!!! ...

You and Rob are so funny together ! What a great time ! thanks for sharing.!!

Catfish and trout are my favorites. Crappie and small mouth bass are next in line. I've never tried blue gill but after watching this, I might try it.

Just glad to see a bass fisherman eating bass, so many people look down on you for doing so but a fish is a fish.

Best fish for me is great lakes yellow belly perch and walleye.

Blue gills taste the best!Love em all though.

Florida it's the Mangrove Snapper, but anything with the last name Snapper is good. I like to give all freshwater fish a soak in milk or salted water before frying.

I just tried the Frank's red hot Buffalo wow the family loved it!!!!

😂😂 Just watched the home video, where your making underwater structures with brush pile crap and old Christmas tree trees! And your videoing this "saying stay out of the brush"!! Too funny!!!!

It would most definitely be walleye!

Up north it would be walleye, perch, and brook trout for me!

You should do a Googan squad line of crappie jigs and grubs. I would 100% pick up some.

Walleye are undoubtedly the best just my I'm put and I've caught and cooked many flounder, halibut second , perch , ride along that but I do love crappie there great table fare

Trout, perch , walleye, crappie. Great video.

There is only one thing more adorable and endearing than OSG in all of KZfaqiverse...and it's LFG! LMAO! Seriously, great content brother. Keep it coming.

Fun catch and cook. Like the blind taste test. Bluegill for the win!!!!

I've been eating largeheads since I was a kid, all we do is givem a soak in cold water and white vinegar to sweat out the muddy flavor, do the same with catties and even striped bass when I catchem in the warmer backwaters of the Sac delta when Im danglin for largies. My deep fryer is getting tuckered out this year because the Sacramento delta has been on FIRE this year and all fish are loving the sweet water that comes from the Sierra runoff.

Walleye! The golden crispy’s of the North!

I lolove that you and Rob hang out all the time ,two great guys I tell you what!

More kayak videos please 🎣🐟😊 I use an electric fillet knife on bass and big blue gills. Speeds up the cleaning process for me.

Here in Wisconsin and northern Illinois summer crappie suspend about 3 to 5 feet deep because they are sight feeders and always feed up just set a float for 3 feet above a hair jig tipped with a minnow I like a pink head with yellow hair below a small rocket bobber when the float stands up set the hook I usually drift fish with a 6 1/2 light action rod with 4to 6 pound test along a weed line

here something to try shotgun shell fired with a arrow from a bow

I hit the crappie hard this summer. Bite was good and kept catching them all summer long.

Yeah those catch and cook look delicious

Yellow perch and blue gill. But smelt thru the ice are pretty tasty.

Bold move eating bass in Texas. I like it

Grilled striper, paddlefish steaks smoked with mesquite, and all species fried....

Bass is underrated. Maybe not as good as crappie but easier to catch and clean and very tasty.

We love bluegill in my family. It is a bit of a pain to clean, but it is delicious!

Lmao what was that at 0:22 ? A crash and then someone going "aarrghh !"

In order of my taste preference: bluegills, crappie, trout, muskie, pike, walleye, salmon, perch, bass. though the largest all year tends to be bass so far. It tastes watery like trout to me. Bluegill with the skin on is the most tasty though crappie may be right up there too, for taste. Trout tastes like the water it came from but the texture is nice and flaky and creamy almost. Of the other fish so far I have eaten walleye from the fish counter and it is pretty good. When I catch and cook the others I will let you know. T his week it is cod dredged in egg, breaded with a mix of flax seed flower, salt, black, pepper, turmeric, and crushed potato chips baked to opaque and crispy golden brown. It sticks to the foil so next time it will be parchment paper on the cookie pan or it gets dropped into hot olive or safflower oil. The flax seed, turmeric and black pepper are superfoods for brain health and fight cancer and reduce inflammation, so go for it, equal parts turmeric and black pepper that helps you absorb all the benefits from it, otherwise excess turmeric can be a little toxic. It digests best along with an equal amount of black pepper. To stop tumor growth and shrink tumors add cauliflower. Researchers have witnessed that it does this in mice who have cancer. Riced cauliflower can be added to the batter or bake chunks of it in the batter, or make a baked covered casserole of cauliflower, fish, turmeric, black pepper, and maybe some nacho spicy cheese and roasted garlic. Food is good medicine. I write cookbooks. Will send more recipes if you like. I need the flax seed flour to slow down incurable hereditary tremors, a progressive disease also slowed down by fishing, the powerful stress destroyer. It is nearly salmon and trout season here. I will be fishing the river that flows all through Lansing and MSU campus where I graduated in 1976. They stocked the Red Cedar with salmon and trout a few years ago and there is a good change my winter freezer will be full of them instead of apple-stuffed turkey this year. Turkey was less than 40 cents a pound last year. I am still trying to finish eating the turkeys roasted and frozen then. Still moist and delicious after that because I stuffed them with apples and onions so it actually steams when it bakes instead of drying. The first time I stuffed turkey with apples the meat did not shred when cut and it was plenty hot but still pink with its natural juices. The pectin in the apples helped them stay in the meat. For less sweet gravy though half apples and half onions stuffing makes great pan drippings. You do not have to cook turkey in a foil tent because the apples keep it moist all the way to dark golden brown with crispy skin the way I like it. You can bake it till the bones pull right out and it will still be juicy. I thank God for you and your family. I watch your videos all the time. You are so generous and down to earth. Your authenticity makes them really valuable. My occasional indulgence is Jack Daniels with ginger ale, bottled in some places as Ginger Jack or Jack Ginger. Maker's Mark is tasty and smooth. I pray often that we can see new videos from LFG and your beautiful family for many, many more happy years. Thanks for all you do.

Don’t forget about Walleye! They are awesome!

I smoke my blunts & watch LFG 😂

Yes more catch and cook!

These are my favourite videos💙

Walleye man I grew up fishing a lake that has them like 3mi from us. Then panfish as a whole. Keep em comin man.

I love the catch and cook. I want one of those googan straw hats!

Walleye over all of those although i havent had croppie in a long time

My PB bass in Texas was 6lb mono & a weightless fluke on a spinning reel. 8-1/4 LB Raven...

Is there a way to send you pictures i caught a 9.92 bass on a googan mini recon chartreuse blue back and a 8.3 in 1day?

Can you contact someone with fishbrain and have them add in y'alls lures? Tired of not being able to add those to my tackle box.

With all the fish you fillet, I think you should get an electric fillet knife. It is a thousand times faster. Yes you have to cut the ribs off the fillet. But it still is a lot faster than using a regular knife and avoiding the rib cage

I always cut the gills on mine before I put them on ice too

Gill is always good with grits I thought I invented that lol

Make a wiper catch n cook. Love the LFG family, family is everything.

I'm from Louisiana originally and I've grew up eating bass moved to texas and yiu would have thought I caught and cooked a human lol bass is great to eat

anybody else laugh when he laid the bluegill in the cup holder

1. Walleye 2. Perch/gills 3. Crappie 4. Catfish 5. Bass

You need a silver stag knife. Check them out. DMFD uses them. Got 1 my shelf

Bluegill for sure... Just cut the head off and scaled after they are fried you can usually pull the spine and bones out easily

Love the LFG catch and cooks

To be totally honest you and Rob are my favorite googans lol

Love this video.

Just FYI you can filet your fish same day. After cleaning them pat them dry lightly salt both sides and put in the fridge. It will firm up the meat like your talking about, per Chef Ramsey, 😁. But I've always marinated mine with butter milk for at least 2 hours and it does the same thing.

My birthday was Saturday the 24th, happy bday to your dad

Knowing you have Humminbird on your boat, would love to see a bit of hints for sonar settings in a kayak. I primarily kayak fish and have a Helix 7 SI MEGA G3N and have some challenges getting the range of views dialed in. Fun catching the bass on lighter gear! Crappie fillets are right in there with tilapia fillets for me.. Sweet tasty goodness.

Blackened fish is really good too. Use half olive oil and half butter, dredge fillets and than season. Use either a blackened seasoning, Zatarins or Prudhomes are good. For more genteel pallets try Cavenders Greek seasoning. On a screaming hotvgrill, I've used a cheap cast iron griddle and wish I'd had welders gloves and a long handled spatula. Filets take about 1.5 minutes per side if it is hot enough. I used a mid-sized Weber with charcoal almost to the grill grates kinda heat. Rice and a good fruit salad and you are home free!

MUCH RESPECT to you for respecting the owners wishes! Looks like you had a great time. Did y'all go back for the evening bite?

Nice to see someone else eating bass. I catch hell from some for keeping them.

Whole fry brim/bluegill...hands down. Then white perch/crappie and barfish/white bass. Then....buffalo and gar.

Out of those three... gills but we dont have much in terms of crappie in maine(mostly white perch/bass) out of all fish BROOK TROUT reign supreme in terms of catching and cooking

Used your link for my first MTB. Thanks...And your welcome :-) Curious to see what all the hype is about.

Love the catch and cooks!

Dude, I caught big bluegill on Toledo Bend, but the biggest was on Raven! Prolly pushing 2 lbs! I guarantee it would have taken a 12" iron skillet to fry that fish! I know you know where Raven is....

I love the crappie and white bass catch and cook.keep up the good work dude.

Also next time you cook some bass try doing a wash in some mustard just before you badder them then cook em. That's my favorite way to cook fish.

I love Lake Fork Guy! I definitely try to model my channel after him and LunkersTV!

18:28 might be 15 inches but it's definitely over 14.. 🤣🤣

I’ve been eating largemouth since I was a kid. Grew up on a lake on central Florida. It’s funny to hear you say you don’t really eat them. They’re delicious, a dip in the egg, lil cornmeal and S&P and a grease bath! Serve them up with some grits and cornbread

Walleye is #1 for me followed by bluegill and crappie

Great tip on keeping your catch in the cooler over night. I live in San Diego and when ever I do any off shore tuna mahi or yellowtail fishing I always wait till the next day. Bleed them and keep them on ice till the next day. So much better!

Largemouth make amazing golden Krispies. You guy's need to come to Washington and put a hurt on some large and smallmouth. No limit on the Columbia River.

Keep up the good work LFG 🤣 " are you ready for this fishes...nobody get excited all at once"... lol

0:21 was that rob in the background?😂😂

I'm with @MulletMan on the flounder here in Houston/Galveston! Or reds

Bluegill are by far, the best fried fish ever! Now other means of cooking?? Idk?? I fillet them. But, as a kid, my grandma would fry them whole. The tail and the fins, were like salty, tastey thin chips! Amazing!

when fish are out of the water, are they drowning? or suffocating?

Love you guys! Keep up the good life!!

Sunfish/bluegill and crappie for sure. Smaller bass (when out of the river/lake) pond bass taste kinda ehhhh

Bluegill is so good because it is generally thinner fillets and they cook the most even... Crappie have a sweeter flavor if they're cooked to the same crispiness as the gills, bass needs to be cooked a tad longer due to the thicker fillets...

If you make two slits on each side of the lateral line of the bass and rip the middle out, you will have two boneless fillets per side

Rainbow trout are really good when they are cleaned and cooked right

If you wanna catch some texas walleye you should go to lake meridith in the panhandle. 20” walleye all day!

I wonder if bass is lot better in winter
