Cool video. Thanks for sharing I'm in Northern Michigan. We have a 2gal limit. I was able to get in a good run this spring. People getting limits for a week! Thawing some smelt out right now for the smoker tomorrow

Stupid that commercial boats can rip tons of them from the ocean and regular anglers get the shit end of the stick for regulations on them

And you're able to eat the smelt with the bones still in them?

In wa you don't need a fishing permit

It only open from 8amto1pm for us

Wa state opened it up for 5 hours of dip netting can't wait it's my first time. I guess there indangered

Going to try this recipe , thanks for sharing.

Great videos, new friend here, just followed you on KZfaq. Great content on your channel. I hope you can follow my KZfaq channel!

Where do I get an apron like yours? The name of your channel is so me. When I met my other half she cooked with teflon but i cooked cast Iron, the cast iron eventually ended up in the garage until I took up cooking again and now she put the teflon in the garage. But I'm liking that apron, would like to purchase one.

Thanks for the video! I love fried smelt, but I also love smoked fish. I purchased some smelt at WinCo, and decided to combine two of my faves. Also I agree with you about using the grill for as much at once as possible. I'm such a Scot. lol I hate to waste anything, and not using up all the heat from that fire just seems wasteful to me.

I like it! I am not able to post from my work pc (ssshhh, dont tell anyone) But I will from my phone!

Love me some biscuits and gravy!

Nicely done!

While I have some issue with the "Happy" part of the title, I still really appreciate this video. My best friend from boot camp died while in service, and my best friend of my life died last year after not being able to adjust to civilian life shortly after retiring (which I personally feel is still an ultimate sacrifice death). When people thank me for my service on Memorial Day it feels like twisting a knife in my gut. I still have days when I wonder why was I allowed to continue on and they weren't. I think every veteran feels at least a little survivor's guilt. I tell people my service doesn't count on Memorial Day. Its hard enough trying to come up with a real response on all the other days of the year when people thank me for my service. On this day, I can come up with many, many responses. The thing is all of them would lead to me being arrested. So thank you for the video. It will help me get through the day.

Well said. I knew someone who died in Iraq. This is his holiday (for me).

Thanks battle. I was going to do this and you covered with more style and tact than i ever could have. Trent

Enjoy the fresh air and all the great parts of spring! And definitely do the pickle sliders 😊

The maple syrup came from grayjay mapleworks. Website is www.grayjaymaple.com

You can email questions to me. [email protected]

Should I make a video about the pickle sliders?

We should make a drinking game out of my videos! Every time one of my pets makes a sound, take a shot!

Looks pretty good to me. I do something similar with steak. mmmmm. homey mustard sauce. Thank you for sharing and new subscriber. Found you on facebook!

I accidentally used a tablespoon of chipotle powder instead of a teaspoon. It was a good mistake according to my wife!
