Crawfish and Trout Cookout on the Appalachian Trail!

What's going on my friends, welcome to the Appalachian Mountains, specifically the Appalachian Trail? I'm literally standing on the

trail

right now. It comes this way and then turns this way and goes down a path that way. I'm not going to walk the whole thing. I'm only going through one segment because this segment follows a current that I want to fish, so it should be a really fun adventure, but before we start, we basically do more fan mail unboxings and we don't wait that long, we don't wait six months to do it. It's because you spend a lot of time and money putting them together.

Someone spent 11 dollars and 55 cents on this box to send it to me. It's actually from Glenn from Lakeland, Florida, so we pooled the time to put them together. Together this box and I just don't, I just delayed opening them, I don't want to be anymore. I'll try to be more faithful when opening fan mail and oh wow, this is a good box. wow, this is it, there's a lot of interesting stuff here wow, very well packaged, a booyah pad crasher frog accent, you know I need another frog because the one I have has a really bad tail, that's perfect, perfect timing, now we have your dare. q sweet rub pork chicken beef or seafood very good could use some of this today sassy q island rub two different flavors of sassy q I've never heard of cubiform sassy maybe it's a Florida thing ah this is a Florida thing for sure uh crab and shrimp boil you I know what this could be perfect for today because I have crabs that I could catch here in this creek if you don't have a snagless swim bait with sleeper gills, that's great.

I have never heard of a swimbait with sleeping gills. Great, I have two. things to fish in florida or any kind of place where there are a lot of um you know, a lot of mats and grass habanero hot sauce sa is that it says cheese that's how you say it says chee made with sweet avocado oil thank you very much glenn oh and a letter here let me see this sometimes they are confidential sometimes people say more private things here thank you very much glenn I appreciate the whole story and everything that is there for you here are a couple of interesting things about Glenn he was in the military around the same time as me father in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983.

He especially likes

trout

and crab videos and that's what we're going to do today. Hopefully we can catch some. Thank you Glenn for all this and the letter. I'm glad I opened. It doesn't have a name on this one but I think it's fix this or fix it fix it or fix this is the name on my membership page yeah okay it said they're going to send me these these are some special shirts hello how are you All alright? Look at this, so I can't remember if it's fix it or fix it. One of those two check out these custom t-shirts they made.

Thank you so much. Look, says ace and. videos on the sleeve, a great looking striper at the time for my dad, he looks on the sleeve, he says I'm old and big, those are super cool, I appreciate it, thank you very much, now this is what I love and the will wear. I sure love the material they have, but when I'm fishing these little

trout

streams, I usually don't want to wear anything too bright because it just gives you away and that's why I have black, sometimes I use camo. but you know, like black, it just blends in with anything green, so I'm not going to use these today, but thank you very much, now let's take a little walk and see if we can find out that I've actually never fished here before.

I just saw this place once so let's see what we can find this looks good oh this is so much fun guys this is so much fun I love fishing in the mountains try to scrap that was pretty good just right behind our rock, oh. You know what I'm doing, I'm doing something wrong here, ladies and gentlemen, I'm throwing out one of my tubes, my trout tubes, and I'm not even using the Dry Creek Outfitters trophy bass gel scent, which is one of the best scents in the world and you will get many more bites when you use this and when you check the Ace video tube tackle box in the description you will see this scent right next to trout and bass and even the crabs love it you know that is invented. of ground crab so guys check it out okay this is important right here look at what's crawling in the water a black and yellow bee I have a black and yellow lure that I'll show you in a moment and this is one of the reasons trout love the black and yellow pattern so much i don't know why this guy is in the water but we're crawling on a stick to get a little rain here but it's okay it's kind of a stormy day scattered electric So look at these three of them three flying around me.

Wow, if that's not good luck, I don't know what is, you know, my friends, I think I'm doing it wrong. I'm making the typical bad first move. I'm fishing. too close to the

trail

head too close to the parking lot what I have to do is walk a little bit and then fish the stream normally, the easier it is to get to a spot the worse the fishing will be because everyone stops there to fish first. This is cool to walk through these, it's like a divide dividing the rocks. I feel like an l for an orc or something should jump up and be in any second, so we'll make a decision here.

That way is the main path, but I listened. a waterfall this way and I've never been down here so you guys hear the water running see what's down here oh look at this this is almost like a swimming hole here look at this cool these are little waterfalls up there waterfalls here I just work, work, my way around here, I've never fished here in my life, friends, oh, there's a trout right there, there's a trout, I just saw a really nice trout there, I scared a trout or something, I scared a fish Let's put it that way, you know what, ladies?

And gentlemen, I'm not too proud, sometimes my trunks just don't work as well as they should, so I'm going to put out some live bait here, I can find some, oh, look at that big whole worm that just showed up, look at that nice night. tracker there so take the tube off me and put the whole worm in or just separate it okay let's see if the night tracker catches that fish because there's definitely a good one down there that fish is looking at it boy the fish is skittish even I removed the sinker from the night crawler completely.

I only have a weightless night crawler. If this doesn't catch it, this fish won't bite. I'm going to be small. This fish has surpassed me. It's a complicated and complicated fish. Right there, it's smart. The fish make me want to do it more. to catch them, look at these guys, look at this, it looks excellent, it looks so trout, okay, using the worm, here we go, oh, that one was very good, oh, that one showed up and when I was about to do it. Take it out of the water and stick it, caught it, caught it, look, it's already at the waterfall, look at that, oh, look at this, yeah, look at that, come here, yeah, the first rainbow of the day, that's what what I'm talking about. and a good keeper too, it's a solid fish for a stream like this, about 13 inches or so, yeah, switch to the worm, I'm not a very proud people and I've been catching fish on bait since the dawn of man, ain't it a shame lures be the thing that's new look at that beautiful mountain rainbow trout and it's going to be so delicious let me knock it out look at that I know everyone has their favorite things but fishing in a new place like this beautiful stream in the mountains this is what I love wow oh look at that look at that again there's a wasp that's why the black and yellow are so good they're just a wasp walking those wasps also go down to the river to drink and they land on the surface and everything and the trout, grab them, then guys, check it out, I was just scanning, there's garbage in here, unfortunately, well look, someone left the folding pan and it looks like they had a nice fire going, someone else caught fish and cooked right here or maybe they brought food with it, huh, well I got a free frying pan as part of the deal, okay, my friends had a little trouble finding a worm, another worm, so I'm going back to my box of tubes.

I'm going to try a color the way it ace videos two boxes five of my favorite colors link in the description and it comes with jig heads it's amazing and it's a great way to support my channel and I guarantee you'll catch more fish with this it's very convenient, we have put them all in. I packed them all in a small box on purpose. I'm changing this crab color, although this little mocha color is just called crab color. It can matter a lot for these fish. I have it in the tube. I changed color. Oh, that's another good one.

Another big brook trout. and it's a rainbow boom that it's lunch or dinner, it's actually going to be dinner, I'm going to skip it, well I haven't actually, I rarely miss a meal, I usually carry snacks with me, but anyway, this is dinner, friends, that simple little crab color that It's cool, I love it, the double rainbow. Okay, I have two trout in the box and I'm curious to know what's down here. This all looks phenomenal, really, this is a magical place around here. I have one? I think I might have one, yes. I made another trout that was fast it happened so fast I was admiring the scenery another one I think I had since I first cast because he gobbled it up oh man I was only going to eat two but I'm actually going to eat three because this guy has it very down, wow, that bait, that hook is so down there, it's like in his gut he was convinced that this little tube was just fine, there we go three trout, I'm going to see what kind of crab action there is here, let's clean one up of these fish, perfect, look at that mass of guts and gills, sweet, yes, I'm going to do it, in fact, I'm going to adjust it and we're going to put it there, then I'm going to put a place on top so they can't take it away so easily , so okay, I'm going to do something here guys, I'm going to double team the crab things, there are a lot of crabs here, I got it.

A piece of bait down there that I'm keeping an eye on, but I'm also going to put a piece on my fishing line, here we go, throw this down there, I'm going to take this and leave it somewhere I can see. it's really good, I'll be able to see if the crabs are going with it, oh my gosh, like less than two minutes and the bait has already gone under a rock, oh that crab, it's absolutely booking with it, oh, and it's pleasant. size one too, oh, it's big, found it in no, oh, there it goes, wait, wait, wait, don't go anywhere, big crab, don't go anywhere, look at that look, the bait is there yeah, Take it there, it's there, it's okay, it's got it. again he has it I have to be quick here lift it up I have it it's a big crayfish right there look at those people he's a beast of a crayfish don't look at him he still oh it's a tug of war it's a tug of war there Come on, oh yeah that's a good crab to eat guys a crab is sticking out over here.

I think he smelled the trout in the bag. I'll see if I can grab it. Yes. I got you. I did not do it. I was about to pinch myself, so. I just grabbed another solid crayfish that is about to escape and when I grabbed it I could feel the sting so I whipped it to shore. Look at this guys, there is a crab trying to eat the trout through the net. look at that, oh I've got it caught, yeah, another one and a good one to eat too, there's seven of them, what a trick, what a trick, I haven't even explored a fraction of this creek and I already got all this out, it's time for dinner.

Friends, I'm going to get my kitchen stuff, oh, speaking of kitchen stuff, I have a free frying pan here, I'm going to get my kitchen stuff and let's find a good place, what are they? Look at these big mushrooms, I don't know what they are. Don't eat any mushrooms, you don't know what it is, this area has been cleared for some reason, I guess they use it for something or just so many people have come here that, uh, it's all worn out. It's a nice place, although it's a beautiful day to be here. I love coming here on cloudy days.

On rainy days like this, you know? I think I'll sit here. I'm going to spread out my little hiker towel. So in order to sit, I don't have to sit directly on the ground. I have these things here and I have an idea with this crab and shrimp boil. Many times when you walk you need ways to be more efficient and I'm thinking trout boiled in crab and shrimp could be very tasty. The first thing I'm going to do is add some water, check this out guys, so I was looking for matches there and I came across this. some bills made coffee uh from one of my father's ladies first I'm going to make some coffee what the hell fire how did he do that it was just a second I mean it was the first game I have no idea what happened there a little boils quick that's for sure you know I wonder I wonder if this was accidentally activated a little bit like maybe since I've been sitting here you know three or four minutes and like a lot of like maybe it just activated a little I didn't even notice, for which was leaking a lot of fuel everywhere because you can't see it, it just hangs in the air and there's no wind right now, so if it was building up here and that's why I lit the match, it's just a little dangerous to cook with me the coffee prepared by Bill, it is a solid coffee and all the military people drink it only a small portion there and drink some hot water and just itThey pour rotten and I have a spoon here, when you do it, cook the guys in the wild, after a while, you get better and better.

At first they seem like chaos when you don't know what the process is, but after a while when it gets personal. backpack cooking setup, everything is very efficient and a lot of fun, making it a lot more fun, I'm excited to try this, new crab boil here, try it with the

crawfish

, wait, you better read the instructions very quickly, don't do what I do with children, they have no proportions, I think probably because everyone just decides. how much they want there, that's what I'll put, it's boiling, very nice, a very good catch, look at it, bring a trout with it, buddy, let the trout go there and look at this nice one, this is, uh, he doesn't have the biggest claws, but the body he has, it's one of the biggest bodies of the day, so to speak, hey, let it go, bro, it's like an action thriller, here we go, how's it going everyone over there?

It's hot, the crab is coming out hot, yes. uh I'm excited, it smells, oh man that smells like island flavor, like I'm at a seafood restaurant on the coast, that's what it smells, I'm going to have a small plate here, I'm going to show you all a trick also. I just found out about a subscriber, in fact, a member of my subscription star page. I'll link to my subscriber star page in the description. They sent me a video on how to clean a crab or a different trick for when you're cleaning crabs. Wait. one second I had seven and there's only six right or am I another one that got away I don't know how they're doing this like the diving bag is closing I keep making the crabs come out we have to stop this this is ridiculous this is like the third time this year , fourth time overall, I have some old rags here that I carry with me, in fact, I'm cutting up old t-shirts so I can throw them away.

I'm done using them, I take the smallest one. trout here and then, mark them a few times, just drop them right into the boiling water. Bold fish. People in many cultures boil their fish, so it's not like I'm doing anything new, but if this tasted delicious, I could do it. just boil my trout with the

crawfish

in the same crawfish boil and that could be a really fun thing to do from now on. Oh, he lost his mind. Make some fish head soup. It won't take you long to cook it. I think it's ready, I mean just a few minutes, I think if I wait longer I want it to absorb some flavor, but if I wait too long it will fall apart, yeah, it looks ready, it's starting to fall apart, boy, that doesn't take long. a long time, that's much faster than cooking them in butter, that's sure fine before cooking the other trout, before deciding which way I want to cook them, I'm going to try this prayer, I think it's very important after a blessed day like this maybe go out and enjoy the creation, okay trout, boiled shrimp and crab, that's pretty good, the only thing I would say is that since it was cooked so quickly, it doesn't have much flavor, I wish it had more flavor, maybe maybe wait. just turn off the heat and cook the trout in the residual heat, that's the key, low and slow, try the lobster here, oh oh, I was going to show you guys this, this is what a subscriber told me, like this They have lobster, actually, let me start. for all the biggest crab, okay, you're going to take it as usual, make you like to suck the head, it's definitely a flavor that explodes, there's a lot of crazy stuff in there, um, we have the tail here right now, okay , now there are five little spinners on the back you take the middle one and adjust the middle one you just hear there's a noise, I don't know what it was or some animal, although I don't know if the microphone picked that up, it definitely hurt something, I don't know what .

It could have been a badger. There is definitely an animal noise that came from that direction. You know, it's one of those things where there's a lot going on here. We're in the middle of the woods, so I have the gun right next to me. I'll continue okay, so you grab the middle one, give it a little twist, I can feel it break, and then you pinch hard and pull. It worked, it's the first time I've done it, look, all the vein came out. guys, look at that whole crab vein, now I personally have always eaten the vein and never minded it, but if you're disgusted by eating crab poop, then a small piece, hmm, that shrimp and crab boil is delicious, It's not spicy.

For some reason, the way it looked, how red it was, I thought it would be spicy, but it's not. It's really good, I appreciate it, Glenn and it was Seth Seth who showed me the crab trick again. You spread them out, grab the middle one and just uh. Oh, that one didn't work, it worked the first time, but you get the idea right, so I'll show you all this so that the heat goes way down here, let's take this trout and simmer it, you know, that's one thing. I have never mentioned it before on my channel and that is that when you cook in the wild, remember that you are emitting a lot of smell, so be careful and don't go anywhere without a gun because if you encounter a bear, I'm going to want a gun. for bears and there is the finished trout.

You know what we're going to do, guys. I'll try a quick bite, but I have a feeling I should move on. That's nothing urgent. I haven't heard for sure. bear or something, but I just saw this movie, I said, but if that moose like I said, there's nothing, I haven't seen anything, nothing around the corner, nothing like that, but get the movie, I should go, so I'm going to thank you for watching, we'll see in the next one hopefully
