Using SNAKES as Bait to Catch Crawfish – Here's What Happened (Catch and Cook)

本站添加: 2026-05-05

[00:00:47]Oh, I don't know if that was fish or crawfish running just now.

[00:00:51]Kind of look like crawfish kicking up.

[00:00:55]Let's see. We in the swamp. Say hello, Frank. Hello, Frank. We're out here trying to do some crawfishing. Quite literally in the swamp. Now, if you hear all that noise, it's cuz there's a major highway like right there. Uh, but we were told by our friend John that there might be crawfish back here where it gets swampy. So, that's what we're here to find out. We got pyramid nets, as you can see here. We got some deep water nets. Oh, I'm messing Frank up.

[00:01:22]>> Cuz they're shaped like pyramids. This is why they call it that. And then we got these uh deep water nets that we're just going to throw out that y'all might have seen me uh fishing out the ditch with cuz I really like these. And then we got some pyramid traps also cuz they're shaped like uh like pyramids.

[00:01:38]But we're going to test this spot out before we bring everything out. We also got some pillow traps. But uh he's cutting up the beef melt right now, which if you don't know is cow spleen cuz apparently crawfish like spleens of cows. That seems to be uh one of the best baits that you can use. Um at least as far as this goes. So, we're going to get a few of them out and test out the waters. See if we can stay here and move on.

[00:02:18]Set this right up in here on the middle.

[00:02:27]All right. Now, come on, crayfish. Oh.

[00:02:29]Oh. Oh. Set this one right up over here and see. Now, when I just walked up here, I seen some uh a little something something running from this area right here. Don't know if it was a fish or crawfish.

[00:02:41]So, we going to try it right here and see.

[00:02:44]Come on, baby. Don't let me down.

[00:02:46]>> I know one thing. This is a nice bait knife.

[00:02:49]>> Yeah, man. It's a Ugly Stick bait knife.

[00:02:50]That's why it's nice. Ugly stick don't play.

[00:02:54]You be wasting time with no bubble knives. Go with ugly stick. The name love and trust. Made 50 years old this year.

[00:03:02]>> 50 years old stick been around longer than I've been alive. Oh, I don't know what that was, but it just up and moved.

[00:03:09]Whoa. Might need to go put the waist waiters on, y'all.

[00:03:18]I don't see nothing on it.

[00:03:20]>> And the pool.

[00:03:22]>> Nothing. Oh, that one looks like it might have something on it or if that's just shade.

[00:03:28]>> Might just be shade.

[00:03:32]>> I don't see nothing.

[00:03:35]>> Nothing.

[00:03:37]>> John done lied to us.

[00:03:38]>> Now I'm a crawface catching fool. Y'all watch this.

[00:03:41]>> You're a fool, that's for sure.

[00:03:44]Don't check your watch. It's time. It's what time it is. That's time to catch and crawfish.

[00:03:48]>> Oh, that's deep.

[00:03:53]Nothing. Let's go crawfishing in the swamp. They said >> it's fun. They said >> it'll be fun. They said hard and fast.

[00:04:04]>> That's my middle name.

[00:04:08]I got grass.

[00:04:13]got some perch >> or not.

[00:04:19]>> Well, that's something.

[00:04:22]I mean, that's better than nothing, I guess. Anyway, >> could be worse.

[00:04:26]>> I mean, it's kind of like nothing cuz we ain't keeping it. Of course, I should have kept that for jug line deep. But when this crawfish situation don't work out, we going deep into the swamps here, fellas. This is spot number two. Drove down a little bit.

[00:04:41]This is looking good. I see some alligator grass.

[00:04:48]We only seen a half a dozen snakes thus far.

[00:04:53]Well, that ain't no good.

[00:05:00]I guess we just give it a minute and see. I don't know. Well, we got a couple of them out. One, two, three, four, uh, four of them pyramid nets and one deep water net. And, uh, I don't know. We're about to find out. But man, it is absolutely beautiful out here. And look at that.

[00:05:16]>> I know. I'm beautiful.

[00:05:18]>> Yeah, you're beautiful, Frank. It'd be even more beautifuler if it was about 10° cooler, though. Starting to warm up.

[00:05:24]Humidity is coming back. Not a fan of that, but uh I mean, it'd be worth it if we get some crawfish. If we get some crawfish. And it looks like somebody lost their footing.

[00:05:37]Hopefully, they didn't lose their foot.

[00:05:39]Oh, they lost their soul, man. Somebody pray for this. Looks a little deeper right here.

[00:05:47]We got a couple more of these. Let's toss this up in here and see.

[00:05:53]Man, this is wild back here. This is like quintessententral Louisiana. Man, I wish I had me a little.

[00:06:00]There we go.

[00:06:02]See what happens with that. Man, look how crazy that big old cypress tree is right there. That's like a thick I wonder how old it is. All kind of holes in it. Ain't no telling what's living up in that thing. I thought it was dead till I looked at the top. And they got some uh some leafage growing up there on some twigs and such. But look, I mean, look at that big old spot right there.

[00:06:26]Looks looking rough. Yeah. Let me give you a closer look. Bam.

[00:06:32]That's crazy.

[00:06:36]Ain't no telling what's living in all them holes, too.

[00:06:45]Nothing.

[00:06:50]Nothing.

[00:06:53]Trying to sneak from behind the grass.

[00:07:08]Oh, got a few of them. He ain't very big, >> but uh we're going to hang on to them just to see. Oh, you mean I only got one out of all of that?

[00:07:19]>> Hold on. No. Hey, all I'm saying is that dude went straight into that hole.

[00:07:23]>> Into a hole.

[00:07:24]>> Yeah. Look.

[00:07:27]>> He said nope.

[00:07:29]>> All right. Well, >> they got some here. I'm thinking uh we're not going to use these though cuz they can see me coming. They already started taking off when the stick started coming. I know what y'all already saying. If you muddy up the water, they won't see you coming. But I can't do that because that water's actually running in that ditch a little bit. So, by the time I stir it up and move, all that mud will be uh down the ditch a ways and uh it'll be clear again. So, it don't work that way. But we just put these nets out just to see if they still had crawfish here. Cuz this is the spot in the last two crawfishing videos that we actually caught crawfish. And this morning me and Frank went all the way about an hour away from here. Went play around at two different spots in the swamp. Didn't catch nothing. Then we even stopped at another swamp on the way back. Didn't catch nothing. I mean, it looks super crawfish, but nothing. So, we stopped at the ditch. It is the wrongest the wrongest time of day to be doing this.

[00:08:25]Uh, but there's still crawfish here. And I've been seeing people crawfish here.

[00:08:28]Came by at like 6:00 in the morning the other day. It was still dark to hear people crawfishing here.

[00:08:34]I guess the spot produces. There got to be another spot around here. But we going to see what we can get from here right now. And uh just keep on keeping on. Let's get it, Frank.

[00:08:43]I can see a mess up on there.

[00:08:51]>> Yeah. Oh, that's a nice one, Frank.

[00:08:52]That's a nice one, Frank.

[00:08:54]>> Cuz I'm the crawfish king.

[00:08:55]>> Yeah. Yeah, I'll call you whatever you want as long as you keep catching them crawfish.

[00:08:59]Oh yeah, that'll work. That will work.

[00:09:03]Okay.

[00:09:05]Okay.

[00:09:07]Well, shoot. We're going to put the uh deep water nets out first cuz that's easiest to do. And then we might if we have any uh empty holes, we might still put this these little pyramid traps nets. You know what I'm trying to say?

[00:09:22]Woo! Not many, but some big ones.

[00:09:25]That's a big dude there.

[00:09:28]Not bad. Ow. Ow. Oh, god dang it. Why do I always do that here? Hold that.

[00:09:35]>> All right, let me grab him right there.

[00:09:37]>> No, just grab them by the claws. I mean, like, let them grab you. You have to hold on to them. They hold on to you.

[00:09:42]That's two. Two more. Not exactly uh >> pulling out a sack at a time, but better than what we was doing before.

[00:09:55]Woo! Splashed the water right up into the back of the boot.

[00:10:01]One, >> but he's not bad. He's edible. He's of edible. Ed ed. Help me out here.

[00:10:07]>> Edible.

[00:10:08]>> Edible size.

[00:10:11]>> Yeah, I think this if this was dark 30 early in the mornings, I think we'd be uh we'd be kicking some butt. But being that it's 4:00, it's kind of like, you know, not the best time. All right, we're taking a break from crawfishing.

[00:10:24]Keith over here, y'all know him from That Louisiana Life. And Tara over here behind me done stopped by because they found a really nice rooster out there by the house boat. Uh, nobody claimed it.

[00:10:35]They didn't want to leave it out there and it get ate by, you know, alligator or owl or anything like that. He said, uh, it's super friendly. So, he asked me if I wanted it and these ladies have been lonely for some time.

[00:10:47]So, we brought him a man to keep him company. Hopefully, that'll uh that might get us some eggs uh fertilized and we might be able to get some little baby chicks. But the reason I'm filming this right now is on the way here, my wife sent me this video here of a uh of this ratnake that was uh it's probably been eating my eggs for a while. And I already had one in the past and we took care of him. I didn't have a camera at that time on it when but when that happened, but uh we got one now. So, we're going to go uh we go take care of this snake. Maybe do a little catch and cook.

[00:11:18]Maybe. But we're going to uh since we're doing crawfish, we might as well take some of that and see if crawfish will eat that. We'll use that for bait. We'll head back to the ditch with some uh with some snake meat.

[00:11:28]>> All right, we're going in.

[00:11:30]>> Shade, y'all. It's too hot for me.

[00:11:35]>> See it?

[00:11:36]>> I got to move this bucket. This is where he was. When I move it, he's going to try and take off probably.

[00:11:45]>> There he is. Oh, I see you.

[00:11:48]>> Grab Grab him with your hand.

[00:11:53]>> I don't want to bite me.

[00:11:54]>> You chicken.

[00:11:56]>> Oh, I could have got him for you.

[00:12:02]>> Can't wait to see how big it is.

[00:12:04]>> Oh, we got him.

[00:12:07]>> Oh, yeah. He's got an egg in his belly.

[00:12:09]>> He has an egg in his belly.

[00:12:11]>> Okay.

[00:12:12]>> So, that's why you >> Oh, goodness. Look how long a long snake. Oh yeah, let me >> He No, maybe he doesn't have I don't know.

[00:12:19]>> I don't know. He got a little fat belly on it.

[00:12:23]>> You probably should have been doubling having double the eggs that you've been getting.

[00:12:26]>> I tell you what, the most of them we got is like four eggs in one day out of the five.

[00:12:31]>> Look at that tail.

[00:12:33]>> Pretty snake.

[00:12:34]>> Yeah, they are beautiful.

[00:12:37]>> And I'll be honest with you, I hate to kill them, but >> kill it. Oh, he look how long.

[00:12:44]That's a pretty snake.

[00:12:47]>> Yeah. Kill it.

[00:12:48]>> I might have to save his skin.

[00:12:51]>> That's pretty. You want him to kill it?

[00:12:53]>> Yes, I do.

[00:12:54]>> Why?

[00:12:55]>> Cuz eat my chicken eggs.

[00:12:57]>> I get mad when them girls don't lay.

[00:12:58]>> That's a good reason.

[00:13:02]>> I hate to I hate killing them because they kill mice and stuff like that and rats and such, but uh >> they got cats in the yard. Yeah, they got cash for that, I guess. But u they can't be eating my eggs. I mean, that's kind of the whole point of having chicken. So, >> man, look how pretty that is.

[00:13:17]>> Oh, yeah. That got to be an egg or something.

[00:13:19]>> Yeah, there's at least two in there.

[00:13:21]He's swole up.

[00:13:22]>> Mhm.

[00:13:23]>> Get him out of there. They still good.

[00:13:25]>> The last one that was in there when I grabbed him, he he threw up through the egg. The egg come out.

[00:13:30]>> Let's see what the rooster going to do to him.

[00:13:33]>> I don't want to hold it.

[00:13:35]Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No.

[00:13:39]I didn't name the rooster yet, so you get to name it.

[00:13:41]>> Oh, yeah. So, that's the one I wanted to say, too. Y'all make sure y'all leave it in the comments. What do y'all y'all leave it in the comments and uh let me know what we should name the rooster. I hadn't even named the hins. So, the rooster's going to get a name and the hins won't. Yeah, buddy.

[00:13:56]>> All right, let me go whack this dude's head off. Uh-oh.

[00:14:00]>> What you say, big boy?

[00:14:02]>> See his butt?

[00:14:03]>> Yeah, nice butt. Boy, he is a pretty rooster, though. what that sound is.

[00:14:08]>> Boy, you see some ladies. I hear you getting worked up cuz Yeah, come check them out.

[00:14:16]Come check them out. Take your pick. We got Bard Rocks. We got Rhode Island. We got uh a leg horn and whatever that black one is. We close it, please.

[00:14:25]>> Yeah, you can.

[00:14:26]>> The horn is the red one. Uh I don't know. The black and white. The lake horn is together. I don't know what Okay.

[00:14:34]Yeah. The white ones killed the couple.

[00:14:36]We had two red ones and a black one given to us when they gave us that over there.

[00:14:40]>> Oh, he >> that's a big dude, bro. He's >> so pretty.

[00:14:44]Tail feathers in shake tail.

[00:14:52]>> Oh, girls.

[00:14:56]>> Yeah. Show them what you're working with. Show them what you're working with. Go ahead. That's a good looking dude. He is beautiful.

[00:15:02]>> Look, he went from lonely in the swamps to like nothing but the honeys. Got nothing but the honeys.

[00:15:09]>> Well, it's uh I guess it's that time of year, folks, cuz uh check this out. Be honest with you, that's about the fourth or fifth snake I've seen today, cuz I've seen a couple in the swamp.

[00:15:18]>> Yeah.

[00:15:19]>> Now we got this guy.

[00:15:20]>> Yeah. The shape of the head.

[00:15:21]>> Do they eat eggs? Do I have to kill this one, too?

[00:15:24]>> Kill it. No.

[00:15:26]>> Oh my god.

[00:15:28]>> Man, why you trying to everything?

[00:15:30]Jesus.

[00:15:32]Coffee.

[00:15:35]All right, here we are bright and early the next morning. Well, dark and early the next morning. As you can see, the sun ain't out. So, we're going to kind of do two kind of test things. We're going to do that snake cuz we're going to try and see if the uh them crawfish will eat a snake. And then, of course, if we're going to catch some more when it's dark, you know what I'm saying? So, so far this season, we done used chicken, we done used fish, and we done used them crawfish pellets, and then of course the beef melt, but we ain't never tried snake. So, got him still. I'm going to go ahead and skin him, cut him up in little pieces, and then we still going to use uh some beef melt as our control, you know, at like the scientific method. You need to know uh if they there and if they biting at all anyway, because we know they bite on beef melt, right? Trying not to get none of them red juices on my brand new Pelican Bone Outdoors shirt, which you can get first link in the description or go to shop.pelaboneoutdoors.com.

[00:16:34]You know, if you want to support the channel in that in that way.

[00:16:38]Well, that is a long snake, y'all.

[00:16:46]All right, there we go. That's the first one with a snake. Let's go set that out there. See what we get. Oh, that's nasty. Look at that. That right there is the egg that that snake was eating out of my chicken coop. It uh kind of squeezed out when I was skinning them.

[00:17:01]All right, piece of snake. Speaking of snakes, hope I don't step on one while we uh while we're getting this done.

[00:17:11]That's a snake paw. We get the other snake net and then we're going to put out some beef melt to see.

[00:17:18]Think this is where we had it yesterday and didn't catch nothing but it is night time now or dark time I guess.

[00:17:26]Technically it's morning. Oh foot stuck.

[00:17:31]We'll see. Oh, Skas is coming out. That ain't no buo.

[00:17:38]All right, that ought to be long enough.

[00:17:39]Let's go give her a check. See getting eaten up by mosquitoes even in the Jeep.

[00:17:44]Tell you what, let's go. Um, we'll leave the snakes there. Let's go check the one that we got with the beef metal on it first just to see. Yeah, this one right ch.

[00:17:56]Oh my goodness, l the night time makes, huh?

[00:18:04]The night time is the right time to catch your crawfish. Holy moly, what a difference.

[00:18:14]What a dagum difference, y'all.

[00:18:17]Look at that.

[00:18:20]That's That's more than we caught the whole time we were sitting out here. All right. I like it. All right. Well, let's go see what we got over here. Let's see if the snake worked as good as that did.

[00:18:32]Cuz that was amazing.

[00:18:37]Yes, sir. Yes. Yes, sir. Look at that.

[00:18:43]They don't care. They don't even much care. We're going to have to pick through a lot of these.

[00:18:49]A lot of small ones, but crawfish nonetheless.

[00:18:56]Oh, yeah. Like I said, this this spot's been getting hit pretty hard. So, uh I'm sure a lot of the big ones is gone already.

[00:19:05]And these little ones are going to get thrown back. I just want to see how many we get. And then we'll uh pick through them. Throw the little ones back.

[00:19:13]Keep the big ones. Make a little something something. Might not have enough for a big old barrel, but I have a little something something. Well, snake works. That's crazy the difference between night and day, huh? It's like night and day difference. That pun was unintentional, but it worked.

[00:19:30]Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Hey, they got some big ones on this side. Look, is big enough to eat for sure, man.

[00:19:41]I tell you what. Yeah. Instead of dumping nothing but grass up in there, let's pick them out by hands.

[00:19:49]Come on, let go. Ow, sucker. Now, that's got me thinking.

[00:19:55]Maybe we should have uh go try them swamp areas in the dark time.

[00:20:02]That could get kind of scary, though.

[00:20:04]Yeah, I'd say uh that's a bit of a difference. Who else keeps that crawfish in a pooch home? H >> All right. Well, with with that kind of success, I guess we might as well go ahead and uh bait up another one. We got two two traps and three nets. No. Yeah, two traps and three nets. We're about to put a fourth net out. And uh that might be it because I think the rest of them still got holes in them that I need to be repairing that I ain't done that yet.

[00:20:33]I hear some bullfrog singing. What we in? We in April. The season is closed.

[00:20:39]May June. When June rolls around, we need to go try and catch us some bullfrogs out by the camp.

[00:20:45]Hopefully, we'll have a camp to camp in about that time. Get that dagum lifeboat up.

[00:20:51]Freddy, y'all sit tight. I'm about to get you some of your fellas. By the way, y'all, if y'all want to see how Keith and Tara got a hold of that rooster, y'all make sure y'all head over to their channel in Dad Louisiana Life. And uh they got a video of when they went to the house boat and saw that rooster. And then I think they're coming out with another one when they when they got it to bring it to me. Oh, I just dumped probably all the crawfish out of there. There's a few of them. Still got a few. That's about five of them. Five or six of them.

[00:21:21]Took us all day to get that yesterday.

[00:21:23]Oh, there we go.

[00:21:28]Oh, yeah.

[00:21:33]Yes, sir. Snake's working just as good as the beef melt. You know, I'm wondering since it's dark, I probably don't even need to put it right up against the grass. I can probably throw something right there in the middle. But I'm going to need to get a uh have to see if we can't do Oh, you know what? We might be able to use them little pyramid nets and the dock cuz they ain't going to be able to see that stick coming.

[00:21:56]Oh, man. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. That way we can put out some more.

[00:22:00]Let's go check these real quick first.

[00:22:03]Oh my goodness. That's a good spot right there. Look at the giant crawfish they got in there. Look at them claws. See how red they are? Man, that's pretty.

[00:22:12]That is so pretty.

[00:22:14]Come on, get on there. I don't know if y'all can see it through the camera with them them eyes lighting up in that spotlight.

[00:22:22]Look at this dude there. Huh? Might even be able to get some meat off of them claws. I'm starting to think it don't matter what you use for bait, they'll eat it. If we get if we can make another crawfish trip, we might try some more other beats because I know corn. I had some in a uh pool pond that I had back in my house at the old house. I'll try and remember to link that video down in the description below. And uh I threw corn like corn on the cob back there.

[00:22:49]And uh after a couple days, the little cobs floated up with no corn left on it.

[00:22:53]I mean, they picked it clean. So they eat probably just about everything.

[00:23:00]Yes, sir.

[00:23:05]Yes, sir.

[00:23:07]A couple decent ones up in there. Cuz by the time we pick through them, we might not have near as many cuz I think I'm just going to keep the bigger ones. Let the little ones grow some more. Even though I don't know that uh everybody who's crawfishing this spot extends the same courtesy, but I don't want to fish them out. I'm going leave some that'll grow and make some babies for next year.

[00:23:26]All right, here we go. Here's a snake one.

[00:23:29]Come on. Got to lay flat. You got to lay flat. Oh, come on. Let's try that again.

[00:23:36]Must be something down there not letting it lay flat.

[00:23:40]Well, fine. We'll try it right.

[00:23:46]There we go. That's way more better.

[00:23:49]Yeah, there we go.

[00:23:53]Shoot. Might as well get the other two.

[00:23:56]Sun's already starting to come up though, man. That uh probably should have got up when the first alarm went on. Lay flat. Got to get it to lay flat so they're not eating on the eating the bait from the bottom of it. Mhm. Mhm.

[00:24:09]They still coming out. 1 2 3 4 5 6 maybe seven. Oh, look what I did. Oh yeah.

[00:24:17]Let's catch crawfish and just sling them out of the bucket.

[00:24:25]kind of trying not to shine the light right on them cuz I don't know I don't want to give no warning. Just want to come like bam bam. Gotcha.

[00:24:35]Woo! Another big daddy.

[00:24:40]They all like that. We be doing some good. See ones like this we definitely going to throw back. We'll pick through them again. Ow. All right. Come on.

[00:24:50]You got me. You got me. Probably should have put one right there.

[00:24:55]All right. I know we got we got a pyramid around here somewhere. Oh, yeah.

[00:24:58]Right there in the middle. Let's check him out. Let's see.

[00:25:06]That's one at least. One might I think one fell out when we lifted it, too, though. Oh, sky's getting bad. Getting toe up.

[00:25:20]Oh, that's like nothing but little bit bays there.

[00:25:26]Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

[00:25:30]Look at that. Oh, those are all nice, too. All of them are keepers.

[00:25:38]It's easier to keep them when you get them in a bucket. Vincent.

[00:25:43]Yeah, all of those are nice.

[00:25:46]Might have to just shuffle them around a little bit. These nets. Might have to put on some bug spray cuz the crawfish ain't the only thing that's biting.

[00:25:56]Oh, I got to find a better place to put that one.

[00:26:00]We getting crawfish, but I keep dumping it every time. Look how tiny this guy is. Huh.

[00:26:06]Oh yeah. Another good pull. Another good pull.

[00:26:15]Yeah, I think we found the bigger ones.

[00:26:18]All right. Where I know I dropped one. I know. One come falling out. And he looked like he was big enough, too.

[00:26:28]He got lucky. I'm curious to see how fast they shut off once that sun comes out.

[00:26:34]Mhm.

[00:26:36]Got a crawfish and a piece of grass.

[00:26:40]That was only one crawfish. So, we're going to move him to right here and see if that's any better. Not too bad, y'all. Not too bad. Maybe, just maybe, after we get a few more from here, we might move on down the road. See if the spot from last year has any water in it.

[00:26:56]Cuz last time we passed by, that thing was dry dry. We had some rain since then, but then it's been a few days since we had any rain. So, it might have all drained out.

[00:27:06]I think they might have actually fixed something to where it drains better, which is unfortunate for the crawfish.

[00:27:12]What's unfortunate for me because I can't get no fish. All right.

[00:27:16]I'm scared to wait too long cuz the sun's coming up. So, we go ahead and check them right again.

[00:27:23]Here we go with the snake pull.

[00:27:28]Oh, still got a few.

[00:27:32]Definitely the smaller versions here.

[00:27:34]Let me shine some light on the subject.

[00:27:36]There we go.

[00:27:43]Yeah, that one wasn't sitting right.

[00:27:46]We might move this one. Let's move this one someplace else.

[00:27:50]But where? Oh, how about right here?

[00:27:54]See if we can get it up in there.

[00:28:04]Oh yeah, here we go. Got a couple big ones there.

[00:28:09]That's nice.

[00:28:11]Might end up with a few that we can cook up.

[00:28:16]Make some kind of little appetizer or something.

[00:28:21]Put a couple of them on a cracker.

[00:28:26]Ain't nothing but a little baby one.

[00:28:29]Think it's time to move you.

[00:28:33]Well, it ain't going to do no good upside down. Tell you that right now.

[00:28:38]Oh, almost had it right. I guess we're going to have to frisbee it.

[00:28:43]There we go.

[00:28:46]Put it right there. Come sa.

[00:28:50]Okay. Come on. Get it. Oh, look. They dropping like flies.

[00:28:57]Where'd y'all go?

[00:29:00]That's a one.

[00:29:02]Oh man, we had more than that.

[00:29:05]We had five, six, seven of them.

[00:29:10]Little bet. Maybe we'll stick it over here on this corner, right? Who knows?

[00:29:14]Maybe the big ones is just three foot to the right, you know. All right, let's see if I can do a little better this time. This is the one I keep dumping. If I can try and pull it straight up.

[00:29:28]Well, I pulled it straight up, but they ain't nothing on there. Did they see the sunlight already? and they just decided that's it. That's it. That's all I'm doing. I'm done.

[00:29:39]Man, that would be uh that would make me sad. Got to sneak up on them now.

[00:29:46]Oh, that's a couple biggin.

[00:29:48]A couple biggin already dying down already, man.

[00:29:56]If you'd have got up when the first alarm went off this morning, Cousin Vinnie, you'd have been doing all right.

[00:30:02]Oh, yeah.

[00:30:04]Ain't as many, but they bigger over here.

[00:30:08]We are no longer under the cover of darkness. Let's see if the crawfish have retreated to the safety of their boats.

[00:30:15]Let's just go check the nets.

[00:30:20]Oh, I just seen them all take off.

[00:30:23]Dang it. Yeah, there's two two little babies, man. They see me coming. I tell you what, the darkness makes a difference, man. I don't know if I'm gonna be wasting my time during the daylight anymore.

[00:30:44]Sakibly. Oh man, that's a pretty flower.

[00:30:47]Look at that, man. Look how pretty that flower is coming out of whatever kind of grass that is. Got some more right there, man. That's nice.

[00:30:59]Bam.

[00:31:07]Oh yeah, they still out and about. I think we'd have had a bunch more on that other net if they wouldn't have seen me coming.

[00:31:20]All right, this one they'll be able to see me. That one they won't. So we going to sneak up real low. Get low. Get low.

[00:31:29]and do this up here. Bam.

[00:31:34]Three. Three crawfish. Yeah, they liking that snake. No. What I like about that is, you know, we had to kill a snake even though I didn't want to. But the snake's going to keep eating my eggs.

[00:31:45]But at least it didn't go to waste. You know, we can use it as bait. I'm going to save the rest of that snake. Probably put it on some jug lines later on. See how the catfish like it.

[00:31:56]Oh yeah.

[00:31:58]Yeah, they got a few in the back.

[00:32:02]There we go. Got a few eaters in that one, too.

[00:32:06]Have to toss that one right back out there. Y'all check out that old Leroy hat if yall haven't seen that yet.

[00:32:10]That's in the shop, too. But, uh, y'all let me know something. I I'm I'm back here at the ditch again. This is like the third crawfish video in the same spot. I tried to switch it up. Tried to go to a bay, not a bay, a swamp. Tried to go to two different swamps. Trying to find a different spot to switch it up.

[00:32:27]Are you getting tired of seeing me at this ditch catching crawfish? Would you rather me just not do the videos in the same spot over again? Or uh or are you still liking it?

[00:32:40]Let me know. I don't want to be putting out videos nobody wants to watch. You know what I'm saying? Cuz I know I ain't getting tired of uh catching crawfish out of the same old dish. That don't bother me one bit. Oh man, we forgot to put that back in the water. He ain't catching nothing like that.

[00:32:57]Oh, ain't catching nothing like that neither. Ain't a dag thing on that one.

[00:33:00]Going to have to keep moving out. If in fact there's any more crawfish to catch, they might have just shut off cuz of the daylight. Birds probably trying to eat them.

[00:33:09]Nothing. That ain't no good.

[00:33:17]How's a good hot cheesy crawfish dip sound to y'all? I think that's what we might have to be making cuz I don't think we're going to need a ton of crawfish for that. But, uh, let's go get what we can get. Time to check them again.

[00:33:30]Have to come in on the slide with this one. This is the one that, uh, they took off when they seen me coming. So, might be over with.

[00:33:45]Sun come out, crawfish go in. That's wild, huh?

[00:33:55]Nothing.

[00:33:57]Well, that might be it. That's what happens when you a prey animal, I guess, cuz uh they go during the daytime hours. They got to hide cuz them birds will come walking around here. Them cranes and and uh what you call them things? errands and all of that will come walk around in the wall that they see and snatch them up and that's it. So they come out at night but they ain't got to worry about none of them birds. Now they might have to worry about some raccoons cuz the raccoons will eat them.

[00:34:28]Maybe some otter if they got some around here.

[00:34:32]Otter will tear them up.

[00:34:35]Let's see. Do we have anything? I see one on there. See if we can get him. He going to be able to see us.

[00:34:43]Oh. Oh. We got him. We got him.

[00:34:56]They had a couple on them, but they seem me coming. Dag gum. Woo. We still got to check them traps, though. They ought to have a few in there, I would imagine.

[00:35:07]Oh. Oh, I just flung him out. He was a nice one, too, man. Like to sling that dude like on a trampoline. Well, looks like that's a wrap. Let's go uh let's go check a little further down the road real quick before we call it quits and head on back to make our crawfish dip.

[00:35:22]Almost forgot the dag on traps.

[00:35:30]Are you serious? All that we got two.

[00:35:37]That's pretty uh unspectacular.

[00:35:45]Man, I wonder what would have happened if we had it in one of them other spots now.

[00:35:50]H any better over here?

[00:35:56]I can see them. I can see a couple of them on the side.

[00:36:00]That's a little better.

[00:36:03]Got four of them.

[00:36:06]Now, what might have happened too, the little ones probably climbed out of the hole and just the the good sizes stayed in. So, one way to weed through them.

[00:36:18]Ow. Ow man, they get me every time. All right, I got to weed through these and throw some of these babies back and then we'll go try and uh check that other spot.

[00:36:30]Whoa, almost lost the whole bucket.

[00:36:37]And also, while I'm thinking about it, another way that you can support the channel is helping uh support the partners that help support me. For example, Gatoraders. All the fancy foot gear that we've been wearing this whole video has been Gator Waiters. And I just realized, man, I wore like three different stages of it. We got these knee boots right here. And of course, we had the camp boots. When we was up in the swamp, I had these waist waiters.

[00:37:00]Good quality gear. Use code PBO10. Save yourself 10%. Appreciate y'all support.

[00:37:06]On to the next spot. This could look promising if we can find a spot to put a net or something.

[00:37:13]See if we can dig a hole out of here.

[00:37:15]Oo, that's that's up in there good and tight. Oh, wait. Hold on. Hold on.

[00:37:24]Oh, we might be able to get something right there.

[00:37:28]About to test that out for sure. Man, I got this boat hook from the Walmart yesterday cuz I forgot mine. And they got this little dad right here, man.

[00:37:36]Just makes it perfect for pushing these uh ring nets in.

[00:37:40]I just hook it right there on the outer ring like that and push.

[00:37:46]And then I can push it right up in the stuff like that.

[00:37:54]Get it up in there.

[00:37:56]Yeah, that works pretty good. If there's any crawfish right here, we might actually do pretty good even though it's daylight because all of this duckweed will be blocking their line of sight of anything. They might feel safer and want to come uh explore a little bit and feast on a little breakfast and trying to answer some comments while we wait. I'm having a hard time keeping up with the comments, y'all. So, bear with me. I'm getting to it. I'm getting to it. That ought to be long enough to tell us if uh it's worth hanging around or not.

[00:38:31]I think it's worth it, y'all. That's three, man.

[00:38:36]We might have a new spot, y'all.

[00:38:39]And I don't think anybody's hit this spot. Man, these are some different looking crawfish. I Is that a different species? Look how green these are compared to how red them other ones are.

[00:38:49]That's interesting, y'all. H Oh, goodness gracious. That is covered in crap.

[00:38:59]I don't think there's any crawfish, though. Couldn't get this thing up.

[00:39:04]Is there any crawfish?

[00:39:07]My goodness. Look at the leaves and stuff.

[00:39:10]Just a bunch of funk down there. I think we're going to save this for another time. But I do believe we could be coming to check this out. Look, look, look over there. What is that? Is that a Is that a growback?

[00:39:22]Hold on. Where my phone is? Let me zoom in for y'all.

[00:39:26]See that dude right there.

[00:39:32]That grill bag right there, boy. He's hunting them crawfish, too.

[00:39:38]That's what I was talking about about them bird, y'all. Yeah, that sucker. He eat some crawfish.

[00:39:42]They even made a song about him.

[00:39:48]Come on. Let's go check on that rooster.

[00:39:49]Make sure them hens didn't beat him up.

[00:39:51]Yeah. Come on, man. I don't see nobody.

[00:39:55]Where? Oh, there we go. They all up in the back, I guess. Everybody getting along? What are you doing in the Bro, what you doing hanging out?

[00:40:07]That dude was laying down in them laying boxes. You just chilling, bro? Taking a nap.

[00:40:14]Don't talk back to me. I was just asking. How about you ladies? Y'all doing all right?

[00:40:25]Man, y'all know how hard it's going to be for me to feel these without eating them.

[00:40:35]By the way, if you're looking for those crawfish nets, that'll be a link down in the description, too, at uh Brothers is where I get all my stuff. Always check the description. Like, if you see something, you're like, "Man, that's nice. I wonder where he got it." Check the description. I'm usually putting stuff down there to uh to let y'all know about it and so on and so forth. Anyway, ow, almost cut myself. Since uh the last two times of cooking was kind of a botch thing, uh I'm going to follow a recipe this time, but I got some fresh green onion, some wild onions from my neighbor's backyard, some fresh bell pepper all cut up, and then two cloves of garlic. We mixing it in there with that big old honking stick of butter.

[00:41:16]And we're going to cook that down till the bell peppers get tender. But that's what we wound up with. The recipe calls for a pound of crawfish meat. I don't think that's a pound of crawfish meat, but uh it's going to have to work. I think it'll be fine. Recipe says 8 minutes. You should sauté this like this or until the bell peppers are uh are tender. So that's, you know, that's what we're going to do. All right. So, um already messed up because uh the garlic wasn't supposed to go in until after this thing was finished. Uh God, this jaw is hard to open.

[00:41:58]Oh, goodness gracious.

[00:42:01]Anyway, the garlic wasn't supposed to go in until after the bell peppers were were tender, but I'm putting in a uh a jar of pimentos. Is that what that they call this stuff? Yeah, diced pimentos. I don't even I don't even know what that is, but it but it's going in there cuz the recipe said so. And then we're going to put our crawfish tails like so. And then we're going to put two teaspoon of your Cajun creole seasoning like that. And we slow that fire down a little bit. And we're going to stir it up.

[00:42:38]That's looking good already. Y'all come look at this. It's pretty if nothing else. The 10 minutes is up that it told me to let it sit there and sauté all together, marinating and just melding together. So, I just dropped in a whole block of cream cheese cut up into some chunks. And then we're just going to uh cook that for a little while till it comes all nice smooth and creamy. And it'll be ready to slap on a piece of toast or a crackle or something.

[00:43:08]Oh, I'd say that's nice and melted and creamy.

[00:43:12]Slap that on a plate like that. We go give that a try.

[00:43:18]I can't wait.

[00:43:27]Oh, that made my tongue slap the top of my brain trying to lick the roof of my mouth. That is good. That is real good.

[00:43:35]Oh, we just going to have to follow recipes. Maybe just do it that way. Sue be lucky if I say any of this. This the kind of bread I use, y'all. I don't know. I don't even know how to pronounce that to be honest with you. But, uh, Sue bought it one time and we ain't never looked back. That stuff is fantastically delicious. Pretty much all she buys now as far as bread goes. But, uh, y'all give me a second. I'm going to finish this up real quick. Then we're going to go toss them, uh, crawfish heads to the chickens. And then uh I got some dessert growing in the backyard that we going to go grab real quick. Just just give me a sec.

[00:44:19]Peace on little ones. Peace stone.

[00:44:23]Where that rooster's at? Come get it rooster.

[00:44:32]Oh yeah, he figured it out.

[00:44:35]He said y'all don't want it. I take it.

[00:44:38]Get you some, buddy. Get you some.

[00:44:39]That's that good. Good.

[00:44:42]Oh yeah, he like it. He liking it. Oh, dessert. Just got to watch out for the snakes.

[00:44:49]Oh, that one didn't taste that good.

[00:44:53]Look at them. Got them all up in here.

[00:44:58]M.

[00:45:00]These are the ones I like. Big old plump balls on a berry. Yeah, that's going to be a good one there.

[00:45:09]Oh, yeah.

[00:45:13]Oh, I'm glad I didn't grab that thinking it was a berry. That would have hurt.

[00:45:18]Oo, look at that one.

[00:45:20]Yeah, buddy. M I might be out here a minute. That is delicious. But thank you guys so much for watching. I really do appreciate it.

[00:45:30]That's going to wrap it up for today.

[00:45:32]Sorry, I just slapped the mic on accident. I didn't I didn't really mean to do that. But I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Again, I tried to get a new spot to crawlfish. Didn't work out, but you know, it is what it is. I tried. So, hit that thumbs up button if you like it. Subscribe if you haven't. You know the routine. And I'll catch you on the next one.
