Matts, I can’t tell you how awesome it is to get your Buddy & Dealer (Auto 😉) back into Fishing...especially when he can throw TF down on some meals. the Po-Po Eel Catch & Cook trip must’ve sparked or piqued something, though I like to think that our Pro Darrien comments helped as well. he’s having a blast with you out there & his humor and attitude is appreciated
@@darrienlien9508 Hey Darrien it was good seeing you back out with Matt’s enjoying fishing again. Food looked amazing and that lemonade made me so thirsty haha wish I had a glass. good luck on your new U Tube adventure wish you the best of luck.
Darrien looks like that cool dad that has genuine interest in fishing and cooking and is glad to share ... he for sure should start his own RU-vid but the combo is a delight :) huge fan from Finland here
As a professional chef myself, I am an avid fan of you and your RU-vid videos and am impressed with Darrien's work in this episode. Big kudos to him on an excellent recipe from a retired chef that has stoked the "fires of hades" for 42 years and is still cooking. He's right! Cooking is a passion, but hey, so is fishing! I extend my fond hopes for continued success to you both!
Love watching dudes like this fish. Always a wholesome time with no wasted food. I know people are all “Don’t eat fish!” nowadays but these two make it so it’s never wasted or done with bad energy/ intentions.
not many people are this humble as your mate Darrian, i could take an example of that man. good cooking can use up a bit of time but after catching those fish and than this? i take your place anyday mate!!! awsome video again ;) big hugs from the bigredchef Holland
14:15 "it's my first perch... and im just crazy like that" *proceeds to eat unborn fish baby raw* you sir, are definitely crazy xD Edit: he went back for seconds after
Possible tip for that technique of gutting a fish (all in one go) that'll speed thing up and simplify the process. Here in New Zealand we have a really similar fish to a Striper called a Kahawai, so I'm presuming they're pretty similar anatomically on the inside too - by the looks of the Striper you cleaned in the video, they look to be. When I gut them, I make the exact same cuts you did up until 15:12 - though I don't worry too much about cutting into the guts. Then all I do is pull the belly flaps apart - which tears the gills away from the belly flaps. Then I put my fingers into the gills, and rip them away from the spine - all the guts come with it just like you demonstrated. It's a bit more brutal, ripping rather than cutting, but it saves having to do all those fiddly cuts to get the gills free. Love your videos dude.
Perfect combination guys - one who loves fishing and one who loves cooking. And both super chill giving off great vibes. I'm literally smiling the whole time I'm watching you guys together :)
This is the best colab videos Matt’s have put out darren has a chill down to earth vibe I enjoy watching him colab with Matt’ im Hoping they keep it going or create a second channel “Matt’s & darren” out doors adventure or “Fisherman’s life & Toyota chef “ that has a nice ring to it !!!
Good job Darrien! I hope to see you in many episodes to come. I can't wait to see you catch your first fish on here. I love watching Survivorman too. Les Stroud is a beast. Cheers
Darrien has got to be in many videos to come! he's very pleasant. I've been eating keto recently as well so i'd love to see what new recipes he can introduce to me
Darrien get that keto channel going bro. I'm dabbling in it also. The dishes you cook are in my wheelhouse! Thanks for buy your suv from Darrien Matt's. I watch all your videos. I live not far from you so all your tips are crucial to me! Matt's I hope you have Darrien at your fishing street fair. I will be there! Thanks for all you do!
