Catch and SUSHI CRAPPIE?!?! Fishing For BIG Crappie | Freshwater Fishing 

"Maybe it's good, maybe its crappie." You sir make me chuckle snort. Lol

Love seeing these freshwater catches from some of the fish I catch, cook, and eat around home. Definitely good work on advising to not eat freshwater fish raw! Black spot/other parasites are no joke! Crappie, Bluegill/sunfish, Northern Pike, and Walleye are top tier fish for eating. Would love to see more content from freshwater lake/river fish!

Everywhere I go i see Coronavirus news, here I can relax and enjoy life as how it should be. Thanks Taku =)

The picture quality of this video is superb! The presentation is, as always, beautiful!

Fried and grilled crappie is delicious! Also crappies and bluegills are a really fun fish to catch!

When I saw the label, I thought, "oh no, they're not going to eat freshwater fish raw, are they?!" Thank you for emphasizing that point.

The camera quality on this vid was great and the rolls looked amazing! Especially that crappie roe one!

I grew up on the southern states, narleans here. We called them with the French name called sac su lait. So when you hear someone calling crappie as such, you know they are from the south. I knew you were going to catch a ton more cuz these fishes travel in groups. Those are nice slabs. Good video, good friends, good eating and thanks for the good vibes during our bay area so called lockdown.

Thanks again for the Outdoor Chef School fillet lesson! Tuition check's in the mail 🤪

Love seeing the progression of this channel and the quality of content improve greatly over time.

You’ve found your stride, man. I think your my favorite RU-vidr these days. Keep it up!

This honestly is my favorite episode. I love the friends, I love the teaching, I love the uniqueness. Good job!

Bro, even though I m from the Netherlands and I cut up a whole lot of different fish... I learn from you, your tips are so use full man! Thanks for that. Enjoy your day !

Love the fileting lesson! I find it very relaxing watching someone with serious knife skills

Man. I have been filleting fish for 10 years and this dude still teaches me new things. Wastes no meat, respect.

My favorite Outdoor Chef hands down! Love that you used crappie. The best!

19:32 💔total heart break when i saw it fall.

Around here having a " crappie day" is a good thing.

Love seeing a crappie episode and it always fills my heart with joy the way you always share with everyone!

You are truly an artist Taku! Absolutely love the food you prepare. Work of art!

I wish I had the culinary talent. I can make southern Japanese/Okinawa village food only because my mum and dad taught me how, but anything beyond that is a mystery to me. Keep up the vids bro... Im learning alot...

Likin these freshwater catch n cooks, keep up the good work Taku

“Knife is life” Thank you for everything you do! Crappie sushi!!! Love it!

Awesome catch, I just got my fishing license I am looking forward to go fishing I watch how you filet the fish. So when are you going to try to come to Texas?

Would you please share what river that is ? I want to take my kayak out there

Those are huge! Caught these all the time as a kid with my grandpa. Good times, awesome video

Taku and Jocelyn, you guys are awesome! Keep up with the phenomenal videos!

Crappie sushi!!?? Had to watch.

You neee to do a walleye catch and cook! One of my favorite fresh water fish to eat.

Too cool! Your knowledge is awesome. I'm was glad you actually showed him how to filet a fish. I've haven't done it since I was a kid, so it was a great refresher!

I grew up in Hawaii so I never caught fresh-water fish just ocean fish, and those crappies are bigger than most of the reef fish I used to catch and eat .... here on the mainland, if you can't walk from your front door to the ocean, forget about ever even seeing the ocean. Kind of like how it was growing up in Hawaii, actually. You have to be *close* to places to enjoy them at all. But a lot of freshwater places have fish like crappie, so this is a great episode. For anyone new, before Taku went to RU-vid fulltime, he was a chef at a high-end sushi place in San Francisco. He knows how to do stuff.

PS you look like Mister Miyagi in his younger years. hehehehe

at first i was thinking "crappie? what a crappie" thinking it was pronounced like crap

Lovvveeee crappie!!!! Use to fish for crappie all the time when I was younger!! Such a clean and delicious beautiful 🐟 fish!!!

I love to see how he guided his friend how to fillet the fish and his friend's effort in perfecting his new learned skills to perfection 👍

Are those vacation homes on the banks? I'd feel so self-conscious being where folks could just come out onto a porch and watch me fishing in my boat. They look like vacation spots/rentals.

Their mouths are delicate Chef, you gotta net them up close or slide them up on shore if you’re not on a boat? Good Fishing 👍

“Knife is Life” Loved watching you help others with their knife skills...

This was helpful in so many ways, thank you! Can't wait to get my fish and outdoor chef on this spring 😁

8:14 did someone vape onto the fish? Lmao

First Quarantined Comment

I’ve just spend 20 minutes on RU-vid and it’s worth every minute of it. Thank you.

Those are some huge crappie too! One of my favorite fish to catch! With crappie that big you need a landing net, their mouths are so thin, the hook will rip out if you don't net them. Great video!

I thought eating freshwater fish raw was a HUGE no no?! Their parasites can transfer unlike saltwater fish.

lol, almost stopped watching at the "insert dad joke"

I love your presentation with your dishes. Great video as always

Hey Taku, I’ve been watching you for a long time as well. I’m retired US Air Force and have been stationed in many places around the world and done all kinds of fishing. I was originally born in Japan and we now live in California (I also grew up there). In addition, I spent five years In Okinawa, I understand that’s where your dad’s from. Anyway, it’s great watching you fish for both salt and freshwater fish because that’s what my wife, four children and I have been doing for a minute!!! Three generations of fishermen, my dad was an avid fisherman as well and now my grandchildren are starting to fish. Thank you brother for all the entertaining fishing trips and tips, my family and I enjoy watching them so much. Retired SMSgt Dan Suzuki, USAF and Vietnam Vet 👍😎👍 PS. Like many other subscriber’s we’d appreciate it if you could give us some information on where and when you’re fishing… TY

Please everyone please DO NOT eat raw freshwater fish, PLEASE. They're not meant for raw consumption!

You should reach out to deermeatfordinner also and try and go do some filming with him.

Why do you make everything look so delicious!!?! Thank you for this video and all your past videos - they're a great escape for what's going on in the world right now. Stay safe and stay healthy, Taku & Joselyn and to your families as well.

Wow...this just made my day...I've been eating Crappie since I was a kid and it's tied with Channel Cat as my favorite freshwater eating fish. I can't wait to try making Crappie sushi, the next time I catch some.

Taku!!!’ This is what my news feeds needs, more fishing and enjoying life. Keep it coming

This video came up in my recommendations and I’m really glad it did. I live near a very clean reservoir that’s loaded with crappies and there’s only a handful of people who fishes it so I pretty much can live off crappies if I wanted to. I’ve never tried sushi before but I definitely am going to try and do this soon and would love to see more content like this with crappies or other fresh water fish.

Love your channel chef. You motivate me bro. Thank you! 💜💛

Knife is life Thank you for the break from all the stuff going on in the word

Really nice video bud! That sushi plate looked amazing! Keep up the great videos!

Knife is Life This was a dope af video to watch. Btw my 5th one watching. Appreciate your time and energy as always. Sending goodvibes to you and the whole Outdoor Chef Life family. Hoping all is well, stay safe. Thank you Taku

Knife is life Awesome video. Thank you for making a great content.

We love you Taku and Jocylyn! My husband and I sit and watch you and dream for days when we can get out and do what you're doing! We used to fish all the time when our kids were younger and now we rarely go. Where were you fishing? I love the houses!❤

Love the tutorial! Thank you for passing on the knowledge!

I have made this a few times and I love it! Your channel is so inspirational! Keep it up!

Good one! Thanks Taku - I’ll never think of crappie the same again. ✌️❤️

Love the diversity of your videos lately different fish and as usual great recipes keep up the good work bro

I'm a cook and I serve carved roasts often. I'm right handed and hold the knife in my right hand but I cut in a left handed fashion. Upside down reverse they say. (It really pisses off the dishroom guys that have to reposition my plates lol) I initially skipped the fillet lesson but I saw his finished spine and had to watch it. Really nice job! Thanks for the entertainment and smiles during this crazy time!

I enjoy the videos. you put two of my favorite things together in every video. fishing and cooking. keep it going

The drone shots at the end is cool ! The quality of your content is the best! Keep up the great work Taku!

When I sent a friend in GA a link to your page he mentioned how he couldn't do what you do since he fishes only in freshwater. Specifically because of the parasites in freshwater fish. But this video is encouraging to make a "southern" sushi recipe, maybe with bass. I like your channel since it gets me through the work day with great content. I have gone on a journey recently to define/educate myself on masculine skills (traditionally, and it brings back fond memories of family before my stepfather died. There are a handful of fishing and hunting trips we took that define part of my life. Keep doing what you're doing because some people have never been fishing or taught how to cook what they catch. There might be more outdoors enthusiast if they learn what treats nature provides. Men need positive and non-toxic outlets for their energy and I think your channel helps with that. And I might be overstepping, but put a ring on Jocylene, she is not your property and I don't know your beliefs, but if she hikes and spends hours on a boat to see you do your thing she is a keeper. May God bless you both and give you wisdom for what you do. Another thing, drink more dark beer.

This is why I love your videos. Outdoor Chef Class was awesome: learned how to fillet and saved my life (potentially) with tip to never eat fresh water fish raw! Merry Christmas to you and the beautiful Jocelyn! 🎄

Wactching from the Philippines. Great video tacu. Patience is a virtue! Yuo are a great chef. Thanks and God bless!

Taku the GOAT !!!! Keep it up this was a really cool idea and execution!!!

Awesome video bro! Definitely gonna try this next time!

Every videos gets better and better keep up the work my g

Love you guys. OK!!! I grew up in Mississippi...crappie fishing. The biggest thing to remember about them is this. One of our slang names for them is PAPERMOUTH.....meaning once hooked, you have be gentle with your retrieve because, if you horse them, you will pull through their lip and lose your fish. But, just like you did here, once you get dialed in on them, you simply finesse them and TaDaaaaa.....you have dinner! AND OMG!!!! They taste soooooo good!!!

Love your vids! Thanks for the content!

Wow! That's probably the best looking freshwater Sushi I have ever seen. Wait a minute it is the only freshwater Sushi I have ever seen. And who else but you the master who put this thing together. can great tip did not know not to eat freshwater fish Raw. Thanks for the heads up. Many blessings to you and Jocelyn can you everything that you guys do. God bless

Another Great video Taku, Keep them coming !!! wish I was there for a taste test :)

Came and watched your video just to relax. That is what I love about them.

Man I crave on your vids like: I want so much to make this and that cause crabs, seaweed and claws are so good, and you catch your own and cook at open air!

Hey Taku, too be honest this is most Crappie sushi i've ever seen :3 Great Video, can't wait for more.

“knife is life” My best friend and I have been watching your channel for about a year. It would be so cool to own these knives to take on our future adventures.

One of my favorite fish to eat!! That little flathead catfish you caught tastes just as good!

Your knife skills are one of my favorite things about your videos. I grew up crappie fishing and having huge fish fries. It's weird watching someone take such a professional approach to filleting crappie lol. My grandpa grabs his electric filet knife and whips them out in probably 30 seconds a piece with hardly any meat left behind and the skin off. Love the videos!

Those were some nice slaps. The switch up to fresh was awesome. GreAt job guys 🤙🏼🤙🏼

I loved you using the beeswax alternative to plastic wrap! I made sushi after watching your last video and was lamenting that I had pretty much rid myself of using plastic wrap but still needed it for sushi. I will try out that hack next time! Not every RU-vidr would think to do that- our Bay Area roots are showing! ;)

This is awesome! I’ve been fishing for crappie here on Big Bear Lake for years and I’ve never caught anything that big! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all the work you out into these vids man. Gorgeous.

Amazing video. I enjoyed the filet tips you gave. Video is so much clearer.

Great catch and cook video with good friends! You are a true sushi artist!

Hell ya I was talking about crappie sushi yesterday and then you post this. Awesome man¡

I've fished crappie out of random canals in the central valley, but none as big as that. Much better food supply and much better meat. One of the most sustainable fish in CA. They grow like weeds in the waters of CA and fry up beautifully. Love it.

Awesome video! Love to see more fresh water sushi! Rainbow trout spicy roll!

So many great pro tips! Thank you! 👍

Great video and thanks again guys.

Taku loves sharing his incredible, sushi, creations. ty for the info on not eating raw freshwater fish

Taku is my favorite RU-vidr for sure. So polite

Just wanted to say , you have one of the stingiest filleting knives I've ever seen.....You are GOOD brother! I am impressed. You sure showed your buddies how to catch crappies LOL I have been watching your fishing videos and I have to say you're NOT the luckiest fisherman in the world BUT you shined this day! "GOOD JOB MY FRIEND!"

Taku, you got a pretty cool soul buddy! Thanks for doing something different and keep this videos coming!

Simply mouthwatering! Luv it! Wish I was there!

“Knife Is Life” Big fan of the show!

Whenever I get hungry for fish or sushi I always watch your videos first this video I’ve watched probably 20 times but I’m hungry again been working out every day not used to it
