Easiest way to catch SLAB CRAPPIE! {Catch, Clean, Cook} Best fried fish dipping sauce ever! 

Tug Trash Outdoors!! One of the best channels on youtube!!

That first crappy that you caught was an absolute stud !! Congrats ! 🎣🎣

I’ve never seen crappie that big in my life. Very interesting recipe. Great show. I love you both.

1 of these days I'm conmen down for dinner, Tug, Krystal and D. It's only a 15 to 17 hr drive, for it would be well worth it. Love you all, Semper Fi.

Richard Gene the Fishing Machine intro music for a crappie video. Who would've guessed!!😅😅😅 Keep on! And remember, goooo fishin' when you can 'cuz it's gooood for ya!!!!

I’m proud of you bro, hell if you only caught 2 that’s still great. To do something on your own and succeed is more than fantastic and I’m happy for you.

Those were some stud specks. I love how real you guys are and your love for the outdoors. I truly relate.

Those were definitely some slabs! As a Virginian, I agree with you about Duke's Mayo. I also love the House Autry breadings.

cheers for taking us along

Getting them on your own is a different feeling! Solid work

gabe would be proud nice size you did good y'all stay safe see next trip

Krystal with a K seems like she's a trooper! Lips her own fish and everything! Those are some certified slab crappies, my man. Crappie is my favorite freshwater fish to eat, too. Always been a saltwater guy, but I found that I really enjoy catfishing at night. Those big channel cats on light tackle are a hoot!

My wife will hear “never question a master at work”. 😂

Before fish finders we use to crappie fish with minnows under a slip float since they swim in schools we would take one we caught tie pice line to it through the lip and other end to a pop bottle the fish would return to the school and we would fish around the bottle and hammer them

I absolutely love that you used Richard Gene the fishing machines music to go Crappie fishing! Great video.

Nocked it out of the park again tug ! Another excellent video!

Your videos always puts a big smile to my face. I'm gonna have to watch your videos before I start my day to keep me motivated. Stay awesome and keep up the great videos!!!!

You done good! Start to finish an enjoyable video. You are no longer a novice Crappie fisherman.

Crappie…. My first love! I have 5 over 3lbs and many 50lb, 25 fish limits. You’re doing it right! In ca We can only use 2 jigs per rod and 2 rods if you pay extra. Mainly when trolling I pay attention to the wind wave direction, depth, speed (.4-2.0mph) and skirt colors. 4lb test 1/16oz jig @1.2 will run about 8’ deep. 2 jigs @ 1/16ox will run 11-12 feet deep. Remember they look up…. Great series mister!

I think you need to thank Richard Gene, the fishing machine. Your intro song is from his shows and he catches more Crappie than anybody.

I agree with you Krystal. Specs are my favorite. I call it a clean virgin fish. Doesn’t taste too fishy.

Aloha Ian. Not gonna lie, left Florida after graduating in 92. Pretty much over the ubiquitous fried plates you got. Dubious fish, scallops, shrimp, and copious amounts of tasteless hush puppies. But, I would eat the crap outta that. Just good ole fashioned fish fry!

Man, I love you guys videos. Still got a couple weeks up here in VA before the crappie get biting but I can’t wait. Definitely my favorite freshwater fish. Also love how Krystal, with a K, calls em quiet dogs. My daughter calls em silent dogs. Tight lines and straight shots from VA. 👍

Nice crappie zoids!! ME and my husband use to catch 100s of them on lake Altoona in GA. Dang good eating!! We would have fish Fry's and everybody would show up 😊 Thanks for doing great videos. Especially the one where you went camping with the gators. Best one yet!!!

Those were some of the biggest crappie I've ever seen TT. Even the smallest on the table would be a trophy here in Nebraska. And your fry looked awesome!

We called giant crappie like ones you caught saddlebags . Or at least my grandpa,uncles and dad did. They some good eating.

Awesome video, loved how excited the wife got! Hope to see you out there as I live in Hilliard.

Those are some slabs. FAMILY FIRST

Them hush puppies look so good with them crappy I thought I was getting ready to get a piece ... Lol tug trash 4 life... 😂

Awesome video!!!! I love crappie fishing and you hooked some monsters!!!!

Beautiful specks! I’m going to try the jalapeno’s in my next hush puppies "

Dude, those are absolute SLABS! I fish them up north in Wisconsin and they don't get that big! It's super interesting to see you troll for them. We fish smaller bodies of water and jig. But, you are using the same tackle as we use! Jigs and twister tails! Super cool.

The only thing I do different is try putting your corn meal or flour in a paper bag, It’ll keep your seasoning dryer, Especially if you’re frying a lot of fish!

Use 2 jigs about 12 inches apart, on a loop knot. Put the heavier one at the top. I use 1/8 and 1/16. Thats what works well here.

Ian I love to speck fish. I fished Dead / Cresent Lake Weds, Thurs, and Friday. We caught over 100. I have a great boat for Speck fishing. Keep up the good video's Love you guys. God Bless

Catch them in SC in April up near the banks on deadfall trees and shallow brush. Jigs under corks or Minnows under corks and they are fun!

Awesome. I recognize those waterways. Right by my house.

😮 big ones i haven't seen this yet in my state Birmingham Alabama great job respect from 205 pisces black alpha Male Birmingham Alabama home of the civil rights movement

Now you know what crappie fishing is all about!! I’ll be at Okeechobee 3/3

Tug, Slab City! I’m hungry for some right now, thinking I’m fishin tomorrow morning, great vid bro. Keep Them Rods Bent!

Paused the video, just got me an 8in fixed with yer code thanks for that sir!!! Watching the rest now!

Congratulations on catching Speck on your own!! Loved the excitement!! So much fun!

😂😂 I thought me and my dad were excited when we figured it out last weekend … we caught some sho nuff nice ones also and have never done it before in our lives we got to a point where we were dropping them on the deck trying to measure them and they just flop overboard and we would just laugh and catch another one fast as it hit the water absolute blast !!!!!

2:34 tank of a speck man!!!

Your excitement is so infectious, like a huge little boy. Great job on those specs!!

Looks like you all had a lot of fun catching the fish. 🐟 The food looks absolutely delicious. 😋

Love the videos. You have a beautiful wife and daughter and I like that this is a family lifestyle. Without them, it is all for nothing. Just my thought. First saw you with Gabe. He loves y'all and that is kool with me. I saw that y'all camp here in South Kakalaky and that is another plus. I live just southeast of Columbia. Keep up the good vids and more of the Tug Boat ones too. Take care brother. Florida is beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us all!!

Love the videos but also the banter between yous!

That first fish was a definite mounter!! Congratulations!!

Seriously, this is making my mouth water. Congrats on the catch! Huge ones! Can’t wait for the next video!!

Thanks for showing the KFRED container. Keep on cookin!! Nice videos

Looks great mister. Nice that your girl likes to fish as well. Thanks

Awesome video, thank you Tug! God Bless you and your family!

Well you and Krystal caught some 5 gallon slabs of specs!

Thank you for great videos I'm learning a lot watching you cook thank you for the good tips thank you

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Not sure when crappie spawn is down there, but that's the time when you can really put a hurtin' on them. That shallow water spawn bite is blast! Crappie ceviche!

Loved seeing you guys on Bluegabes video.

Another great video Tug, the crappie looked amazing. Cant beat the taste of a Panfish. Thanks for sharing..

TT you are so down to earth, o and miss K to. Love your stuff keep it rocking. I will be in touch

OMG I love this video and how you prepared them!! Thank you so much for sharing your days and what you do ! Coming to florida in April, so hopefully my husband and I find some places to go fishing and crabbing :) We are from Maryland, so we are missing the outdoors right now :) God bless!

Yay! Way to go!

Great video learned something and great fish fry really made me want to try that kind of fish but keep up the great work till next time

Congrats on the SLABS! I'm gonna try that special Ian sauce next time I fry some fish, looked delish!

I always look forward to your videos they give me joy 😊

Great fish catch and fry.

Awesome video! Our Nursing Home Fishing Team, fished Cresent Lake, and the canal over to Dead Lake from 2-7 thru 2-9-24! Caught a lot of 2lb. fish! My fishing partner and I brought home 97 nice specks! Keep the videos coming, I enjoy them! That dipping sauce looks good, will have to give it a try!

Excellent!! Loved it!

Remember to go fishing when you can cause it's good fer you!

Great job much love Tug and Kristal. Another great video 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

You are always giving great videos . Ilook forward to them. Thanks you.

Great video. I remember catching what we called specs or speckled perch in a small lake in Hawthorne, FL with my buddy and his wife scaled em, applied a light breading and friend em up. Pretty tasty but nothing like those you are pulling in.

Thank the Heavens you showed up! I was getting bored and then I saw "Tug".....I have entertainment until dinner, yeah!

Thanks for the videos man. Entertaining and also can learn something new. This is a REAL channel to watch. Much love god bless

Rock it Ian. Such good fish. Enjoyed it!

Crappie is my favorite type of fishing, so relaxing. It is also my favorite freshwater fish to eat, period ! There is a lot of different ways to catch them wit live bait or artificial lures. Hook and bobber or slip bobber or tight line jigging or casting or shooting docks or trolling ( I'm not a fan of trolling ). Great video, looks like ya'll had a blast !

Hi We just saw you at the Sonny's drive thru. We were lovin' on your puppy. Our son just sent us your video😊

I know I'm envious! Nice to see how thrilled you were smiling like a kid in a candy shop LOL 😊

Awesome video love some crappie

Great recipe. Cannot wait to try. Ian, you remind me of my brother. You could have been twins

That was awesome. Those were some of the biggest specs I’ve ever seen. Fried Specs and Hush Puppies! It don’t get no better.

Holy Crap 😳 that 1st one is Huge!!

Awesome video guys... Some of my favorite type of fish and you for sure had some tanks. Anyway as always your content is fresh and wholesome. Just what we need nowadays. God bless and I look forward to the next.😊

I gotta try that up here in VA when things warm up a bit. Thanks for sharing

Amazing fishing bro!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the awesome video!!🎣🎣🎣💯💯💯💯

Tug those were some toads. Loved the video. Stay safe

Blue Gabe would be upset with you, not frying the backbones and eating the fins!!!🤣

Catfish, crappie and mullet my three favorites. You won't get any sweeter meat than crappie.

Love the vids tug

Great video as always Tug! I thought Piggly Wiggly went out of business, we had them in Ky 30+ years, haven't seen one in a long time. After watching this I feel embarrassed that I ate a 3 piece fish meal from Captain D's today LOL but it was good :)

Crappie are awesome eating Not bad on the fillet job. My go to batter is shore lunch. Simple but so good.

Those are big crappie! Would love to see a detailed video on how to troll for crappie like that

thanks Tug..makes me think of coming to Florida to fish

Got to you through Blue Gabe but man I love you videos! Keep doing you

Ian it was good to see you and Krystal with a K , on Gabe's video the other day We call them crappie here in east Texas , but those are ginormous

Holy s*** that first crappie had to be a 2 1/2 lb that's a citation where I'm from!!

Awesome Slabs I’ve caught some good ones but only one that was close to the first one you caught!❤

@0:39 sport mode engaged

Very nice fish they huge my biggest was 2and one half lbs great to eat keep going good luck GA

Dude, congrats finding them on your own. It took me until I was 25 to catch my first. I was in taxidermy school and I caught what I thought was a monster, a whopping 12” fish! 😂. I ended up mounting it in school… then I moved down gear at 39 and I laugh thinking about that mount now
