Who wants MORE spillway fishing??

Neighbor Darrel is a must for the C.C.C videos!! Leaving him out is like committing sin hahaha

You need to have more neighbor Darrell. Everyone needs a neighbor Darrell. Thank you for another great video. God bless.

Love spillway fishing! Besides the fact that he is wholesome AF, it's the main reason I watch 618 Fishing.

Yes!! Love neighbor Darrell! And more catch and cooks!! Keep it up bro! 👍🏼💪🏼

Love the content keep it up. I’m disabled and not able to get out and fish anymore so watching your videos keeps me motivated on life. Thank you logo keep it up brother.

It’s time to get neighbors Darrell in shape so he can be around a long time

Lojo you should talk Neighbor Darrell into writing a cookbook. We can't allow all that wonderful culinary knowledge go to waste!

Darrell needs a channel himself spreading his wisdom!! Even the cooking part!!

Shoutout Lojo for the well wishes regarding the storm. Gotta love a sincere dude like you! My family has property in Perry, FL, just a few miles from where Idalia made landfall, and, SOMEHOW, our property survived completely intact… a true blessing

More spillways and Darrel is awesome I love seeing what he comes up with.

love these catch cooks with darrell!! Good vid!!!

Love neighbor Darrel! Looks so good! Can you have him instruct us on how to fillet and cook the catfish next time? We need his recipes!

I'd definitely like to see a Gar video. Those things are prehistoric! Got a couple for you? 1 - Can you fit a Gar in your micro pond? 2 - Try "Hair rigging" your hooks with the marshmallow/cut bait? It may get you a bit more success? It's a technique used here in the UK for targeting large Carp. Google "Carp fishing boilie hair rig" or find something on RU-vid? It's pretty simple and you can pre-tie rigs up and keep them in a fishing wallet in your kit. Maybe also consider using pva carp fishing type net bags? You can then pre-mix a ground bait up with a real concoction. Perhaps a mix of all your bait in this video with a groundbait base (usually hemp seed or another specific mix?).

First off, Neighbor Daryl knows how to cook. I'm always watching him at work, and just smile as he does his thing. Next, that's the ideal sized channel catfish for eating. That 2 to 3 pound range gives you a lot of good meat, but any larger and they begin collecting a lot of not so nice contaminants in the belly meat. If you do catch and cook a bigger one, you'll want to remove that red belly meat. Further, if they're bigger, they're older, and the meat doesn't hold up as well. Speaking of, if you're catching and cooking a gar, you'll need to get it from catch to the kitchen table within a few hours. For whatever reason, the meat just turns to mush after they're killed. Good meat, but very delicate and time sensitive. On the subject of gar , don't even waste your time trying to catch them on J or worm hooks. I lucked out once hooking one in the mouth with a 3o circle, but getting through that cartilage filled jaw is nothing short of a small miracle. Your best bet is trying to get the teeth tangled in a bait. Meaning you can either wrap your bait with women's panty hose, or create a lure out of frayed rope. They're prehistoric alpha predators, so there are very few things that they can smell or see that they won't go after. You're very lucky to catch them on a lure, despite the fact that they hit more aggressively than a school of bluegill. The most efficient lure is that frayed rope concept. Use it as a jerk bait. The hook is pretty optional for the species, used mostly as a way to keep the rope onto your line. I've seen some guys use jig heads to make it a swimbait, but most just use it as a weightless top water. I'm a huge fan BTW! Good luck on your gar hunt! I can't wait to see it! BTW, switch over to circle hooks when you're doing a challenge like this. They're self setting, and are very efficient when catching carp and cats.

I bet Neighbor Darrell could have made yall some GARBALLS

Son. That’s some good eats right there! Awesome dam fishing and hard to beat friends and neighbors like Neighbor Darrell! You know it’s gonna be good when you see the Trinity go down for an Alfredo followed by that amount of seasoning!!!! Love it brother!

Dam fishing is so much fun because you never know what you might catch! Keep up the good work man!

I remeber watching a video just likes this of yours a few months ago. That video was a spark in my addiction to fishing again. Thank you

LOJO THANK YOU your awesome and Darrel you make my mouth watery with your cooking it’s just amazing team work and shout out to Andrew

Always love to see a new lojo video!! Looking good, keep up the hard work brother🙏

LOJO, I'm a fairly new subscriber, so just props to a fellow service member. But I love the clean and cook of the giant gar..... (do it). However, I was engaged in the building of the camper and norms house.... anyways some of those diy projects was my candy! (loved the community togetherness and direction) used in those videos.

Neighbor Darrel is your hook. He keeps it going in the experience and the cooking.

Yes to the Gar fishing thing! 🤙🏻 Love fishing for Gar.

I AINT NEVER GON STOP WATCHING LOJO VIDEOS!

Go get the Gar!! Thank you for the videos. Health issues and the Arizona heat wave have kept me from fishing for almost 6 months now. Tight Lines

You have a good time on video and I can only imagine the “Off Camera” moments. It is nice to watch dudes having fun fishing. Keep Up the Good Work!

Those river dams hold a ton of fish of just about anything that swims!! ❤

Love the spillway fishing and enjoy the catch clean cook with neighbor Darrell.

Awesome video!!! You made me hungry!!!!! Like to see you guys land one of those huge gars!! Great cooking job Darrell!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!

love you LOJO keep up the good work.

Havnt seen neighbor Darrel in a minute it’s good seeing him on the channel

Love Neighbor Darrell....He rocks.

Another awesome 618 Fishing video!

Definitely want a gar fishing video that would be amazing!

Alligator gar fishing videos at the spillway for sure that would be awesome LOJO

Hell yes wee need neighbor Darrel cooking!!

Maybe for one of the last videos of the year ya'll can make a day of fishing and then a cookout with neighbor Darryl. A nice catch a cook and other cook out food with the crew. 1rod,Ayo,JohnB,LunkerTV,YakPak,Norm if yall cool again, Logan, Dev,Samlls and a whole lot of silver Bullets! 🍻

I’m sure you do a lot for neighbor Darrel, but I think it would be so cool for you to do or get something big for him just for being such an awesome neighbor

Awesome video like always LOJO . Always enjoy neighbor Darrell and his cooking can wait to see him cook up some Venison and Some Doves .. But for real Gar are good eats like Mr Darrell said ya cut up the back with tin snips and you get two boneless back straps of good meat . One way I cook it is wrapped in tin with butter and pepper but you can add whatever else you want. Another way is Gar patties make them just like you do Salmon patties . Last ones I fixed I used the jiffy corn muffin mix and My Son loved them. Stay Safe and Keep’em coming

You inspire me to keep wanting to go fishing every day. Please keep doing what you do because its not just me that love these videos!

Always want more spillway videos, and yes more GAR!! Need to come up to Lake Ontario, for some salmon fishing!

Definitely do the gar video, but rig like you're trying to catch sharks (stronger hooks and metal leader) . Neighbor Darrel needs to give a cooking class ! 👍

Insulate and finish your cabin in the woods. Let Mrs. Jo decorate it. make a 4 season screen / canvas wall outdoor kitchen, gravel floor (raised floors attract rodents, hornets etc...)

It's always good to see a spillway river C,C,and C with neighbor Darryl the fishing action was great food looks delicious I really want to see you eat gar again but remember it's chewy so cook it twice amazing video as always I can't wait for the next one

One thing I remember about fishing growing up in NW Florida is that gar are serious bait stealers, especially the smaller ones.

I have an idea LOJO. You should schedule a meet and greet with your fans and have Darrell be the cook. Heck you can even charge per plate. I would drive from Florida for that, for sure!

I hope Daryl gets some money or gifts from his participation In the videos. He deserves it. Men Like him are few and far between, especially these days. God bless you Daryl

Missing the podcast on my days of work but loving the content

Dude keep cranking out the BANGERS 🫡

If more dam fishing means more neighbor Darrell then heck yeah more dam fishing videos.

loved the cook and clean Darrel definitely made it better

more spillway vids and MORE neighbor darrel!!!!!!!!

lUV the vids, haven't seen you this excited to be fishing in a long time.

That meal. OMG. THAT LOOKS 🔥🔥🔥

Cooking with neighbor Darrel could be its own series

Take Darrell fishing to the spillway 😅 that would be an interesting video

Would love to see that gar video. Great video as always LoJo can’t wait for the next one

Love the variety of fishing you do!

YES, a big gar video would be awesome. Andrew, next time don't ask just get the damn net!!!😂

I love google lures so much but I recently lost my jr contender because I got it stuck in my hand and it hurt so bad sorry that’s kinda random just felt like sharing keep up the great vids I loves seeing them and I fish a lot so this really shows how much work you put into making a great one

We need more of this ! Look up specific ways to catch gar. It gets wild!

Yes plz go for gar. I’ve been sending out live bluegill rigs for bass and gar will get them 90 percent of the time. They either snap the line, the hook, or just come off. Would love to see you try and go after them and do a taste test with neighbor Darrel

idk why but my favorite of your videos is when you fish this dam also you should do a strictly live bait only video at the dam

I really think you should try to put on a metal leader line and put a treble hook at the end and try to fish for the biggest gar you can 👌👍👍

I like how Darrell broke out the fancy plastic plates, no paper or foam today son.

Love the new video brother keep up the awesome work 🤙🏻🤙🏻

It's getting close to time for some hunting content can't wait to see a big buck go down

We definitely want a big gar catch and cook!

Keep up the great content man!! Love these river and spillway videos! Your an inspiration bro!

Looking forward to a massive gar catch

Another banger of a video, definitely need to do a gar video 👍👍

🙋 let's gooo! Love seeing neighbor Darrel in the vids. When is his restaurant coming? Need to try some of his cooking.

Let's see the catch clean cook on a massive gar! That would be awesome

The best Lojo videos are the ones w Daryl!!!

Love the spillway fishing. But a gar video would be epic!!!

No offense... BEST VIDEO IN A MINUTE , MY MAN. I like fishing based content. I like hunting based content But MOST OF ALL... NAYBER DURL! CONTENT!!🔥

I love your spillway fishing

It would be my absolute dream to see you guys go Gar fishing!

Love when you do stuff with Darrell. He's cool as F. Just like you and Andrew.

Would definitely like to see you guys specifically target gar!!!

My Friday just got a little better! 👍

Amazing spillway fishing video Lojo. These are by far my son and I's favorite ones to watch. And topping it off with neighbor Darrell's cooking is always a nice added bonus. He seems like such a great guy.

Andrew w/ the most clutch rod catch 😂

the fish in this river probably feed primarily on shad and other bait fish with white features, making a marshmallow a great bait

I live in Houston and to go up to fish Lake Livingston and the Trinity River for huge Alligator Gar is amazing. Im talking 6-8-10ft gar. They aren't as bad to eat as you would think they are. The smaller ones are better for eating. A dedicated gar video would be awesome. Use a wire leader for them though or they will bite right through your line every time. Also a very sharp thick hook to drive it through that bone in their jaw is key. They are super fun to fish for due to the challenge of just getting a good hookup and keeping it on. Not to mention the fight of a huge one.

Sup lojo, what's great about some spillways is some hade a little danger, especially with hurricane on way🤣😂, never know if get a giant, I couldn't fish there, can't walk 50yds anymore 😢, dream is fish with you, cook with Darrell lol. Even a cook-off, but I need a stool🥺, hope hurricane didn't do much damage there, sure will be video, but don't cut fish bait and smell it😂, Darrell did great job, I'm actually making batches of seasonings, blackening seasoning, have a gochujang recipe for catfish too, well tmi, great video bro, hope all is well. Tyvm tc 🎣

Always enjoy your content and Neighbor Darrell is the MAN!

Neighbor D is the man!!

Hell yeah man!!! Let’s goooooo!!!!🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Neighbor darrel needs a cooking show called Cooking With Neighbor Darrel

Favorite spot me and the family hit there's some serious Donkeys!! 🐠 swimming in there .Great vid 👍

Awesome video! You wouldn't believe how big some of those river gar get. I saw a 7 feet one swim by a couple weeks ago while night fishing. Insane how big they can get! Keep up the great work! Always love watching your content! Hope to fish with you someday!

Killin it brother, cant beat a day at the spillway! Much love to yall ❤

Gar vid lojo. Keep up the great job man. Love the content.

You can leave the bail open and put a Little Rock or something on the line so when the fish takes it the line moves from under the rock so it’s easy to tell if something touched it. Unless you have too much current.

Gar balls are AWESOME!

we neeeeeeed more of these!! 😉

My recommendation is to get some circle hooks and chuck it out and loosen up the drag to where if you get a run the rod won’t get sucked into the water and when the time comes crank that drag down and bring that thang in brother, that’s the way we do it on the surf here in Houston Tx 👍🏼👍🏼 much love brother
