Just started watching, and you're videos are some of the best I've seen. The information is great. I'm tired of just watch people fish without explaining anything.

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos. I like the way you explain what you are doing and using. I crappie fish a lot and yet I am still able to pick some tips from you. Don't change a thing!

Not much better than some Crispy Crappie! I always use the egg wash I’ll have to try the hot sauce. My favorite fish batter is Andy’s Red . Your daughter is sweet! It’s great that she’s not to shy to be on YouTube. Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Lester Me and my extended family is having a fish fry for Thanksgiving this year. We’ve had plenty of ham and turkey so far. I’m ready for some golden crispy Crappie, hush puppies and my wife’s homemade coleslaw! The cold cold weather is on the way! I’m ready to start finding them suspended crappie grouped up in that cold water! God bless

Yellow cornmeal with 1 tbs salt per cup of meal. With fish in a colander squirt a little yellow mustard and move fish around to get a light coating as a binder. Take fish from colander to cornmeal and then to 350 deg oil. Good eating right there!

It might have been tough on the water but I bet it was great at the supper table, love your videos and your daughter is precious keep up the good work and family time

I was out yesterday, morning they wouldn't touch anything. Afternoon less stubborn. I tie my own hair jigs, when it gets tough I tip the jig with a minnow. My go to color, white 1/32nd head that I add glitter to the paint. Powder blue new age chenille body, white tail.

Changing in the barometric pressure from blue bird to cloudy is 👍

I had a few tough days like that. Sure makes you appreciate those good days. Looks like you got a fishing partner that will keep your secrets. Man those fillets looked tasty. My wife and I really like eating those Crappie also. Keep those videos coming.

Another great video Brandon! That’s exactly how I fillet mine. We’ve been hammering some slabs on Barkley Lake

Crappie are best fried. I will try the hot sauce binder. I like to let my batter set before frying by setting them on a pan for 15 minutes battered. Keep crumbs from burning in the grease. I can reuse the grease a lot more.

Thanks again for a great video. Really appreciate your skills. ( Bass and Crappie)

I fish tidal water in eastern N.C. and I’m ready for some cold weather myself to get these fish bunched up around the mouth of creeks. I too like the zatarains fish fry and I use two step with it but I will definitely try the hot sauce next time for sure. Preciate the video sir!

[jeffschlegel]

I use 3/4 cup of Andy's yellow corn meal to 1/4 cup of Andy's Cajon. Every body in my family likes it that way. I live in South East Missouri, and your right, water temp needs to get colder.Thanks for the video.!!

Another awesome video. I’m 99 % jigs here on grand lake ok. I use a mixture of corn meal and flour and seasoning salt and pepper and ginger. More heat more pepper more zing more ginger. Hopefully I can make a trip down to Tennessee after your bass season next year and fish and learn from you.

Brandon I egg, wash drain in collender. I use progresso seasoned bread crumbs put in a doubled up paper bag, to do the breading job . Works great for shaking the fish around. I do tape the corners of the paper sack. I also place the fish in a wire basket, that way they all go in at the same time. Happy fishing

[randallmiller]

Looks like a good recipe for the breading. I'm going to try the hot sauce binder for sure.
