PADDLEFISH Snagging {Catch Clean Cook} REWARD TAG $$

- Paddlefish or spoonbills have been on mine and my dads bucket list of fish to catch forever. We head to Missouri for a short trip to pick up a jet motor and thought we ought to try our hand at snagging paddlefish. With rain in the forecast and basically having pure luck my dad ended up snagging a good fish just before we had to head back to the ramp. This fish is one of the weirdest fish I have ever seen. They do not have any bones and the spinal cord is actually removed while cleaning. We took our catch back home to see what these fish tasted like. We cooked it a few different ways to really get the flavor of the fish. I hope you all enjoyed this video. I still have to check one of these guys off my bucket list.

Because of mullet man I know whats good to eat and whats not!!!
Lol people be sayin only asian people eat cats but even mullet man eats cats lmao❤
I live in East TN and we used to go to down to Rogersville dam and snag them. We call them (shovel bill). They run up next to the power plant to the warm water. The power plant is shut down now. So you have to go down river to fish for them. Some buddys and me used to go atleast 2or 3 times a week in spring till they started up the river. We caught a bunch. I have never ate one. But one my fishing buddies ate them and he said to soak it in (butter milk) or (beer) over night before cooking. But we caught some up to about 75 to 90 lbs. They sure are fun to catch. When they start to run up the river they look like sharks with there top fin out of the water. Its wild to see, they will swim on top the river and they will jump out the water to. But thanks for the videos and time it takes. Be safe God bless you and your family.
U guys have some beautiful property. I really like how ur whole family is so supportive n helpful in the recording of these killer videos. Can tell there's alot of love there. Keep grinding man. Love the content.
You have to have a mullet for a long time to compare Swordfish with Alligator Gar.
I’ve had it 3 or 4 times...all fried. Back in the late 90s up until about 6-8 years ago, certain commercial fisherman here in NW MS were targeting these...just for their eggs. They were selling it to the Russians for caviar. We had several fisherman coming by my work giving away boatloads of these. The only thing they were keeping out of the fish would be the eggs. Pretty sure the restrictions have gotten tougher because the Asian carp are wiping these spoonbills out. The Asian carp are eating all of their food...both are filter feeders like you said. Just wanted to share my knowledge with y’all. Oh yea, you have got to eat them hot! If you re-heat them, tastes like mud! Great vid as always. Stay safe and GOD Bless!
Joe in MS
My brother tried snagging a carp on a raffle trap while he was reeling t back in he caught a ten pound bass
Dad and son remembers last for ever... hope me and son can have some great memories like ya is... good up
Love your vids mullet man keep up the great work
Bc of you mullet man I am growing a mullet person I love ur vids keep up the good work
Great time with your pops! That’ll feed the fam for a bit!
were you able to get ahold of the people with tag info?
How this guy doesn’t have a million subscribers is beyond me I just recently found this channel after watching LFG and can’t get enough been been watching like crazy for real though keep em coming god bless y’all and stay eatin good 🤙🏼
I'm glad to see big youtubers showing the world about the great paddlefish. Not many people know about paddlefish snagging. I caught at 67 1\2 pound paddlefish 3 weeks ago.
That was a good video man love the channel
Spoonbill snagging is like a holiday in Missouri almost like the first day of Deer season
Soaking it in Italian dressing and smoking it like salmon is the best way that I have found. My little town is crazy when the spoonbill are running!
I thought PAPA MULLET was going to give it a higher rating, the fish always taste better when you're the only one that caught one.
You should make a video of the chickens and garden mullet man stay safe and keep up the awesome work 🤘🏾
We smoke the spoonbills on a cedar plank low and slow for about 5 hours. After 5 hours take cedar and fish out of the smoker. Season with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Then throw away the fish and eat the plank!!! It taste much better!!!!
Your an awesome youtuber keep up the good work your one of my favorite youtuber
Paddlefish snagging season was to begin may 1st in ND, but the season was cancelled because of Covid-19
I knew it!! Your Dad said it tastes like River water....that's hilarious!! Great Video!!
Siempre veo tus vídeos amigo me gusta lo que ases...👍👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
More of these please this one was cool
I HAVE SEEN A PADDLE FISH ONCE WHEN I WAS A PUP,(OVER 50 YRS AGO) .I WAS TOLD THAT IT TASTED LIKE DIRTY SOCKS AS A CHILD YOU REMEMBER THINGS THAT TASTE LIKE SOCKS..
MIKE SR SURE WAS HAPPY WHEN HE CAUGHT IT ,NOT SO MUCH WHEN HE TASTED IT.
GOD BLESS ANGEL YOU AND THE WHOLE "MULLET" CLAN.
BE SAFE OUT THERE
(DAY 30 SOMETHING, HELL I LOST COUNT,OF LOCK DOWN QUARANTINE AND IT SUCKS )
Hey pops your CAPS LOCK is on
@@stevebauman3785 lol, my dad types in cap lock too, it's the only way he can see what he's typing!
I caught 26 spoonbill in about 8 hours didn’t keep any all catch and release but was some of the best fishing I’ve ever done was a blast And I heard you need to soak them in salt water for a good time before you cook
Very nice catch, Rare fish‼️
Can’t wait for snagging season to start up here in Iowa
The eggs from the paddle bill is an expensive Caviar. I live in Arkansas and people use to set nets out on the Arkansas River to catch them just for the eggs.
That thing is gnarly bro! Hope you and your family are doing well
Love you mulley😁
We snag lots of Spoonbills in Oklahoma. I’ve been told they stick their bill in the mud bottom , flip it up and filter mud through gills to sort out plankton, thus the muddy taste.
Soak with lime and water for a few minutes and then rinse with water. Marinade over night in teriyaki sauce and season with Everglades fish and chicken when you grill it. Delish!
Done this many times in Williston North Dakota it’s a workout especially from shore
me and my family go snagging every season here in illinois. we have always fried spoonbill never tried it any other way
I feel like mullet man should have way more sub
Awesome video man that is a cool looking fish I wanna catch me one eat good
We either smoke it or take lemon pepper a little bit of pepper lemon powder and some lemon slices then whatever else you want then bake it
I love your video
I've seen one once at a pay lake here in Indy someone caught they call them spoon bill
have never caught one but asolutely love your video. Just Sub bro.
Nice catch
Mullet man I wish I knew you was coming up to my neck of the woods, I would have taken you and your dad. I’ve been 3 times this year and have put 31 “bills” on the boat. And yes you have to clean them very good, or they are just nasty, get rid of all the dark red meat, and soak them in salty salty vinegar water for a day, rinse and enjoy! Very good eating if they are cleaned right! Maybe next season we’ll work something out. My biggest so far this year was 73 lbs
Frying is the best way. And it is some really good fish and it puts me in the mind of some catfish honestly very close to it.
Lol that's awesome didn't know you was in Missouri big fan of yours that's where I'm from
Im so glad y'all came to Missouri and got a paddlefish go to under the dam there in there good smallies flatheads the hole shabang
Excellent video!!! LOL @ tasting a little bit like river water
Awesome. Was hoping you would do a paddle fish video.
I love the videos and see what you think about spoonbill! I go every year and its a blast. We put it on the smoker it and its one of the best ways you can eat it. I definitly recomind it, you should make a video about it.
In the ozarks area of Missouri we call them spoonbill. Popular spring time deal when they run up rivers. Still haven’t done it.
First spoonbill I ever snagged here in Oklahoma was actually banded as well! It was missing the majority of its bill, and banded. Pretty cool!
Snagging started here yesterday and I haven’t been able to go yet. I’m so going Monday after work
Namibia. Here we go!!
The season got closed up here in ND but people usually smoke it
I use to snag a ton of those in the Trinity River below the dam as a kid. At that time you could not keep them.
“It’s not terrible” lol. Used to see people snagging them at the Red River Lock and dam in La.
Grits and Glamour Lock #5 is where we go on the Red. Caught a few that weighed over 75lbs.
Colton Herren yup #5 is the one I’m talking about. Lived in Shreveport 43 yrs until we moved to WA state 3 years ago. Lots of stripers pulled out of there for sure.
Ya I snag lock 2,3,an 4 in la catch some monster spoonies and cat. Shame u can't keep em snagging in Louisiana
I live by lock and dam #1 and not far from #2
i jerky mine ,same seasoning as deer jerky and smoke it till dry ,great snack while out on the water ,,
You need to go to Glendive, MT and paddlefish on the Yellowstone!
Spoonbill here in western ky, we catch alot at Barkley dam and ky dam we soakem in ice water a few hours after we clean them and then over night soak in butter milk or apple juice and then fry them up hella good snack
An old man where I live makes jerky with paddlefish and it was actually pretty good. As for what they are called I’ve called them both but depending on who you talk to a spoonbill is a duck not a fish lol. So I mostly call them paddlefish.
Not gonna lie, you really didn't sell me on eating the spoonbill. Haha it was a good video though and a cool ass fish.
We used to catch them in northwest Mississippi and we love them we called them water chickens
Good stuff. Thanks for the video Michael!
When I’ve eaten the paddle fish, I didn’t care for it. It was battered and cooked in a deep fryer. Just didn’t care for it at all. Far, in my opinion, was 10 times better.
Personally smoked spoonbill is my favorite way to eat it since it's a tougher fish
When were you up in the james river arm bud? I could've sworn I saw ya'll. I'm at 6 tags this year but I'm a local there.
I snag spoonbill every year in Warsaw Missouri.. grill it with lemon pepper its amazing.. another way is in foil with lemon pepper butter and onions.. its taste 2 gamey to fry.
Smoked paddlefish is really good. I grew up in South Dakota on the Missouri River. I beleive that fishery has become very restricted for them since then. What did you find out about the tag?
They are called spoonbills where I'm from in KY. Only legal to keep one one week of the year. The best fish ever to eat!
I get your Pop's description, lol. Sometime I get the same taste from certain catfish. They breed them for Caviar now, and the roe is high dollar.
I live here in Oklahoma we see spoonbill here all the time especially here at Eufaula dam I cought them on accident several times there catfishing but when I do go fishing for them we smoke them or grill on a charcoal grill them fried they taste fishy fried and after you pull them off the grill a little salt and pepper and butter
Bbq smoked is delicious jus slather it with your sauce mop like youd do with ribs while you got it on the grill
we use foil and make a shallow pan and grill it in butter and garlic on the BBQ. Tastes good and helps it not to dry out.
we catch them all the time in Oklahoma my biggest was 103 pond and they get bigger then that
I just went up to Oklahoma and did that and our biggest one was 53lbs. It was a blast!
4.5’ if tha mullet man gave him 4.5 throw it back and let live to fight another day ! Lol
Good job guys ....
Mullet man is on table rock fishing outta cape fair that is my back door should ordered critter glitter to have you bring it up.
I catch them in the Red River below Texoma. We boil them in crawfish boil eats just like crab meat. We also make crab cakes from it. Best way I had it so far.
Your Dad is so funny -- he described it like I would describe Catfish -- tastes like the bottom of a dirty fish tank. Ugh! Give me ocean fish anytime. (^_^)
You dumb. 1.5-5 pound cats taste delicious fried up. Pair that with some crappie and you got a great meal.
I have always wondered what those taste like. I’m sheltering in place on our ranch shooting ground squirrels 🐿 in good old Comifornia
Got rain!? Those 2 all bundled up n hunkered down on the boat ride back. Never seen that kind of fish before, crazy looking n interesting little guy with its bill n spinalcord n stuff. I looked it up n it has like 4 different names n the caviar is equal to sturgeon caviar in quality n luxury.
Need an update on how the chickens, garden, Angel n Mini Mullet are all doing. Ole Mullet Sr is looking good, are those natural guns or he throwing some iron around?
You can call them spoonbill. We call them paddlefish. In Texas you would call them Perch. Just kidding, I'm a big fan. Keep making great videos!
I just went last week
Alrighty.lol so me and an friend recently did the same thing, at the time, we have never seen or tasted a spoonbill. While shooting Asian carp in KY we caught a spoon and decided to take it back and cook it. We did it with Italian style bread crumbs, accent seasoning salt and slap yo mama seasoning and fried it. It left 2 picky eating kids and a pregnant woman wanting more.lol it was amazing
We make hot pot fish soup and they are the boom.
Also good beer battered
Great video man. I wish I didn't live in upstate NY you can't really catch anything where I live they don't bite for nothing
Come up to MO during season and I’ll put you guys on some 50+lb spoonbill. You’re supposed to cut all the yellow meat off cuz that’s all fat, cut all the red meat off and then soak overnight in salt water. If it’s dry you cooked it too long. It’s supposed to taste like catfish but have the texture like chicken nuggets.
I used to go to OK frequently to snag paddlefish all though highschool and college. I have eaten them. They are not my favorite. One night I was fishing there and two of my buddies showed up in a Luv pickup (remember them?). We caught our 5 fish each in a couple of hours and filled up the back of the pickup.
What kind of cameras do you use for your videos?
Bro let us know about the tag once you find out about it Haha I'm interested now
The water they come out of have a big influence on the taste... the ones we catch here in the red in north la are pretty good. What was the tag out come?
Most people call them spoon bill here in Oklahoma. They taste like dirty river water to me as well.
My favorite way to eat spoonbill is deep fry it with a good beer batter
R u in the ozarks in Missouri ?
There is a big research center in north east Oklahoma for spoonbill and it’s on grand lake
That’s a smaller one then normally for here
Just outside of Miami Oklahoma
Missouri, my home state
Nice Video
Try and wrap soder on the shank of the treble hook and you can eliminate the weight great old trick for snagging i know
i soak them in salt water for 3 days (change the water every day). i drive 8 hours from Iowa to Oklahoma every year to get them.
you should do a euro mount
We call it a spoon bill in Louisiana
