This is a kind of odd comment, but just before Bourdain died I found Rinella. I am an avid reader, chef and outdoorsman and Tony had been my totem for a decade at least and his shows were like a beautiful frame hung around stories of people I would never meet. His death was pointless and sad and for a time I also thought it was the end of empathetic and poetic Gonzo journalism. Then I found out zero point zero has produced a show that the guy who was on Rogan had made. I think Steve and meat eater as a whole exactly embody what Tony saw as perfect travel journalism and I would just like to offer this weird testimony as thanks to everyone involved. Ed. BTW whoever picked these two dudes to go fishing together is a genius.
Couldn't agree more, Michael! Excellent comment. I've worked as a cook for a number of years and recently - in my mid-30s - fallen in love with the outdoors and started hunting. Rinella's books, podcast, and show have been huge for me, especially in light of Bourdain's passing. Thanks for this insight. I don't think I'd really made that connection in my head before. Bravo!
Bourdain didn't "pass", he killed himself. It's one of the most selfish things a person can do, and you people need to stop comparing Steve to that asshole. This wasn't some "tragedy that could have been prevented if we were just more aware of mental health" or however they sold it, it was a horrible act by a person who obviously didn't give a damn how their actions effected people who cared about them. Stop trying to canonize the man, "he was my totem". He was the host of a tv show that you liked, and perhaps an author you enjoyed. Jfc people are nuts, holding up some mentally ill prick as a comparison like it's a COMPLIMENT!
@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing watched this episode on my lunch break. Sorry I'm a year late seeing it. Thanks for a relaxing 25 mins in an otherwise stressful day. Its inspired me to call my brother and set up a fishing trip.
These two have a unique chemistry. They're both quiet and soft-spoken and not talking much, yet they're still saying a lot. Really enjoyed how chill these two were, fishing, cooking and just coolin' it hard.
Man the Outdoor Television Hunting and Fishing shows have been put on notice! This is excellent entertainment and they are a dying breed it’s not about the harvest👌🏻
Miles nolte alluded to it during the live chat on last weeks das boat episode. Rogan confirmed it on Twitter a few hours ago. Hopefully they upload it immediately.
A more pure, genuine, genius "fishing show" simply does not exist... For a foremost hunting production, MeatEater has set the bar incredibly high in all things outdoors. Time to go bass fishing and keep em' for once!
This and all the other productions by this crew aren't just guys out flogging the water or flinging arrows or bullets. Steve and chosen cast always brings a thinking mans perspective to the experience that I appreciate. When out adventuring myself and being with folks that are on that same page. I find those experiences the most fulfilling. It fills that void created by the visual of that 30 lb propane tank full of bullet holes surrounded by empty beer cans we passed earlier. And the imagery that creates. Im grateful for the existence of this content.
I love everything Rinella and the boys are doing. Let me just say one thing about this episode and I will leave it at this- Bad Mutha Goose was one kick ass band and put on a hell of a live show. I saw them many time in the mid-80s, usually on the same bill as the best rock band to ever hit the stage, The True Believers. When thie episide started I was thinking Alvin looked familiar but when they showed the concert poster, holy crap! A flood of killer memories came up. Keep doing what you do, boys. This is a treasure.
Excellent series so far. I've always loved the way Steve narrates through his episodes. It goes to show you, you don't need a $60,000 bass boat or center console to get the job done. Most fishers (like me) fish on a beer budget and do some of the very same mods to their boats (the poling platform is on my list). Been a fan of Steve's since the Travel Channel days.
Same here, growing up in the San Fran. Bay Area there’s no shortages of big fancy boats that leave you a feeling a bit belittled. Butttt I bet we have more fun on our boats!
Man the way Steve Rinella narrates these shows is definitely a gift from God! I bet he could narrate someone taking a shit in the woods and people would tune in and say, "best episode ever!" As always great job! Keep up the amazing work!

I absolutely love your no holds bar approach to every aspect of hunting and fishing. You are truly like any other outdoorsman I have watched. Much respect to keeping people properly educated on why it’s important to hunt and fish.
@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing that technique with the fibers for catching the gar was genius I have never thought of that or seen that before. Learn something new awesome!
Great episode! These are the kind of guys that lower the blood pressure and embody good living. Could hang out with these guys (or in this episode) for days. Awesome!
In a world awash with so much noise and eighty thousand dollar bass boats, it is so nice to find content that is wholesome, intelligent, down to earth and entertaining. Thanks Steve!
Steve - this is an incredible idea. I love the series so far. Perfect mix of men being men, fishing action, and food prep and enjoyment. Inspiring. Keep em coming brother! Always great to see TX also. As a displaced Texan living in DC, relegated to catching snakeheads and largeies on the Potomac, seeing home through your lens is just terrific!
I started watching Steve on Netflix as being someone who enjoyed the outdoors. I became a true fan of Steve and he gained my full respect when I watched him politely, respectfully, and eloquently put a vegan in his place at a book signing I believe it was. I love the series and wish everyone involved the best 👍
How cool I was born and raised in Austin & fished the hillcountry area weekly my whole life but a few times a yr I go to Rockport for a few days to fish for reds & specks. How cool to see my two main fishing areas out of only 6 MeatEater das boat episodes nation wide. (I've also seen Jesse & Tim Kerr w/ B.M.G at liberty lunch inearly 90s several times) Makes me feel very grateful to have such beautiful hills & waters to enjoy. I hope the MeatEater crew and all the viewers enjoyed TX as well.
I have watched this video 7 times. This represents everything about hill country fishing and good company. Whoever picked these two to be together is amazing!!!
Steve Rinella you are a blessing to Hunting and Fishing , you’ve once again captured my attention and interest with Das Boat. My first hunt for white tail will be in late October with my cousin in northern Arizona. Because of the interest and respect for hunting and fishing you sparked in me, I purchased your episodes in VHX and hope you continue always telling your story. I always reference them and would like to say I successfully made SARDINIAN HARE STEW and it was great. Thanks for everything!
ethical, entertaining, and educational..................this is the right kind of stuff! great video.........My 7yr old son knows about you, Mr. Rinella, and we had a blast watching your Netflix content.
Most underrated host in the outdoor sports world hands down. If I could go hunting or fishing with anyone in the world it would b this guy! Keep up the good work man. I literally eat wild food shortly thereafter watching any of your videos or shows.
I grew up as a youngster watching tons of sunday morning fishing shows with my dad, usually against my will and may jave lead to my dislike of fishing when I was in my teens. But as I grow into my love of fishing in my older years, I have been catching up on the years of fishing shows I've missed. All that to say...this is the best and most fun fishing show/series I've ever seen!! Another slam dunk, keep it up MeatEater crew!!
I'm very serious, I've been watching meateater since I was a kid on the outdoor channel from seeing him cook javelina in its own stomach, to cooking deer heart, and showing me how to eat bear fat ever since i fell in love with Steve and what he does. Then as I got older and through time I lost touch with him as people do then I see him on joe rogan and heard all the stuff he's been up to and more about his life which made me fall back in love, and now with these new series I fell like I keep finding my way back to steve and this great content which makes me very happy to see how far he's come and how he's never stopped his pursuit of what he wants to accomplish in life!
Best outdoors/sportsman media group in the business. MeatEater and its folks are absolute gold and Das Boat has already become my favorite fishing show of all time.
One of the interesting things about hunters and fisherman, is the community and relationships that exist across cultural and socioeconomic lines. It is one of the things that I love most.
As some one who just re-discovered his love of fishing and recently bought a boat and motor, this is a great journey to watch and gain inspiration from. Thank you Papa for the family payment plan. I will take great care of what was your boat and now is the families boat.
I'm all in on this Steve. This episode made "get it". It's the experience. The shared moments. You have single handedly reaffirmed why I love the outdoors. I had lost that for a bit. Gone astray. I'm back baby. Thank you sir. One last thing, the feature length content is much appreciated.
Man..... this series is great. I hope they do 100 more episodes. Id be happu to do one for them in a small little known and little traveled place on the gulf in Fl.
This reminded me of growing up fly fishing Dry Creek in northern California. It flows right though Roseville, but you could catch large and small mouth bass, and blue fill all day. It's where I learned to fish and cast a fly. This episode brought back those memories.
You are right about urban rivers. Mr. Rinella is a Michigan native, as am I. I spent a couple years in Mt. Pleasant, home to CMU. I also worked at the wastewater treatment plant, in the lab, for a summer. I caught quite a few smallmouth, pike, and even a 24" walleye within 20 yards of the effluent pipe. I ate many of them, and am still alive to tell about it. The best thing is that I only saw one other angler in all the times I fished there.
I don't know em personally but JT and Alvin are such awesome people Great to have them on these episodes! MEat Eater is killin the game! So cool!! Thanks for putting out awesome quality CREATIVE videos as opposed to 15 min commercials for a bunch of sponsors and trying to sell product.
What a neat concept! Hollywood could never pull off something like this. Not elite, not upper class; just honest wholesome fun with a cheap idea. I love projects; might have to do this myself!
Huge fan of Steve and the whole crew. I think the meat-eater team provides education in an exciting way where it is no longer commonly available. Dad boat is a joy to watch. I hope it is a sign of more great things to come.
I absolutely love these this series of videos. They are made only the way a meat eater video can be made. Lots of insightful conversations and great fishing. Can't wait for the next one!
Was hesitant at first knowing that Steve himself would not be in this episode. But it definitely did not take away from the show. Loved this episode and am very much looking forward to see Callahan fishing in the next one.
I've fished the Sanibel/Captiva island area several dozen times over about fifteen years. I can tell you this I have seen it at it's prime and after the red tide and just like this episode shows, this fishery is coming back. Love this series and most anything that Steve has his hands in. Keep up the great work, I live vicariously through these series when I can't get outdoors myself.
this is the most fun thing I have seen in a long time. Reminds me of being a poor kid in south Florida looking for any possible way I could go fishing love love love this. So awesome
I haven’t been much of a fisherman in my life, typically going in the local river and canal for catch and release, but this is definitely expanding my desire to learn more and diversify my interests just as watching the MeatEater show did for hunting. With only the 2 episodes so I far I am absolutely LOVING Das Boat!
I was also reminded of Anthony Bourdain by this show. I watched every episode and would watch them all over again if they were played. Good job Steve. I'll keep watching as a hunter and fisherman myself, It's cool to hear different perspectives on fishing, and life in general.
I was saddened that MeatEater didn't put more seasons on Netflix. I appreciated Steve adding more "tools to the kitbag" for my outdoor experience. Now an angling show - thank you very much! I enjoyed your Netflix show, I listen to your podcast, now I'm "hooked" (pun intended) on this show - thanks again!
Jesse Griffith’s voice is a smooth as silk. That man needs to narrate something. Secondly Das Boat is one of my favorite things on the internet today. I hope to one day run into the Meateater crew, or maybe they will do a live show here in Georgia.
Steve and MeatEater crew- you guys are KILLIN IT! I always look forward to your shows. I just feel different and better watching them. Keep up the good work.
Steve I’m loving this das boat episodes. I really want to see more. I’m not the only one that wants to take my 1976 16 foot flat bottom john boat to crazy place. I love this season.
Man! Another great show from Steven Rinella. I didn't realize until watching this how badly I needed a fishing show from MeatEater. Thanks Steve and all the folks at MeatEater.
I love how Meat Eater isn't just about the big hunt, the grand adventure. It's about sustaining and your own "back yard" just as much... hinting, fishing, crawdadin' ....its all Meat Eater
Man, I love everything you fellas are up to. So many good podcasts, articles and now a CZcams series, not to mention the Meat eater show. I have learned so much from your organization. I'm an avid outdoorsman and learning from you guys is fun. Great work. Keep it up.
I absolutely love the story line to this series! One day to do work then go fishing is the bees knees and the best thing is it’s enjoyable to watch and listen. Steve Rinella hit a home run with this I can’t wait for the next one it’s my new favorite video series to follow on you tube. Keep it up and looking forward to the next. AWESOME
Love this episode, and love both of these guys. My old man used to fish with Alvin once in awhile, and loved every minute of it. I am a regular at Dai Due, and have hunted hogs with Jesse in S. Texas. Jesse is an Austin treasure, and we all need more exposure to his cooking, his philosophy, and his comedy. Yup, he is a funny sumbitch when he gets on a roll:). Congrats!! Great episode.
I live in South \ Central Texas and in both episode 1 and 2 have them fishing in places that I've been around my whole life. I have to admit that I've often written off the Colorado but after this episode - I think I'm gonna have give it a second look. Alvin and Jesse made a great pair on the river. Can't wait to see the next one!
Old fishin boats have history. Every scratch has a story. If you’re a river rat you have a lot of stories . Glad to see this story about fishing in an old boat.
Steve, this concept of old shallow draft aluminum boat off the internet, down to Rockport, Texas area where I grew up with the legendary musician, shallow water fly fisherman...then up to the Austin area with 2 more nom de plumes. A great idea, each person bringing it up to better condition. I would love to be in line for a giveaway when DAS BOAT series is over. Mahalo and Aloha from the Big Isle "🤙"
Really love your shows. Your show bring a different flavor compared to other outdoor channels. It’s unique, I can actually sit down and enjoy watching your shows like as if I was hanging out with good buddies drinking a cold one and telling stories. Keep it up, can’t wait to see more full episodes like this. Tight lines and fish on!
Man I have been loving me some bass fishin lately and I just might have to fillet one of those puppies up. This show is pure genius, perfectly captures what fishing is about. Keep doing what you do fellas, I love the heck out of it.

@@hughten Legit LOL. Well done.
In just two short episodes this has become one my favorite things MeatEater has produced. I can’t wait to see more of this!!
Yea, something special about this series. Its much more enjoyable to me.
Couldn't agree more.!
@@Drundel gotta love steves passion for being outdoors, i gobbled up meat eater and now this series. very enjoyable
Easily their best show. Back 40 is cool too. But the fishing is just so well done
It’s the boat lol. That thing is a classic. Tried and true great boat design.
This is good enough for Netflix, but god damn I'm happy to have it on youtube.
this series prolly will be on netflix at some point i bet
I have to admit, I didn't expect this episode to be as fun and entertaining as it was. Great series!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing watched this episode on my lunch break. Sorry I'm a year late seeing it. Thanks for a relaxing 25 mins in an otherwise stressful day. Its inspired me to call my brother and set up a fishing trip.
These two guys are fun, and calming at the same time. This was the best part of my day today. Thank you.
I didn‘t expect to see a non-white person. MestEater really needs more diversity!
I love this series, but PLEASE put more seasons on Netflix I'm positive I've watched every episode atleast 3 times
Same here, it's a little too pricy for me to justify spending to watch previous season from his website.
We are working on it!
Support the show and purchase the other seasons available.
Lol.. I thought i was the only one who watched thrice.. 😂😂
Please! Go do more on netflix !!!
These two have a unique chemistry.
They're both quiet and soft-spoken and not talking much, yet they're still saying a lot.
Really enjoyed how chill these two were, fishing, cooking and just coolin' it hard.
Thanks for the kind words. We really had a good time out there.
Man the Outdoor Television Hunting and Fishing shows have been put on notice! This is excellent entertainment and they are a dying breed it’s not about the harvest👌🏻
Yes sir! This has set a new benchmark for outdoor shows.
Word is rinella is doing rogans podcast today. Cant wait
that going to be awesome
I hope this is true
Im hoping this is true

This has all the quality of the Netflix show but free. Thank you for this Meateater crew!

I was also reminded of Anthony Bourdain by this show. I watched every episode and would watch them all over again if they were played. Good job Steve. I'll keep watching as a hunter and fisherman myself, It's cool to hear different perspectives on fishing, and life in general.
I was saddened that MeatEater didn't put more seasons on Netflix. I appreciated Steve adding more "tools to the kitbag" for my outdoor experience. Now an angling show - thank you very much! I enjoyed your Netflix show, I listen to your podcast, now I'm "hooked" (pun intended) on this show - thanks again!
This is the most wholesome fishing series I think ive ever watched and I love it!!!
I absolutely loved this. The chemistry between those two dudes. The background music. The production quality. Thank you🙏
I've learned so much from Alvins videos on fly fishing central texas, guys the man
Man this is great content man. More kids and family’s should watch this. It’s truly wholesome.
Dad Boot, I can't believe this isn't subtitled like the original. Good stuff and thanks for the fishing ommage.
Jesse Griffith’s voice is a smooth as silk. That man needs to narrate something. Secondly Das Boat is one of my favorite things on the internet today. I hope to one day run into the Meateater crew, or maybe they will do a live show here in Georgia.
Steve, everything you touch becomes magical! You're a true blessing to our outdoor tribe! Keep up the great work!!!
Love this, two dudes on the river just fishing and getting to know each other. Feels genuine.
We had a really good time out there.
I'm loving the Das Boat series. You should float a creek and shoot a limit of squirrels from it while fishing for smallmouth. Great work guys.
Steve and MeatEater crew- you guys are KILLIN IT! I always look forward to your shows. I just feel different and better watching them. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely love the Das Boat series. You don’t need the most expensive set up to get out and fish.
Steve I’m loving this das boat episodes. I really want to see more. I’m not the only one that wants to take my 1976 16 foot flat bottom john boat to crazy place. I love this season.
Man! Another great show from Steven Rinella. I didn't realize until watching this how badly I needed a fishing show from MeatEater. Thanks Steve and all the folks at MeatEater.
I love how Meat Eater isn't just about the big hunt, the grand adventure. It's about sustaining and your own "back yard" just as much... hinting, fishing, crawdadin' ....its all Meat Eater
Man, I love everything you fellas are up to. So many good podcasts, articles and now a CZcams series, not to mention the Meat eater show. I have learned so much from your organization. I'm an avid outdoorsman and learning from you guys is fun. Great work. Keep it up.
I absolutely love the story line to this series! One day to do work then go fishing is the bees knees and the best thing is it’s enjoyable to watch and listen. Steve Rinella hit a home run with this I can’t wait for the next one it’s my new favorite video series to follow on you tube. Keep it up and looking forward to the next. AWESOME
Where the river flows, the heart goes.
Well said!
I hope you take Das Boat flounder gigging with Jesse Griffiths
Hank Houghton I was hoping to see that also.
Love this episode, and love both of these guys. My old man used to fish with Alvin once in awhile, and loved every minute of it. I am a regular at Dai Due, and have hunted hogs with Jesse in S. Texas. Jesse is an Austin treasure, and we all need more exposure to his cooking, his philosophy, and his comedy. Yup, he is a funny sumbitch when he gets on a roll:). Congrats!! Great episode.
I live in South \ Central Texas and in both episode 1 and 2 have them fishing in places that I've been around my whole life. I have to admit that I've often written off the Colorado but after this episode - I think I'm gonna have give it a second look. Alvin and Jesse made a great pair on the river. Can't wait to see the next one!
Thanks for watching Brian. The LoCo has a lot of potential.
In my opinion, this is one of the best videos the Meateater has produced. Thanks
I'm fairly new to MeatEater, but I am HOOKED on this new Das Boat series. Can't wait for Episode 3!
Awesome to hear! Welcome, man.
I’m loving this show so far. Feels so grass roots and nostalgic. Nice work.
Old fishin boats have history. Every scratch has a story. If you’re a river rat you have a lot of stories . Glad to see this story about fishing in an old boat.
Awesome. Not only do you have the best hunting show now you have the best fishing show
I have to say, I am really enjoying this series so far!
Loving this series. As much as I love the standard Meet Eater crew this is a breath of fresh air for new personalities and perspectives!
Great series idea and I love that you put it out on CZcams for all to see. And so far the cast of characters is outstanding.
Steve, this concept of old shallow draft aluminum boat off the internet, down to Rockport, Texas area where I grew up with the legendary musician, shallow water fly fisherman...then up to the Austin area with 2 more nom de plumes. A great idea, each person bringing it up to better condition. I would love to be in line for a giveaway when DAS BOAT series is over. Mahalo and Aloha from the Big Isle "🤙"
Really love your shows. Your show bring a different flavor compared to other outdoor channels. It’s unique, I can actually sit down and enjoy watching your shows like as if I was hanging out with good buddies drinking a cold one and telling stories. Keep it up, can’t wait to see more full episodes like this.
Tight lines and fish on!
I love everything you guys put out! The meat eater team has done it again with Das Boat, it always leaves me craving more.
Really enjoying this series , I just wish you would have shared the prep of that gar. Keep up the good work Steve👍👍👍
Love the series and what das boat is bringing to us all. Simplicity and good food and conversations. Keep them coming.
Love hearing that--glad you are enjoying it.
This series makes me so happy
These two guys are great characters. Cool to see them on the channel.
It was great to be on, thanks for watching.
This series is awesome! So much nostalgia from growing up even though I've never even fished in Texas. Looking forward to seeing the rest!
why did I start crying when Alvin ate that first bit of fish burger??? I love Alvin and Jesse together. It was so darn sweet!
😂
Man I have been loving me some bass fishin lately and I just might have to fillet one of those puppies up. This show is pure genius, perfectly captures what fishing is about. Keep doing what you do fellas, I love the heck out of it.
