Shoutout to that one crawfish at 16:44 for making the escape.
he was a dank meme
As soon as I saw that, I paused the video to check the comments.
The Fugitive
Grey Elerson, so did i
Same here lmao
I’ve become a huge fan of this guy after seeing a few of his videos. He not only does the outdoor fun and like hunting and fishing the land he’s on, but he responsibly manages the natural resources. He leaves predatory animals like harmless snakes and birds to help manage the rodents and insects while removing and harvesting only apex animals in their populations like the bigger crawfish wild pigs and gar to let the smaller ones reproduce and grow while spreading them to knew areas on his property that the wouldn’t have been in as they become ready. This guy really seems to know how to keep his land healthy and thriving.
Agreed.....it only every human being on the planet followed Bob's example....
Yeah but it's too bad that these animals eat all the smaller plants and animals that have already been poisoned with lead, mercury, PCB, and agricultural "forever chemicals" polluting those run-off ditches out there. The bugs ingest the poison then the minnows eat the bugs then the minnows get eaten by the crawfish and by the time YOU eat the crawfish there's a thousand time more poison in them. Hell, where I live near The Great Lakes the DNR advises pregnant women to not eat ANY fish pulled from the lake. They also say not to eat fish more than once or twice a month. It is absolutely sickening to think that we've let corporations kill us like that just so they can buy another Jaguar.
I agree with you about everything other than wild pigs, those are a damaging invasive species, so much so that you can freely kill any that are on your property by law. They honestly cause a lot of problems and are not native to the area.
That crawfish at 16:47 made it to freedom lol.
yeah when I saw it I was like oh we got a runner! lol
We all were rooting for his freedom - actually!
Sir, I gotta admit. I'm really jealous of your property. You've got amazing biodiversity. It's a testament to what working with nature and loving stewardship can do. You're a living example of the richness that is returned when respect is given to the land. Bless you and yours.
Miss those days when my friends and I would cook out. Fish fries, crawdad boils and beer.
@Tony Gonzalez The comment is 2 years old lol
Nice video. I can remember sitting on the creek bank at night, with a lantern, stick, string, fish hook and a worm. Dip it in the water for a few seconds and pulling out monster crawfish that had grabbed onto the hook. Good memories.
One of the biggest crawfish I ever saw I found about 80 yards away from the creek. It dug a hole on the flood plane down to the water to breed in. I left that one alone.
Great to see the same situation enjoyed in the USA as we do here in Australia.This young man harvests ethically and enjoys his lifestyle, even with his faithful red heeler as is common here.Well done,(love that creek).
I like this dude, he's just like, I saw a turtle so I grabbed it.
Good video.
Meanwhile feminists be like we don't need man fish bycicle
@@Hoffmanpack what does that mean
@@earth355 this guy is doing whatever real men do. Feminists want females to abandon men like this. 👍
@@Hoffmanpack I see
Went fishing once in Colorado Springs, 11 Miile and Spinney reservoirs. Didn't catch jack. Found a dead fish and fished for crawdads pulling them up 5 at A time, had A blast doing it with the kids.
I stumbled on your channel yesterday when looking up some wild onions my children found while exploring on our property. They were mesmerized by this video. I grew up in South Texas (near Corpus) and live in North Texas now. Your videos will make for some fun learning experiences for our family. Thank you!
+Stephanie Carruth I'm glad to hear it. Getting the generations to stop long enough to see the beauty and amazing things nature has to offer is high on my list.
I enjoy watchin the smart dog, who has already had experience w/those claws, and he stays away.
nice to see another fellow Texan enjoying the great outdoors.
In every way I can manage. Thanks for watching.
+Bob Hansler you're welcome, I learned something new watching these videos. building an oven out of rocks was pretty cool.
Some productive water right there.
+The Wooded Beardsman Creek goes completely dry for a few weeks every other year. Predator fish population becomes null, crawfish crawl back out into sterile pools where they only have to compete against themselves and are virtually without aquatic predation. It makes for an interesting cycle and one heck of a crawfish harvest at times.
@@BobHansler Could you please recommend a high quality crawfish trap? Not into DIY.... Need a finished trap. Thanks.
@@flippindocks8183 no
Try a frabil crawdad trap. They work great, and are readily available online.😉
16:42 one got away from you in the corner lol u can see his tail go over the backside of the tray! thats funny
The camera man saw it too he was like Run little guy, Run!
Just4FunTv I saw that too! Lol
Lmfao! The one that got away! Nice catch man!
Lol saw it too
Be free
Thanks for taking the time to put these up. I grew up in Erie PA but now live in Los Angeles, I miss the outdoors. You can find good out doors stuff in CA but its always a drive and its hard to find like minded people. Gonna
+Justin Greed I understand. I am blessed to have this piece of heaven and try to collect like minded individuals far and wide to come visit and enjoy it as I do. Think the world would be a better place if everyone had such a resource to enjoy and learn from.
The dog is the director/producer/writer. Bob is just the guy in front of the camera.
LOL...there is probably some truth to that. Huck would like to think he is in charge most days.
I feel bad for the kids who never grew up next to a creek
Always wanted to live near a creek lol
Kids if you don’t live next to a creek go camping
@@ErickwdWright I really want to😂
I grew up in the creek 👍🏻 not the Concrete Jungle. 👍🏻
I've grown up doing this. I've caught them as young as around 6 years old I think. Catching all of them by hand in a shallow creek with a lot of rock in it is fun too.
Showed my boy scouts crawfish on a campout last summer. Most didn't even know we had them in GA. Used the bottle traps like you've shown in another video. It was a hoot watching them try to pick them up.
lol love how the turtle is just chilling there
Until you turn away,, then they are gone in a blink.
Or they steal what you catch haha
I hear he's still chillin', to this day, in the same spot !
Hahahaaj
One of them managed to escape! What a champ! 16:44 Maybe you didn't have the best day ever? :P
+MLG Raccoon Ahh, ninja crawfish.
+Bob Hansler Go back and catch him haha
+Xavier Israel
Loose the hounds!!!
+MLG Raccoon That was the Cartman Craw....Screw you guys..I'm goin home!
But I had the authority glasses.
Thanks for the Bob, I have learned so much for the channel. I hope you are feeling better, speedy recovery mate.
That’s the most productive creek I’ve ever seen!!!
Some years it is mind blowing.
Great day of trapping Bob. That made me hungry. Thank you, can't wait to see the cook up in June.
I've been Cray fishing years. So nice you have shared your knowledge ! Thank you
That was incredible! Dog food who knew? Dont know if the ones in my area get big enough to eat but they are fun to catch. I should check the regulations get a trap and see whats down there. Could be fun. I have always flipped rocks and caught them by hand or tied a string to a chicken thigh and tossed it in. Gently pulled them up and tried to grab them before they fell off. Great video Bob
Just like baiting a good Fishing Hole, but we use Can Dog Food & put holes in it .
Dope video love this guys repertoire it’s admirable. Love the doggo too he/she has has this half stoned, unassuming nature, but totally there, respect
Respect his life outdoors
Good video thanks.
Here in La. we catch then in nets with chicken necks or livers.
Bring home, rinse in clean water and boil with crab boil seasoning, potatoes, sausage and anything you can think of.
Bring to a boil turn off the fire and let sit for 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
Like a lil cast net?
Your fantastic!!!! I love watching your videos. As a country girl...your living my dream life!
Very clever trap! We call them flodkräftor in Sweden
This video is highly educational, fun and rewarding. I love this video
Yes it is . Brings back so many good times I had in the creeks , and was unmolested growing up Exploring by myself 👍🏻
Amazing looks like a lot of fun. I use to catch them when I was a teenager it looks like ur making me want to start back up again 🦐👊
Yes me too Memories... I lived in the creek most of the time . Grew up Well - enjoying Mother Nature 👍🏻👹
@16:42 "FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM" I imagine that is what that crawfish was thinking as it stealthily made its way over that edge.
great vid, man.. when my old lady and i saw that one make his getaway we busted a gut laughing.
I don’t even eat crawfish but seeing all of them in that basket in the end made my mouth water
As a kid, I used to go into these murky waters with some kind of net and catch crawfish. As an adult, I realize how scary that could be, not knowing what is in the bottom of these creeks and even the occasional leech activity.
Hate leeches . I've only seen them in ponds .
If I had a place that productive..I'd b eating crawfish all the time! Keep up the great videos!
+Charles Loveday It is pretty awesome some years. I will be modifying the creek at some point to hold back a more substantial volume of water here in the next few years though... Every odd year the creek will dry up mid summer and everything is eaten. Sad to watch the birds come in and the life to die. Have to enjoy them when we can!
+Bob Hansler, all right! Gonna love that video.
Bob is like the most bravest guy in the wilderness i would love to meet him sometime but i live far away from Texas hes not scared to do almost anything
Very pleasant to watch. I nominate you to inspire and to be the encouraging mentor in your community. Possibly save our children from the opioide epidemic and gang violence. May GOD bless you all
i would take a strip of raw bacon and catch crawdads for hours when i was a kid, just for the fun of it. never thought about trapping them tho, would be great to do this a hour before heading out to go fishing. free/cheap bait is my kind of bait
Yes use them for Bait ... catch the Big ones suspended in the deep Waters 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👹
i cant believe I only found your channel a few months ago. Great content! Get well soon Bob.
Suddenly am craving crawdads
Very cool, reminds me of my younger years catching crawfish and putting them on limb lines n the river fishing for cats....
Glow Sticks help a lot up here in Pacific north west. Should try.
I miss doing this growing up in Houston.. I could go right to my back yard and catch um. Catch the rare blue ones as a bonus. New subie 🤘🏾
Can you just do this in the bayou or do you need some sort of license?
Hey Bob, it was a good watch, I wish you'd show how you cook them and eat them, I've never had crawfish before, used to catch them as a young kid just for fun and then put them back, didn't even know eating them was a thing until later in life since I grew up in the suburbs
Keep sorting through my channel vids. I have at least one on cooking crawfish. Ill have a boil at some point as well. Good times.
ᅝᅝ you can you just got to know where to look an what bate to use.
ᅝᅝ ihatyrvito
Boil them with seasoning potatoes and corn I like the old bay seasoning I think that's the name they're amazingly good
Every time I have tried crawdads at a restaurant they were overcooked and rubbery. Please share a cooking video soon. I live next to a large creek, they are all over my pastures and pond. My cows are afraid of them, lol!
Haaaaaa
You should put a camera in the traps so we can see what's going on under the water
Great idea 💡👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
love your vids man, you're a hero believe it or not. This knowledge is priceless and everyone needs to be aware of it.
Yes I agree- great to do with the kids 👍🏻
Awesome Video.. 16:44, lol, str8 Ninja..... Headed to buy me a trap extender and kit now...
Brought back pleasant memories of catching them with bacon and string.
Gary Leach same.We did something similar when I was little but with spoiled hotdogs and such.
I like how you are subtle, so maybe the denser folks will understand that a healthy ecosystem is the key to resilience. That's not political. That's human. Are you with the planet you live on, or are you against it?
I love, for example, how you value not only what you are harvesting, but what you are putting back for yourself and the rest of creation.
watched this video this morning and have put a trap out and already caught 20 decent crawfish
+Grayson Esch Nice! Red Swamp Crawfish?
Great catch! I think a couple of lobsters got in your creek. ;)
If y'all are like us (Alabama), 2016 was a bad year for drought. Looks better for this year.
What breed is your dog? She looks like a Healer, but lighter color. Looks like a real good one!
I'm pretty sure it a he
I think I want to move to your area. Tons of different forageables. Crayfish yummm!
what state? i wish we had this many in maryland but we have the country's most blue crabs but i always loved crawfish too
Dog: is it my food you just throwed into the stream?
16:48 one guy escaped xD
Yeah and he is hell fucking bent on revenge!
Holy smokes you got a great creek. Happy eating..Cheers Jeff
That trap was loaded!
I love the one who did the great escape.
You sound just like matthew mcconaughey haha
After pulling empty traps upon occasion I was pulling in an overly heavy trap one day and as it got within sight I saw a turtle, neck fully extended, eating the trapped crawdads. I highly recommend the middle extensions. Your harvest will be larger, for sure.
, you going to tell us where you catching all them crawfish
16:40 that crawfish waz like ''i'm outta here!''
This looks great! How often can you harvest like this and still maintain a strong crawfish population? I've done most of my crawfish trapping along rocky shores of huge reservoirs, so I never worry about depletion. That said, it normally takes half a dozen traps to catch as many crawfish as you did in this video (trap numbers here are limited per valid fishing license, so several of my friends and I make an event out of it and pool our catches for the boil). Now I'm jealous of your waterway and have added ownership of something like this to my wish-list!
Goes dry every year or so, did last month. Everything resets. Will be full once again in spring with crayfish.
You have 3 thumbs up from the Climate change every 4 month group. And it appears you live in CA, MI or NY. I would suggest . Voting for individuals that dont try to control your ENTIRE way of living , and you will instantly see a change in how many crawfish traps of all things your State "Game and Fish " Commie loving diverse hires LET you use to catch food of all things. Maybe they will let you even buy seeds , who knows
Bob, I like the traps you are using.
ive always caught them by hand. this looks better, but my dog still a pup(blue nosed pit terrier), i buy her expesive food(40 bucks for 15 lbs)(has the dha and good stuff). should have made another catch and cook.
Gonna get on down to my spring. Time few some dads and some bait few my trott lines.
Do you have a holding tank you put the small ones in to grow?
I put them back in the creek to grow.
Your dog looks amazed :)
More like jealous, he wants to know.why his food is being fed to fish and he doesn't get any. Unless he knows what crawdad fishing means for dinner.
I'm jealous I absolutely love crawdads. I live in Iowa and we used to have a really good crawdad population but I think the agricultural runoff has kind of done them in.
The last time I camped through Iowa in a month I didn't see one bee, but two Monsanto plants. A damned shame. I hope the residents remove those responsible and go back to sustainable no till organic farming like their ancestors, but all them toys I see all over those big industrial farms cost a loooot of $$$.
Nice haul.
up in california we call them crawdads.
Yeah. Big ol crawdads too
Yup
The thumbnail looks like rapping crayfish
😂😂😂
are you going to do a vid on processing and cooking
+Jordan Hyland Most definitely. I was waiting to do it around June so that I could pick the corn out of my field and dig some potatoes out of my mounds to give an all-around experience.
Some sort of Low Country boil, I'm guessing?
I am happy that one got away 16:44 .he didn't even notice!
id eat that with curry and rice..dipping in chili soy sauce...
You just made me hungry :) Sounds nice.
some of the big crawdads right there! nice spot
How much is your trap? It's an excellent one...
Did y’all see the big one that snuck away around 17:28 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂. He did that. Grandpa said not today 😆
16:44 gangsta crawfish.
+RemixProf that craw fish is savage. it creeped out the bucket.
+RemixProf haha im glad im not the only one that noticed. it was all like : "alright play it cool play it cool.. byee"
Yeap, he is a warrior. His name is CrewFish!
That was a great catch for a day. I got your youtube info from Greg the manufacturer of the Gee traps. Awesome videos.
Great Video!
Thanks for your effort for making this very interesting video Ace, 🇬🇧
VERY JEALOUS actually but very good on ya. Incredible!
Very good crayfish finding.😊
I have caught craw dad's as big as 11.5 inches from claw tips to tail....
Ours in the Siskiyous were like cocktail shrimp and you had to catch nearly a hundred to have a bite but that was the sweetest tail meat you ever did taste, so clean. I flinch a bit at these big ol' gulf mudbugs.
The dog is like what the heck is he doing with my food!?
I'm just looking at all those crawfish like I'm going to eat you all.
Aww I love your dog so adorable
my creek is like 12 foot deep with no shallow areas. is it possible to throw my net down to the bottom and still catch them? thanks to anyone who replies
Josh Green Adventures each place is different ,you'll have to try and see,you just might get something, that's the fun part (lol) and put the trap in the shaded areas
John Essary thanks a lot appreciate it
That is not a creek that is a fu**en river
kid random lol it's called tanners creek and it flows out to the ohio river
Josh Green Adventures 1ft to around 20 feet of water
That live well is clean not gunna lie
just a creek out in the middle of texas???
South Texas, yes.
Bob Hansler holy crap, you messaged back lol. that's really cool. I might try doing this in the swamps we have around here. I'm in southeast texas next to louisianna. I want to say there's crawfish in there, didn't know if was too salty though.
Tony Clifton I live in south east Texas and we catch them all the time in the neches river all the time while we catch red fish
Tony Clifton also check with the law if it catches minnows it is considered a minnow trap and needs to be smaller then the one he uses
Slingin Steele Game Calls neches river? you must be a stones throw away, I live close to port neches park
Great video man, one of the best how to vids I’ve seen in a long time.
Crawfish jail break
great video Bob there must be hundreds of crawfish in that little creek no crawfish where I live too bad terry
@16:40 HE GONE HE GONE HE GONE!!!
i just wanted to say thank you for your videos i have been catching some here in kansas and that one the escaped on you
freedom 16:47!
NICE! I am very envious right now. They're not very active up in Western Nebraska yet & it's April.
