Fishing for Poor Man's Lobster
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2016
- A few years ago friend of mine here on UA-cam, Bill Goudy, showed how to turn bluegill, into lobster! He was like an alchemist, turning lead into gold! It sure looked good. I wonder if I could do it too. But first, I need to catch some fish! See the fishing equipment used, information about the lake, the recipes and more below.

Pan Fried Asparagus
Ingredients
¼ cup butter (one-half stick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ Lb. fresh asparagus spear, trimmed (1 pound before trimmed)
2 or 3 TBS of fresh grated Romano cheese
Directions
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Stir in the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Cook garlic in butter for a minute, but do not brown.

Add Romano cheese before serving while asparagus is still hot.

Poor Man’s Lobster
Ingredients:
1 pound of fish fillets, like bluegill, bass, yellow perch, cut into 1to 2 inch pieces
1 bag of McCormack’s Shrimp & Crab Boil
1 TBS of Old Bay Seasoning
½ stick of butter, melted
Cocktail sauce (optional)
Instructions:
In a large sauce pan place one quart of water.
Add one bag of McCormack’s Shrimp & Crab Boil
Add one tablespoon of Old Bay and one lemon, quartered
Bring to a boil, then add the pound of fish.
Cover and cook on medium-high for 3 minutes. (Don’t cook beyond 4 minutes!)
Remove the seasoning bag and the lemon wedges quickly.
Remove the fish with a strainer or spider.
Serve hot with melted butter, or chill and serve with cocktail sauce.
THE BOAT: a Bass Hunter ordered from Bass Pro Shops about 12 years ago. They no longer sell it. Also, this model is no longer available, but newer models like it are still sold. Check here: www.sportsmansguide.com/produc...
THE SPINNING REEL: Pflueger Trion GX-5. This model is no longer made.
The spinning rod is a tiny Daiwa SMC401ULFS Spinmatic-C SpinRod (4- Feet, Ultra Light, 1 Piece, 1-4 pound line test recommended). It can be found on Amazon, Fish USA, and other places.
THE LINE: SpiderWire, Ultracast, Invisi-Braid in 10 pound test, 2 pound monofilament equivalent.
THE LAKE: is called Lake Ketchabigwon (named by native Americans). It is almost 6 acres and is located in NE Ohio. It sits on 37 acres of property. The lake is private.
FISH IN THE LAKE: largemouth bass, bluegill, white crappie, black crappie, yellow perch, channel catfish, and grass carp.
WHY KEEP SMALL BASS: Biologists conducted an electroshock survey of the lake. They found too many small, stunted bass. Their advice was to remove all bass under 12 inches, and to release the bigger ones. This rule is usually the opposite in large public lakes.
WHY I DON’T FISH FOR CATFISH: I’m not knowledgable about how to fish for them. Rigging for them is confusing to me. Also, I don’t enjoy sitting and waiting for a bite. It seems boring and is a challenge to video.
LARGEST FISH CAUGHT: The biggest was a grass carp I hooked and managed to beach. It weighed over 30 pounds. Next was a channel cat (accidentally caught while bass fishing) of 10 pounds. The largest crappie was 14¾ inches and weighed 2 LBS and 1 oz. I did not measure the largest bluegill, but it was at least 10 inches. Finally, my largest bass was 6¾ pounds caught here at Lake Ketchabigwon.
VIDEOGRAPHY: The principal camera is an iPhone 6s Plus on a tripod. An iPhone 5s is used as a close-up, counter-top camera when cooking. It is mounted on a small tripod. I use a Rhode microphone indoors to help lessen the echo. The video is edited on a 2013 MacBook Pro using Final Cut Pro X.

Man oh man.... That looked so good, John.... Thank you for the awesome shout out... You have no idea how much I appreciate your support!!! Thank you !!!
Hi Bill! I knew you'd get a kick out this! I only hope that I did your great poor man's lobster dish justice. Your meal was entirely low carb, and I'll bet that when you made your video 3 years ago, you didn't realize it! LOL! Thank you so much for the inspiration my friend!!

Hi Booger! I learned a lot about fake lobster from Bill! I learned that the tastiness of the fish increased in direct proportion to the amount of butter that adheres to it! 😋 Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my dear friend!
After a long day, this video was what I needed. Thank you
Hi Christian! You're very kind! Thanks a million for watching my videos! Thank you most of all for the good words my friend!

Hi Leo!! Save up some pennies and get an inexpensive fishing rod and reel kit at Walmart! They catch fish! You can do it buddy!!! Then just get to a pond and do what I do! I am very honored that you are learning from me! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
Thank you very much Bill Goudy!! Those looked great and the Asparagus also....Your the best my friend...! :)
Hi Tom! Bill Goudy says my low-carb diet inspired him, but his fishing and cooking videos inspired me! Just like your videos have taught me so much about cooking! I discovered this about fake lobster: the tastiness of the fish increased in proportion to the amount of butter that adhered to it! LOL! Thanks a million for your kindness my friend!
I love your videos I watch them all day keep up the good work
Hi Christian! You are really very kind! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
im headed out fishing tomorrow maybe ill give this a shot love ur videos watch them almost every night after work lol
Hi Patrick! I watch my videos too, late at night when I have insomnia! They put me right out! LOL! This recipe was very good; maybe it's not exactly like real lobster, but you can't beat it for an easy, quick, satisfying meal! Thanks so much for watching my videos! Thank you especially for your very kind words my friend!
Another amazing video! Great work as always!
Hi Kobe! You sure are very kind! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
Juanelo1946 Any time my friend! Keep up the amazing work!
Wow! That "lobster" looked delicious! LOL! As did the cheesy garlic asparagus! I don't think Ms Cheeks would have ever had a clue! LOL! You could've got me with it! thanks for the great video, and tight lines !
Hi fishingislife! I don't know if I could have fooled Ms. Cheeks, she is a famous food critic after all! LOL! Maybe it's better if I save my money for a real lobster dinner? It sure tasted good to me though! It seems that the more butter on each piece, it the better it tasted! LOL! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
great video as always!!
Hi ILCS! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your good words my friend!
I love how you shoot your video and love wife, and still tries to be innovative. All that down to earth kind of feelings you give.
I sure would like to try that blue gill fish one day!
Hi Soulful Bowl! Making these videos is a labor of love. They aren't easy, but they are very rewarding. That is especially so when I read very nice comments like yours! I hope you get to try some bluegill someday! Thanks so much for your kindness my friend!
hello again my friend how have you been another great video and tasty looking meal. did anyone else see that big blow up in the background at 4:27
Hi Wade! Yes, that was a fish jumping! That happens often on the lake! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
Wow great weather for fishing. The seasonings for that blue gill sounds great and although I dislike asparagus I might give this recipe a try!
Hi Ex! This was a good day for fishing, that's for sure! I found out that the deliciousness of this fake lobster (fish) increased in direct proportion to the amount of butter that adhered to it! LOL! Thanks so much for watching my videos my friend, and thank you especially for the kind comment!
You absolutely nailed another one my friend I have two things to say.
1)i've obviously live a jaded life because until I met you I thought crappie was the best tasting fish out there.
2) I will be writing your name in on the ballot when I vote for President this year. I think we need somebody with your skill set! 😜
Keep up the great work I just love watching your videos and truly appreciate you watching mine, I will do the salmon cook within the next three videos.
Hi Fuzzy! Thanks immensely for your vote! Should I be elected, I would decline that noble office! I'm having too much fun making videos! LOL!! People have called me "unAmerican" for not liking crappie! LOL! It's me who has the problem, not you! They just seem so dry and mealy to me... I'll take the bluegill and save the crappie for you! That salmon cook was one of the best recipes I ever discovered! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
Thanks Juanelo. Great fishing. Remind me of my dad. He loved bluegill and crappies. Actually he loved most fish. Have been doing the PML for 50 years. Your asparagus recipe sounds great will try it with PML this week. Dave
Hi Dave! Bluegills are delish! I don't care as much for the taste of crappie for some reason, but I do eat them too. 😊 If you do try this recipe, don't cook the fish longer than 3½ minutes. Keep in mind that the lobstery taste is directly proportional to the amount butter you manage to apply to the bluegill. I'm so glad I could bring back good memories of your dad for you. Thanks a million for watching! All the best to you!
LOL! Funny restaurant scene John! The fish or umm lobstah and asparagus looked GOOD!
Hi Larry!! I never would have fooled the famous food critic with this recipe anyway! But it was interesting that the more butter I applied to the fish, the better it tasted! LOL! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
nice video man. love it looks good
Hi Zachary! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
Hi John,, the sun setting was absolutely beautiful. Loved the reflection in the water. I sure do enjoy watching you Fish. I think it was a good thing Miss Lulu was in NY,, she would had known you were trying to trick here. On the last day of our vacation Chris treated himself to fresh Lobstaaa,, he was a happy guy. I wish I liked it. Your meal looks super yummy,,, what a great idea. Also yummy asparagus. Happy day and hugs to you both.
Hi Brenda! I could never fool a food critic of her stature with my fake lobster! LOL! But it sure was yummy enough for me! I knew you don't care much for lobster, but to me, and probably Chris, it's the food of the gods! Pure ambrosia!!! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my dear friend!
Yes Chris would agree :)
Amazing video! I just started watching you and you really entertain me! I can't wait for more videos! Keep it up!
Hi Frosty! I'll try to keep the videos coming. You are too kind! I watch my own videos late at night when I'm suffering from insomnia! Beats any drug! Thank you for tuning into my shows, and thank you especially for your good words my friend!
Hi Tex! You're just as entertaining with your comments! LOL! Thanks man!
no problem! I really hope your insomnia goes away!
Poor man's lobster,,, sounds really good Juanello,,, it looked amazing as usual,,, thanks for sharing my friend,,, and hopefully the drought will soon subside... 😊👍👋
Hi Daniel! The fake lobster can't fool a famous food critic, but it was sure yummy enough for me! The more butter, the better the fish tasted! With fall here, we'll get more rain, and a lot less evaporation! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
Hi Juanelo. Lots of love to you and Miss Lulu. Keep fishing.
Hi Nora!! You're so kind! Thanks so much for watching my videos and thank you especially for the very nice comment my friend! Miss Lulu says "Hi Nora!! 👋"
You make fishing look so easy Wow, that is an awesome fish/lobster recipe.
Hi Lyne! It sometimes takes HOURS to catch enough fish, but I try to spare my viewers the futility! LOL! The fake lobster works!! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
I enjoy your fishing videos soo much !!
Hi San Pancho! Thanks so much for watching my videos! Thanks a million for the really kind comment my friend!
love the video, you always make me laugh
Hi sqhunter! Man that makes me so glad! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
Se ve riquisimo. Lo tratare pronto. Gracias por las recetas!
Hola Jarit! Prueba esta receta! ¡Creo que te gustará! Hervir el pescado por no más de 3 ½ minutos! Muchas gracias por ver mis videos! Gracias sobre todo por las palabras amables, mi amigo!
Didn't know you were a Bill Goudy friend, I knew I subbed to you for a reason. Bush Time With Bill!! Unfortunately he is on a low carb diet so not much of the cold vessels of Amber fluid but another great channel! Wish me luck! Heading to the NorthWoods to close the cabins for the winter this weekend 😥and go on my last Musky adventure for 2016.
Hi Douglas!! I've been following my friend Bill Goudy for years! He has really cut down on his libations of amber fluid due to his low-carb diet. Isn't this a great time of year to go for musky? I hope so! You ought to show us your cabins up there on a UA-cam video! I'd love to see your set up! Sounds like great fun! Best of luck on your fishing! Thanks a million for watching my videos!
I wouldn't have the foggiest notion of how to upload it or even have the production value and editing that you currently put out. But maybe for SAG I will capture some video and seek some advice.
Be careful, once you learn to edit and upload video, it's very addictive! LOL!!
I enjoyed being able to see you actually try it this time, usually you just give us a review after eating. More of this would be great.
Hi Alcsaar! I know that I should do more taste tests but when Ms. Cheeks is with me, it's difficult. She wants to get on with dinner and I can't blame her. UA-cam is my hobby, not hers. So she doesn't care to stand around doing take after take tasting food on camera while dinner is getting cold. I know you understand! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
hello fella I will definitely have to try this thanks again. I always look forward to these videos. you make my day. God bless
Hi Robert! If you try this, don't cook your fish more than 3½ minutes. It would be plenty! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
awesome video juanelo you are the best man :)
Hi Reverb! You are too kind!! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
Love the asparagus side!! Our poor man's lobster was always made from northern pike. And I think it was just boiled without spices, cooled and dipped in a prodigious amount of melted butter. Thanks for bringing back those delicious memories! Great video as always!! 💞☺
Hi Laurice! Yes!!! Several of the fake lobster recipes I found online were for northern pike!! I didn't realize they had northerns in MD! Maybe you lived somewhere farther north at one time? I did discover that the tastiness of the fish increased in proportion to the amount of butter that adhered to it! LOL! It wouldn't have fooled a food critic, but was certainly yummy enough for me! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your interesting, kind comment my friend!
These were fished in the Lake of the Woods area in Ontario, Canada. No pike here that I know of. The bones were super annoying, but the fish is so tasty.
Yes, I've heard many times that the "Y" bones are a pain! But the fish is delish!
Loved rewatching this great episode. Hope you and misses are doing well. Miss seeing new episodes too. Well it's almost spring here in the panhandle. Looking forward to the spring stripper run up river and also some trout. Cleaned the boat today getting ready for a couple days fishing on the Beau t iful Blackwater River. Bye for now sir.
Hi Bill! Thanks for remembering me and Ms. Lulu. We've been doing well here, just enjoying retirement. I hope you and Bren have been fine too. We had a couple of nice days up here, so I had a chance to fish and catch a jumbo perch and a 4 LB bass, so I'm happy. Glad to learn you'll be taking out the boat again! Good luck! I appreciate your stopping by and leaving the good words! All the best to you!
Great video...always a pleasure to watch...
Hi Tony! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
Here we go again I`m watching my favorite show!!!! :) Thanks for sharing this recipe. Love it, Really wanna try this one. My husband is a fishermen and I love lobster but who can afford that!! LOL may be one day!!!! Have a wonderful week my friends :)
Hi Nataly! You are just so kind! If you try the fake lobster, don't boil the fish for longer than 3½ minutes. I think you'll enjoy it! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
Hey my friend, I haven't checked in in a while. Looks like another home run!! Just ate dinner but now I'm hungry again!! lol -Sean
Hi KAO! I'm sorry that I haven't been able to watch your videos either... I've been meaning to! I noticed that the tastiness of the fake lobster here increased in direct proportion to the amount of butter that adheres to it! LOL!! Thanks a million for stopping in and leaving the kind words my friend!
I know your videos are primarily centered around cooking, but you should do a video where you only target the big bass haha that would be fun to watch.
Uyeah it would
Hi David! I'll consider trying, but if I don't catch a big one at Lake Ketchabigwon, I would have no video to show that week! That wouldn't be fun for anyone! LOL! Thank you so much for watching my videos!
Poor man's lobster, hahaha! Your recipe looks great, they always do :-)
Hi Siri! The more butter on the fish, the better it tasted! LOL! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
Ah a pity that Lulu wasn´t able to try it. The name Poor Man´s Lobster dinner is great! And so it looks :-) Great cooking again, Juanelo my dear friend.....Jenny ☼
Hi Jenny! I'll save up my pennies and serve her the real thing! In the meantime my fake lobster was plenty yummy enough for me! LOL! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kindness my friend!
So much fish good excursion :) the asparagus looks tasty :) the fish looks great almost like lobster woo :) great recipe from Bill
Hi Kate! It was another fun excursion, yes! The asparagus was especially delicious!! I don't think I would have fooled Ms. Cheeks with my fake lobster though! LOL! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
This recipe looks fantastic and your videos are very entertaining.
Hi Brad! As I mentioned to others here, the tastiness of the fish increased in direct proportion to the amount of butter that adheres to it! LOL! Thanks so for watching my videos! Thanks even more for leaving the kind comment my friend!
Wow i just found you and you are so cool you make me smile every time i watch you keep up what your doing -A Fellow Fishermen
Hi WB! You're very kind!! I'll do my best to keep the videos coming. Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend! Tight lines!
The poor mans lobster came out mighty fine my friend.
The asparagus looked incredible too. You could put garlic and pecorino on an old shoe and I'd scarf it down.
It's a good thing Ms Lulu couldn't make it. Being a food critic I think she would have definitely uncovered the ruse.
Honesty is always the best policy when it comes to women and there's no shame in an incredible dinner like you just made my friend. :)
Hi Anne!! I know what you mean!! Pecorino and garlic... MMM!! LOL!! I don't think I could have ever pulled the wool over Ms. Lulu's eyes. My dishonesty would have only backfired on me! But the fake lobster was plenty good enough for me. I discovered an interesting phenomena; the more butter that I applied, the better the fish tasted! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your really super comment my dear friend!
Old Bay, lemon, and butter. You can't go wrong! I'll definitely be trying this recipe, asparagi and all. Thx, as always, Juanelo!
Hi McKay! Lemon and butter are winners for sure! You'll see that the tastiness of the fish increases in proportion to the amount of butter that adheres to it! LOL! The asparguy (LOL) might just be the star of this show! This isn't the absolute best fish recipe I've ever tried, but it's pretty darn good! Good luck with it! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
:)
you deserve way more subscribers and Views your videos are perfect
Hi ADA! You are so kind! Maybe some day they'll come! Thanks loads for watching my videos! Thank you most of all for the very nice comment my friend!
made me smile evertime you got excited when catching a fish
Hi Francisco! I do get excited when I catch a fish, I can't help myself! I'm like a little boy! LOL! Glad you can smile along with me! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
as always great video
Hi Lowkey! You're very nice to say that! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
I just subscribed to your channel and I'm hooked!
Hi Ivan! Thanks a million for subscribing! Thanks for watching my videos! Thanks for taking the time to leave the good words my friend!
John, this was both an entertaining fishing show as well as a wonderful faux lobster boil! The little Gulp minnow (I have some in my crappie lure box) worked quite well on the 1/32d jig head. One of these days I'm going to Lake E with Lorraine and stock up on some bluegills, too, and hope the crappie are on the banks as they are really good from that lake. The asparagus (same singular or plural) was terrific and, yes, Italian demanded the Romano! Hope Lulu had a good trip to NYC and gives a good review of Che Abysmal Abode when she gets back LoL. Great show and great recipe! Hi to Jeanne. Don & Brenda
Hi Don! LOL!! "Che Abysmal Abode" is my place at the lake for sure! As for the fishing, I couldn't miss with the tiny Gulp minnow! Those little fry imitations really work swell! I noticed something interesting about this fake lobster: the tastiness increased in direct proportion to how much butter adhered to it! LOL! The asparagus cried out for grated cheese and I'm glad I complied because it was wonderful! I wish you great success in hunting bluegill and crappie at Lake E! I'll look forward to your video! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your good words my friend! All the best to you, Brenda, and sister, Lorraine! --- John & Jeanne
another great video👍 hopefully you get some rain soon
Hi Ryan! Thanks for your rainy wishes! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
I'm a new sub and I like your videos keep up the good work
Hi Quinn! I'll do my best in the future! Thanks so much for subscribing and for watching my videos my friend. Thank you especially for the kind comment!
Even though I'm not much of a fan of lobster I'm still going to try this because it sounds very interesting another great video :)
Hi JAG! I found that this recipe increased in deliciousness in direct relation to how much butter adhered to the fish! It didn't taste much like lobster, but it was GOOD! Thanks very much for watching my videos! Thanks especially for the good words my friend!
Nice video like always!
Also good EDITING !
Hi David! Somehow I missed your comments 2 weeks ago! I'm so sorry! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
Ah you're such a cutie patootie with a great smile just like grandpa. Always had me giggling! Thanks
Hi Ms. M! Aww, you're too kind! I'm beyond honored to remind you of grandpa! Thanks a million for watching our shows and especially for leaving the kind words my friend!
Hey Juanelo, in my area the last thing we're experiencing is a drought...rain and more rain. Water temps are dropping fast :( That meal looked fantastic, definitely never forget the cheese ;) Lulu missed out on this one. Great video buddy.
Jim, I know, I keep hearing you talk about rain and muddy water, and Lake Ketchabigwon is as low as I've seen it! But you're right, at least it's getting cooler out. Ms. Lulu missed a good one, I agree! Thanks a million for tuning in, and thank you especially for the good words my friend!
Those crappie are delicious. Yum Yum. Happy Friday. 🐟🐟🐟
Hi GP! You know I'm not a big crappie fan, but the bluegill were delicious! LOL! Thanks so much for watching my videos! Thanks even more for the kind words my friend!
Good to see you doing well. :@)))
Hi Pamela! Great to see you again! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
Never heard of that kinda turn of the recipe into lobster, but it looked good to me. Sorry to learn that Miss Lulu didn't fall for that.....ay que pena! Hang in there my buddy, your cooking is so tasty, so delicious-looking, you are certain to win her over soon!
Hi John! I noticed that the good taste of the fake lobster increased in direct proportion to the amount of butter that adhered to it! LOL!! It was pretty good, but it wouldn't fool a famous food critic! One of these days, I'll win her heart! Thanks so much for watching! Thank you even more for las palabras amables mi amigo!
A lovely video. Thanks.
Hi Sylvia! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
another great video my friend. you should try the gulp leaches. They are very good bait and they catch fish!! keep up the good work!
Hi Contardi! I've tried gulp leaches and I love them! They work great! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your encouraging comment my friend!

Hi James! Thanks so much for watching my videos! Thank you even more for the kind comment my friend!
We just bought a house on a decent bass pond last year. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks!
Hi Michael! Congratulations on the new house and pond! Don't cook the fish longer than 3½ minutes and it will be great! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
Awesome show my friend. I will have to try this out. Very very interesting indeed. I love asparagus and that looked amazing. What do you end up doing with all the crappie? You seem to always leave them out.Thanks for sharing.
Hi John! You should try it! Just don't let the fish cook for longer than 3½ minutes. I froze the crappie. Although I don't care as much for the taste, they might come in handy if I am trying to make a fishing and cooking video where I can't catch enough fish. Having them on hand is better than no cooking video! LOL! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
AWESOME vid my man
Hi Classickiller! You're very nice! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind words my friend!
Great video. I love fishing and cooking. Tight line, my friend.
Hi Klein boy! An old UA-cam friend inspired this recipe, and I liked it a lot. Thanks so much for watching the show and thanks especially for the good words! Tight lines!
Thanks for the great idea I'm try it this week
Hi Hector! Don't cook the fish longer than 3½ minutes and it will be great! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
Hi Juanelo! I see you catch a lot of blue gill and other panfish I would highly recommend trying trout magnets. They are little split tail soft plastic worms and they work amazing for me. Awesome videos!
I have some of that Crab and Shrimp Boil that's been in the cupboard for a long time. I guess I should try it one of these days. There was a fish jumping behind you in one of your scenes!
Hi Jim!! Use that shrimp boil up before it's stale! I noticed something interesting about this fake lobster. The tastiness increased in direct proportion to how much butter adhered to it! LOL! Yes, fish are always jumping in the middle of the lake, and some days, I can't catch them! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your good words my friend!
it all looks good. I'm really digging that asparagus
Hi Lyle! The asparagus was the star of the show! With all that good cheese, it can't miss! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
I love the asparagus and you can never go wrong with cheese! Speaking of cheese, I made the cauliflower last week. It was a cheesy success! In fact, I am making another pan of it to take to a family dinner tomorrow. It is too bad that Ms. Lulu couldn't come to your "real" lobster dinner, but you may be right about her knowing it was fake. I bet one of the classes they have to take in food critic school is telling the difference between fake and the real thing. I know it is almost the weekend and time for another installment of Juanelo and Ms. Cheeks, but enjoy the rest of the week until we see you again. Hugs to you both.
Hi April! Somehow I just noticed your unanswered comment here! I'm sorry I missed it! Oh, I'm so happy you made the cheesy cauliflower!! Yes, make more!! I don't think I could have pulled the wool over Ms. Cheeks' eyes with the fake lobster. But it was tasty! The deliciousness of the fake lobster was directly proportional to the amount of butter that adhered to it! LOL! Thank you so much for tuning in! Thanks especially for your kindness my dear sweet friend! Big hugs from us to YOU!!!
Juanelo1946 I was very late watching your video so you may not have been looking at comments. The second batch of cheesy cauliflower was even better than the first and my family members who tend to eat low carb loved it. Maybe the next time you make your fake lobster you could brag about it to Ms. Lulu. You know us ladies are always looking for a bargain. If we can get something just as good for a better price, then we jump right on it. Now, I have to get busy watching videos so I can watch your newest one.
April, I love your suggestions on how to attract Ms Lulu! LOL!! This time it's with appealing to her love of bargains! I'm so happy to hear the feedback on the cheesy cauliflower casserole! It's a keeper recipe! Thank you my dear friend!
Juanelo1946 :-) The pleasure is all mine.
Great video!
Hi Denise! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
Man I love these videos.
Hi Method Man! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
Juanelo1946 Hi Juanelo1946, watching your videos actually got me into fishing. I've tried many of your recipes and absolutely love them. Unfortunately none of the ponds and lakes I live near let you keep bass so I haven't been able to try any of your bass recipes yet. Love the poor man's lobster however I had it last night.
You probably know this but my fish recipes are interchangeable with most any kind of fish. So you could use bluegill! Thanks so much for the kind feedback my friend!
Wow This is awesome, greate video
Hi Justin!! How kind of you! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
I have a freezer full of blue gill. gonna try this. thank you sir, and my son and I love your videos.
Hi Jedi! Don't cook the bluegill over 3½ minutes, and they'll be great! Don't skimp on the butter either! LOL! Thanks so much for watching my videos my friend! Thanks especially for the kind comment!
Hi John! To be totally honest with you, I think I would rather have bluegill over lobster. Lobster is ok, but I much prefer other seafood over it. It's so expensive, and bluegill taste better, so I'm really liking your recipe. The name Bill Goudy sounds so familiar to me. Did he use to right an article in one of the outdoors magazines. I remember years ago someone with the last name Goudy had a monthly column in the magazine. Just curious!
Hi Rus!! I'm a bluegill lover too! To make this fake lobster best, I would cook it only 3 minutes! It cooks so fast in boiling water. And you don't want it to be dry. I noticed too that the tastiness of the fish increased in direct proportion to the amount of butter that adheres to it! LOL!! Wasn't there a sportscaster named Bill Goudy too? Now you have me thinking, yes, that name is familiar! I put a link to his channel in the description notes. But I don't think he is famous outside of his UA-cam circle! LOL! He is a star in my book though! He inspired this recipe! Thank you for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
Hello juanelo i enjoy watching your videos that poor man,s lobster recipe was aswsome do more video,s i will keep watching......
Hi Brad! That poor man's lobster recipe was a good one, courtesy of my friend, Bill Goudy! I'll do my best to keep the videos coming! Thanks a million for watching my videos! Thank you most of all for the good words my friend!
That looks Good!
Hi UBW!! The fake lobster may not fool anyone, but it sure turned out good! Thank you very much for watching my videos! Thank you even more for leaving the kind comment my friend.
You made Bill Goudy proud!
Hi Rex! I hope I did! I followed his advice and the poor man's lobster was outstanding! Thanks loads for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your nice comment my friend!
I love seeing how happy he is while fishing
Hi JT! I can't help myself. I'm like a kid in a candy shop! 😊 Thanks for watching and for the nice comment!
Nice fish again and beautiful fillets...I love the asparagus for sure...My mother in law grills it...Emmm...Yes sir...That meal turned out to look Delicious....Lobster gills....
Hi Gonzo! Who would of thought you could get anything like lobster from fish in my pond! LOL! But the goodness of the fish was directly proportional to the amount of butter that adhered to it! YUM! Thanks a million for watching my videos, and thanks even more for the kind comment my friend!
This is how I ended my broadcast day last night. I was so tired that I couldn't leave a comment, so I'm-a-doin' it now! heh heh.
If only I could snag a few Bluegill, I'd be giving this one a shot, John!
Hi Dan! You can do it! You can catch a fish! I expect you to get a fishing license next spring and take that lad fishing, at least once! LOL! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for taking the time to leave the kind words my friend!
We've taken him fishing a few times... But now, I'm sure he's outgrown that Spongebob fishing pole!
Hahahaha! Yes! Time for a new rod! That old one is just embarrassing now! LOL!!
Those asparagus looks killer John! I am starting to really like side dishes... the other day I made some delicious baked carrots and there was enough for 4 people. but me and my bf ended up eating them all... lol! I will try these asparagus soon John! yum! 👌
Hi Julia! Side dishes for me lately have been healthy dishes because they usually mean vegetables! I used to HATE vegetables, but we live and learn! Baked carrots sound exquisite!! MMM!!! Maybe some day you'll do a vegetable on your show. Then we'll see if your views go up or down! LOL! Try these easy asparagus! You'll love them! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
Juanelo1946 Oh I will try them! yum!
great video my friend, looks delicious.
Hi Mike! I noticed too that the tastiness of the fish increased in direct proportion to the amount of butter that adheres to it! LOL! Thanks a million for stopping over!
haha butter makes everything better.
It looks so good. Lobster is so expensive. Another great video. You should do a Q&A.
Hi Judah! Yes, lobster is too expensive! This is a great substitute! Thank you so much for watching my videos, and thank you especially for your kind comment my friend!
