unseasonably warm for December. [music]

We had a cold, cold two weeks. We were

ice skating, having adventures.

But we weren't the only people out there

on the lake. There were these skaters

with these little fancy sails gliding

across the ice like they were riding on

the wind. And instantly it took me back

to the old Popular Mechanics book I had

as a kid where they built these big kite

sales that did well the same thing. It

looked like so much fun I jumped right

online to see what a setup like this

would cost. But once I added up the

price of the Nordic skates, which my

research shows makes for a more

comfortable lake skate and the sale,

even the cheapest options pushed over

$1,000 and the most expensive

combination was well over $2,000. So I

decided to build my own. combining that

original design with the more sleeker

batwing shape of these more modern ones.

And and then 50° in rain and the ice was

back to what looked like 2 in yesterday

when I checked right after I finished my

little sail. So I could go sail around

the lake and go ice fishing and be able

to sail all the way back on my ice

skates.

I tell you, good weather is hard to

find.

Now, today's video, by the way, is

brought to you by AG1.

Cuz uh when I'm out on adventures and

it's winter time, can't always get your

greens, but you can with A1. More on

that later.

[music]

What are you doing? Are you cold?

[music]

Good girl. What have you been digging

in? What have you been digging in?

>> [music]

[music]

>> head down and check on the ice. Maybe

get the hot tub going before I do it,

just in case I do go through. I got

somewhere warm to go after. Nice. The

water is flowing.

We could totally

give this puppy a wipe down and get some

hot water and a fire going in here and

have a nice warm hot tub after uh either

ice skating or falling through the ice.

One of the two. Let's give it a go. So,

this hot tub, it's a woodf fired, right?

And it's not electric at all. So, it's

got to be drained every time so it

doesn't freeze and get destroyed.

Nothing too crazy. A couple of sticks

and twigs. Never hurt anybody.

That only takes about 10 or 15 minutes

to fill. Let's get a fire ready. Looks

like the water wheels got a bit of

freeze damage. I should have made a shut

off right here or something cuz we're

losing some pressure. Springtime job.

Sticks. Let's get some sticks. Where's

some sticks, butter? Snip them out.

Don't need much. Just a little fire

start. Dead sticks

from a hemlock.

I don't think that's going to be enough

birch bark. We're going to have to use a

fire starter.

Get that birch bark going.

Put a little pile of sticks on there.

Oh, I feel a lot better about ice

skating on thin ice.

If I could just

I will be safe. Don't get me wrong. I'm

joking about this. Do not try this at

home, boys and girls. Unless you're a

professional. I have a float suit. I'm

going to be putting on my float suit. my

pissy fun ice fishing suit that will,

you know, allow me to float if I pop in

and I'll have my ice picks with me so

that I could just like boop boop boop

back out. I've fallen in multiple times

before, so I know how that works. I'm

also going to call my brother before I

finally go in.

Whoop! I I see she's full. She's full.

Get my ice chisel here, which got some

measurements on it, and head out to the

dock.

Yes, there is a dock on the ice. Why is

there a dock on the ice? I like to wait

till December cuz it hasn't froze up

until mid January usually.

And I waited a day too long and all of a

sudden like I went away, did North

Carolina, came back and we had like 3 in

of ice. And I was like, there's no

pulling it then. I like it doesn't seem

to be hurt or anything. It's just

sitting here. Hasn't gotten all shacked

or messed up yet.

But I hear lots of popping and cracking

under me.

It's 40° and [snorts]

that's not good. That's not good.

It's exactly 2 and 1/2 in. If you're

walking along and you're checking your

ice as you're walking and you can go

through in one stab

is no good. You got to get out of there.

This one, two, three stabs to get

through. That's

I really don't feel like going for a

swim as much as I was talking it up. I

think we might have to wait till

tomorrow. While that's heating up, I

thought I take care of some more of

these stumps. The work around the tiny

house never ends. And these little

tripping hazards have been bugging me

for a while, unfortunately. Electric

chainsaw, not so good for this. Saw with

a wood cutting blade, not so good.

Grinder with this sculpting blade that I

got on Amazon. Awesome for small stumps

and roots under 3 in. If they're a

tripping hazard, they're gone.

It sort of took all day to get the hot

tub up to temp. All that uh cold, icy

water was quite cold and icy. Look at

it. The steam it is temperature is

dropping and I figured, hey, let's take

a dip and I'll tell you about our

sponsor for today's video. While we're

waiting for the ice to get hard enough

to ice skate on, let's see how we're

doing with the hut. Oh, I love this

thing.

It's so warm in here. Oh, and our

sponsor for today's video is AG1.

[laughter]

It sounds totally cheesy, but I I do

love AG1. AG1 is a daily health drink

before you drink anything else. You

drink your AG1 because it's a delicious

multivitamin probiotic superfood. That's

one of the easiest things you can do to

support your body every day. Uh in my

pursuit to be more healthy lately after

having lime and uh you know and getting

to that age where I'm like, hey, you

know, I want to live to to 87. You know,

I'm I'm trying to do better with my

life. And when I'm traveling, like we

tried to do a video for AG1 recently

with a Jersey trip. I went all the way

down there stealth camping in the back

of the truck on cold nights in November

and uh you know I have these in the

morning because when I'm down there and

I'm not actually catching any fish for 3

days sleeping in the cold out in the

cold all the time I don't get to

necessarily get my greens. You see some

striper? Where are they at? Over there.

All right. Say hi to your mother for me.

I go to the the restaurant at the end of

the night where it's warm and comfy and

I have myself a cheeseburger and fries

and and say, "You know what? I don't

need a salad tonight because I had my

AG1."

That's good. I have two kids in school,

which means my immune system is under

constant attack from the things they're

trying to bring home with them from

school. And I don't mean homework. And

AG1 helps support my immune system,

which is super important at this time of

year. And with Christmas here, we're not

always putting the most healthy stuff

into our bodies. Maybe one too many

cookies, but AG1 is helping me fill in

the gaps here. And when I'm on my

adventures, and I don't always find that

fresh vegetable, especially at this time

of year when it's winter time, and I

don't uh do a lot of foraging during the

winter time, just a lot of ice fishing.

So, I have that glass in the mornings

before my quiet time and I'm ready to go

for the day. So, check out AG1's New

Year bundle. Until January 14th, get a

free AG1 duffel bag, a free AG1 welcome

kit, and a free travel sampler with all

three of their flavors. Only while

supplies last. Brought myself something

cool to refresh myself when I'm down

here. Since I already have my AG1 for

the day, we got a seltzer, some

refreshing orange seltzer. Oh, mandarin

orange seltzer. And a little mandarin

orange. It's just so hot in here. have a

little bit of a soak and then take my

sleep supplements from AG1 and get some

good rest so I can get out there on the

ice in the morning. We'll see how that

sail works then. I'm going to put this

one orange on my head and and then eat

the other one.

Wow,

that's a ticket right there. So, don't

forget to check out AG1 linked in the

description below.

It's hot in here.

Let's see if it's any better now.

That's pretty good. Back up to 3 in. But

there's zero

zero wind and we got a snowstorm coming.

Bummer. Once the snows hits the ice and

there's 9 in of snow, there's not going

to be much ice skating.

I'll meet you out there. I'll grab the

sail. Fortunately, I had everything I

needed just kicking around the shop.

This clear plastic tarp with fibers in

it came from Amazon. I bought it a

couple years ago and hadn't done

anything with it yet. Seemed like it was

big enough to make two, so I fold it in

half and cut it. I didn't draw anything

out. All the plans were in my head, and

I had to build the shape of the piece of

material I had. Taking a few rubberized

wire ties, I temporarily attached two

pieces of bamboo together and a 1-in PVC

tube, bending the PVC tubing to create

the shape of the leading edge of the

sail. These three pieces would make up

the support structure that holds the

sail's shape when in use. After cutting

it out, I cut some relief cuts and sewed

it all together on the sewing machine,

creating this curved pocket that would

hold the bent piece of PVC tubing. I

decided to just drill and tie the whole

thing together. I figured that would

make it so I could take it back apart

again pretty easily and something more

permanent could happen to it later. I

also added a small pocket about 2 ft

long with a fiberglass rod in it at the

back edge of the sail to hold its

structure there. It probably didn't even

take me a whole 4 hours to build this.

And once it was all tied together, it

was ready to go.

I was so stoked. snowstorm

tonight. Nine inches. Uh might be the

end of ice uh well ice skating for the

end of the season. Unless I, you know,

snow plow a patch, but I'm not going to

or uh snow blow a patch for ice skating.

It's not going to not be big enough to

use the sail on. The whole point of the

sail is you can rip down the whole lake.

Rig up our sail.

I made it so it doesn't it could come

untied all in all corners and bundle

right up as as much as this, but it

transports good enough to just for the

time being toss it in the back of the

truck with just this one little part

here and extra. That should do it. All

right, sail is ready. I ended up just

going back to the house for the morning

and working on stuff with Joey, getting

some more guillotakus out for people

that slacking, been too busy to finish

them. And now they're not going to make

it on Christmas time. Couple days after

the kids will still be on Christmas

break, my friends that came up for a

visit and a couple other people without

Joey working for me anymore.

I have somebody to make me some nice

frames for all the the painting. So

that's why we kind of haven't been doing

big giveaways and stuff with the

paintings like we usually do cuz I just

don't have the manpower

get

nice and tight. Last couple years we've

been pretty unfortunate or fortunate.

There hasn't been a lot of snow on the

ice. It's made ice fishing really easy

down this way.

Outside of the fish catching is better

further north where there is more snow

on the ice.

But it's also meant we'll be able to ice

skate more of the winter. Normally

winter comes and some little rains,

little fall ice, nice smooth glassy ice

and you can skate until the first big

snows start coming and then they pock

the whole top of the ice up and leave

like 3 or 4 inches of crusty snow and

and it's all over ice skating for the

season. Unless you if I was to snow blow

a little area here, we could have a

little ice skating rink. I could pump

some water back up on top.

Still not super sturdy on these things.

Hey, I'm moving. I'm move.

>> You need wind cuz it um

>> helps push the sail.

>> Yeah.

>> Yay.

It's just enough breeze. Just enough

breeze I can creep along.

>> Yeah. Need a little wind here.

Oh, I lost it. Lost the wind.

>> Sorry about this wind. I can't believe

there isn't any wind out here. This is

ridiculous.

>> Well, okay, we'll just ice skate out and

fish.

My plan was if I was using the sail, I

would not want to drag the sled at the

same time. That'd be too many items,

right? And I put my minnows in here and

pop them in the basket.

Since I don't need any extra hands to

hold the sail pulling the sled

[music]

[music]

warm awful quick

skating along

I do have ice picks on cuz it is still

early season and with everything going

on the other day melting off and getting

thick again. These I keep around my

neck. I got spikes in there. I fall in.

I take them. Tonk tonk tonk tonk tonk.

Pull myself out. We're good to go. Put

these back around my neck and tuck them

right into there.

I'm glad I at least got the chance to

skate down the lake. Give me an idea of

where I'll be able to go with the snow

dog once the uh snow is on the ice.

It's hard to read the ice

once there's snow on top. Sometimes

bigger lakes only half of it freezes and

then the other half freezes later. and

cruising along with the snow dog. Drill

a hole one time 8 in and then that

latest newest ice drill a hole and all

of a sudden I'm back to 2 in of ice and

I'm like oh got to get out of here.

That's happened to me before and booked

it quick as I could off of that section

of the lake. You can't see that

underneath the snow sometimes.

>> [music]

>> Well, that didn't take long at all.

About a mile down the ice, maybe 15

minute skate.

And uh here we are by this stream which

looks a little sketchy. Right here

there's a little bit of a point that

comes out. And here is a good place.

There's a lot of debris cuz a lot of

water last time it rained washed extra

leaves up on top. But it seems it's only

like 3 ft deep right here. I wouldn't

want to fall in. But

I see like some pretty clear ice back

that way.

Seems pretty good here. See if we can

catch a trout. If not, we'll go deeper

and see if we catch a pan fish. Doesn't

look very thick.

Risking life and limb here.

That's pretty sturdy.

Maybe this is pretty sturdy up here,

too. It's only a foot and a half deep.

Okay. Got to do this the right way.

There we go.

4 in.

That's more than safe. That's an extra

inch of safety.

>> That sounds safe. We'll

>> set a couple of these guys.

I think I'm going to have to set it on

its side. It's so shallow right here.

I'll set it like this. Nice gates don't

exactly make it easy to move around on.

There we go. Nice big minnow.

I like to put them down through the top.

[sighs and gasps]

Pop them in.

Well, that one's going to have to be on

its side.

That'll be okay.

[music]

All

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> right, we got four set. Let's open up

navigation here. See if there's a spot

where there's some fish held up.

Let's start checking here. Supposedly 20

ft.

Turn the flasher on here.

Button to go on there.

And down it goes. Strip some line out.

First time this year. Got marks on

there. See if we can get him to chase

us. Oh yeah. Fish on.

Little one, I think. Oh.

Oh.

Hey,

white perch.

A little pokey fella.

>> [gasps]

>> We're not skunked.

Uh, I guess I'm letting that one go.

That's a good sign. That's a depth where

there is fish at, not a trout. Oh, see

if I can sit down.

I'm sitting. Keep an eye on my flags.

Oh, yeah. Fish on.

What we got?

Hey, another white perch.

Well, white perch. Just a small little

fish. And in some ways, they're kind of

like I mean, look at the silhouette

here. It's just like a a small walleye

with less meat and tastes pretty much

the same. So, I think we'll bring this

back so we're not skunked. Let's go

check on those other traps.

Yeah, like I thought nothing. He's still

swimming all around. I didn't get

stripped. Even the last one. Oh, wait.

Flag just popped up. H I can't stop all

that. Well, I'm going to have to circle

it. I don't see it running.

Oh.

Oh, something hit it right then.

[sighs]

Put it back down.

You notice that? Can you hear that

sound?

The uh

the bubbler.

I don't know why somebody else didn't do

this sooner. This has got pulse on it.

It's an Engle bubbler.

uh UV charge it with a USBC.

But you hear how quiet that is? All my

life I've had the battery powered ones

that

Hey, want to hear the most annoying

sound in the world?

Whenever I go to like edit the video,

this thing, you know, you go out ice

fishing for a three-day weekend, you

charge it once, you're good to go.

Three, two,

one.

That's it. Calling it.

Hey, I made it all that way. I didn't

fall down once. Our sponsor, AG1, was

nice enough to let us push the video

because it snowed and ruined the ice.

And then it rained and then it froze.

And now it looks to be a beautiful,

breezy day for a skate sale.

All right. Nice long run. Uh uh. Oh.

Yes. Yes.

I thought that felt like A GOOD FISH.

THAT is a nice nice trout. Look at that.

I only ever pull up yellow perch and

white perch over here. So, I was just

like, "Oh, that's just a big perch."

That is sweet. That's a fish worth

printing and cooking. A beautiful brook

trout. First trout of the new year.

That's That's a nice one. Looks like it

was a stock one, but the size of it

maybe from a year or two ago. That's

awesome.

Thank you, Lord. Now, that's a delicious

That's a delicious meal. That's a full

15 and 12 inch rookie.

Kind of put them on ice cuz I want to

print it so I can't uh dispatch or do

anything to mess it all up.

All right, first fish of the new year

and uh a print for you guys again. We'll

do one for myself and and one for a

subscriber.

Oh, I got my sail. And I got a flag out

there. Oh, we got a flag right in front

of me.

There we go. We got a fish. Oh, I lost

it.

Oh, THERE WE GO. HEY, NOW we're moving.

Whoa. How do we stop?

We got

to go upwind. No, no, no. Sail. This is

hard. It looks All right, I got to go

upwind

and then the sail.

Drop the sail so I can get to the trap.

If it's really windy, this is going to

be hard. It would be taking the sail

away from me. I got a fish.

Oh, it's sideways. Right. Sideways.

I don't feel anything. Oh, little

minnow's still there. Reset him.

Whatever it was, dropped it.

There we go.

There's just enough of a breeze. I'm

getting an assist.

FLAG.

Drop the sail.

Oh, fish on.

Wow. It's either a big fish or he's

wrapped up in the sticks at the bottom

there. That's a lot of fight.

Ah, he must have been wrapped up some

sticks. Yep. I had a feeling. Yeah. Got

into the weeds. Woohoo.

We're moving.

Yeoo.

Spinning. Oh, she's spinning. We got a

runner.

Yep. Fish on.

White birch.

Fish off. There we go.

I'm just cruising along. Sail's taking

me across the lake. All right. With

getting it figured out. Just need a

little more consistency on the wind. I

guess I'm glad for my first time really

getting it going good that it's not too

too windy.

I think it's a small one. Hey, small is

good. Still there. Oh, maybe it's not

that small. Yeah, medium.

Another white perch. Yeah, small one.

formed about an eighth of an a good

eighth of an inch of ice. Well, uh been

out here fishing. That's crazy. Just in

like 2 hours.

That's more like it.

Woohoo.

Let's see if I can go upwind.

Oh,

man. Down.

Oh, man. Down.

Oh, we got a fish.

We got a fish. Fish on. Fish on. fish on

the ice gates. Oh, we got a chain picker

roller. They're getting everybody today.

We're getting the full variety. We got

some lobster bait.

Ah, get a little bit of fun and then the

wind dies down. Just little gusts of

fun. I don't know if I can handle much

more than that. How's that one looking?

No fish there.

Turn it around.

What an adrenaline rush when you really

rip it.

Woo! Woo!

Woo!

Woo! All right, that's exhausting. That

was a fun first go of it. I'm glad I

finally got some wind to get blown way

out there real fast. I'm going to pull

the traps, make a fish print, make

something delicious.

There we go. I got him now.

Oh, we got the

the uh

Santa Beck Lake Slam. Got the the yellow

perch. Beautiful little yellow perch.

Oh, love the colors. Look at the colors.

It's so beautiful. Well, I'm going to

let this guy go. Yellow perch, white

perch, chain petrol,

and the only thing we haven't caught was

a bassinet.

We're back down at the lake. You ready?

You want to go inside? You look cold

already. Come on. You're already

shivering. Come on.

She was running around while I was

getting stuff ready.

And uh

you poor thing. You got so cold. You got

so cold.

So, let's

get our fish out and make this something

delicious. I grabbed something a little

different this time. Got some milk. And

I've been seeing this pop up in all

these other recipes. And this one I'm

doing is a pistachio crusted fish. And I

saw it in a surf casting book that I

read like a month ago. And then I looked

up, you know, pistachio crusted fish.

And a couple of the recipes talked about

using milk. And I was looking at it and

researching why to use milk. And milk

soap before you do it for like 10 to 30

minutes will remove a a certain amount

of fishy flavor and tenderize. We don't

really need that with the trout, but I I

thought I just combine that with

everything else I'm doing, you know, and

give that a go. Maybe I'll make a little

control piece of uh like the the white

perch. Let's turn the smoker on.

We'll do 350. I think I actually do 360

cuz it's a little bit temperature is off

on this thing just a touch. Especially

with the cold. My bigger one at the

house, it's insulated and so it works

better. But in the cold, this thing can

be off by 10° pretty easily.

Oh, it's a beautiful day. That snow is

settled in now and can't be skated

anymore. It's been a day since I caught

the fish and skated around. The reason

for that is cuz it takes a little bit to

do a good fish print. And I really

wanted a good print on that trout. So, I

pinned it, put it in the fridge, pulled

it back out, and did it in my studio

before we came down today. Trout are

notoriously hard to do a giu of. the uh

the skin being smooth, it usually

absorbs a lot of ink and then when you

go to put the paper on, it ends up glued

to it and and so you have to do like

four or five coats of ink and pat it all

down before you can do one impression on

the paper and then it a lot of times it

ends up glued if you don't move really

quickly. But I'm pretty happy with how

this turned out. This is years, two

years now of practicing this method to

get that good result. Whereas this

perch, I can lay it on here, slap some

ink on it. It takes me 3 minutes to do

the entire thing and I get just about

the same quality of print out of a white

perch. It's the scales that make the

difference on the perch, bass, things

like that. They print so easily. Then

you just wash off the ink and you're

ready to eat it because it's non-toxic.

I did run into a little snag while I was

cleaning the fish, though. My knife got

stuck on the second side of the fish.

There was a giant rubber worm in its

belly and the fillet knife got hung up

on it. Because the way I do this is I

cut down the spinal cord, leaving the

ribs on the fillets. And then flipping

it over, I take and just cut off that

one little piece of ribs. Clean up my uh

fish fillets, leaving the skin on them.

The white perch I completely filleted,

removing the skin, and all the remains

go into a bag in the freezer so I can

throw those into the lobster trap the

next time I'm out there. Then it was

just a matter of putting a happy little

eyeball on our trout, throwing it in a

frame, stamping it, labeling it,

trimming it, and she's ready to go. That

turned out so, so good.

I love it. Now, I don't want to give it

away. And if you look at the date,

12:31,

I was so excited when I caught it on New

Year's Eve that I was like, "Yeah, it's

the first fish of the new year." But it

was New Year's Eve. It wasn't actually

the new year. So, that means I'm just

going to have to go back out and catch

another fish. But, this one's for you

guys. I just got to put a piece of uh

glass in here and we'll draw a winner

from the next episode. And if you want

to enter to win, leave it in the

comments below. What's your New Year's

resolution? Are you going to eat more

greens this year or you know, whatever

your New Year's resolution is, leave in

the comments below and uh we will pick a

lucky winner in the next video. Got my

brand new fish spatula for Christmas

from my parents. So, I got two nice

little fish spatulas and this which came

from a subscriber. Aloha, Zack. Happy

cooking from Chef John Scouts Table.

Check this puppy out. Look at how nice

it matches.

O, [snorts]

this is so pretty. It's a perfectly

balanced,

very sharp.

Wow, that's quite the gift. Thank you so

much, Chef Johnny. I hope we can uh find

an email from you or something so we can

get in contact. If I go there and come

visit you or send you some Oh, we got to

send you a goodie.

We got some crackers. We got some

pistachios.

Got some garlic. Little lemon.

Little mustard. A little of the old

Dijon. It's going to be important part

of this. Some asparagus.

And it's a bake, so we're not just

straight up grilling it. Parsley,

ketchup,

tater.

And we're going to be doing it

on the grill, but just using the grill

as an oven. I got my little a cast iron

here. Take out, like I said, one of

these perch. We'll give that a like a 30

minute soak while we prep everything

else. Everything's going to go into our

rocker cutting bowl. Pistachios.

There's about half a cup, 3/4. There's a

lot of little husky bits on them.

>> A husky woman to bring you the sweet.

[music]

>> I'm going to work some of these around a

little bit and get the majority of the

the husky stuff off. There we go.

I am going to add couple crackers.

Teaspoon of pepper. Salt.

That's ready. Parsley.

So sharp. It's like feather weight. It

feels weird cooking cutting with this

thing. It's like compared to the the

bushcraft chopper which is like a bigger

like

a big

big on the rocker cutting. This is like

I moved from a sledgehammer to pound in

a nail to to a nice, you know, S-wing

bluehandled hammer. Just boom, one hit,

you know, framing hammer.

I don't know if framing hammer really

says finesse the way this.

There we go. Garlic.

That worked amazing.

Dijon. Nice local honey. A lemon, which

if you know me, I'm usually against the

lemon, but because we're baking it, it's

not the same as like squirting it on

your fish after. That's disgusting.

Butter as well.

Kind of a um recipe I did before that

has like mayonnaise and then breadcrumbs

on top and it kind of reminds me of

that. I feel like if uh mustard flavor

was kind of gross to you, I bet you

anything and I'm probably going to do

this for my kids or something. Try two

different ones one day. Do a mayo and

then the same pistachio top on it. Now

we can take our fish out of the milk and

pat it dry. I think I want this somewhat

warm so when it goes on the grill, it

doesn't end up burning my toppings all

over the top before this thing heats all

the way up. And there is some butter

sizzling effect going on underneath as

well as the crisping. butter this pan up

good cuz we're also going to be putting

our asparagus on there

and sprinkle our stuff on there.

Non-milk piece all the way at the top of

the pan. Remember that for me. Nonmilk

piece at the top of the pan.

a little hard to clean up sometimes

during the winter because I don't have

running water in here during the winter

from the water tower out there, right?

So, I have to when I'm heating the place

up for a little bit, I have to also

before I leave remember not to screw up

my piping and put just a little dash of

uh waterizer into my trap. And then I

can just let these jugs freeze in the

sink and then come back and either bring

a new jug with me or thaw it out and

spend a couple days here and stuff like

that. Usually while the kids are gone,

I'll spend like two nights down here.

Let's get it on the grill.

Come on, butter. Come on. Not so into

the outside today, are we? Quick blanch

and uh like a double fry on these.

That is so slick.

I like the thing about the steak fries.

We got this feathered edge along here.

So, you get some crispy. Then you got

some densess here. So, you'll have some

softness and then some crunch, you know,

with this edge here and over the whole

thing. If we get it right,

2 minutes.

See if I can dirty every single one of

my pans that's down here. avocado oil

goldeny on there just the littlest bit

on both sides. Pull them out. And then

when the food is just about ready, we

throw them back in. Sizzle, sizzle,

sizzle. They're crispy. We got our

crispy ters and our and our beautiful

asparagus and everything is done at the

same time.

All right, it's go time.

Fish is almost done. Got to flash these

off in the hot

and then we'll be able to plate

everything up together nice and warm.

Oh yeah. And made a little meatball for

butter.

Oh no, I just slipped. Ah, it just

slipped and mutilated one of the pieces

cuz the pans stuck underneath the lip.

Fail. Fail. Little fail. Not too big of

a fail.

Oh well.

There. Check on our fries.

Nice

goldeny butter's bowl. You smell that

butter? You smell all that yummy stuff?

It's a little smoked burger ball. And

because she's spoiled, I'll give her a

little bit of this

trout. There's a lot to all that. I

don't need all that for myself

asparagus.

Like that.

Ketchup.

Make a little dimple on my ketchup

fries.

Dimple in the ketchup is for the hot

sauce. I like to put a little bit of the

old chipotle sauce right there in the

middle of my ketchup.

Ready to go. Oh my goodness. That turned

out pretty darn good.

No, this wasn't yours. Get Come on. Come

here. Come on. Down. Down. Come here.

Sit.

Say grace. Here's a little piece on the

side. That's the non-milk one. And then

the milk one right there. So Lord, thank

you for this food. Thank you for the

adventure and the little bit of wind to

try it all out. And uh Jesus name. Amen.

Thank you, Lord. All right.

Well, what do we start with? It's so

good. It looks so good. All of it looks

so darn good. You [clears throat] know

what? I think I'm gonna start with a

piece of the perch.

[clears throat]

All right. Perch

with the milk and the Oh, pistachio

crust. So good. And

without

I don't know. Super good. I can't tell

if I could tell a difference or not. My

fries are moderately crispy.

[clears throat]

Oh, a little dash of sea salt on them.

There we go.

Too much salt in my diet.

>> That is delicious. Asparagus as always

is going to be good.

Let's try that trout.

That

big old bite. Pink. Delicious.

That is really good. That That is really

good. I feel like that's a great recipe

for the the air fryer. I'm realizing

right now though, I'm totally overs

salulting it cuz the pas pistachios had

salt. I noticed it when I made my

concoction earlier. I tasted it. I was

like I was like, "Wo,

that was that's that's close. That's

close. That's like does not eat any more

salt. I'd say that's a thing. That is

super good on the

white perch.

Ready to do something different? I think

slightly finer finer chop on all of it.

It's so good. I can't tell though if if

there's a difference between the uh milk

one and not. I think the little bit of

mustard and mayo with the pistachios on

it. Like there's so much flavor there.

You know, if the fillets were a little

thicker, you wouldn't be able to tell if

it was a a hadock or cod or I do like

it.

I can't wait to do this for somebody

else.

Wow, this is so delicious.

That sale was so much fun, but I only

got like a taste of it. Like I need a

nice consistent wind day where the wind

was like, you know, consistently 10 to

20 mph winds whereas it was like seven

to 15 mph winds with some little bit of

gusts in there. So I got a feel for what

it could be some consistent wind day. So

now I got myself a sail and I get to

have more fun with it. And who knows,

being on the East Coast, sometimes it'll

rain for a whole bunch of the winter and

then freeze back up again. I may get

several times to mess around with it

some more this winter being on the coast

the way we are here in Maine. You know,

we lost winter. It's just not what it

used to be. And I'm just happy that we

get to ice fish, you know, now instead

of like 3 weeks from now like it was the

year before and the year before that.

So, thank you AG1 for sponsoring this

video, guys. Thank you for watching and

thank you all the subscribers and

everybody that's brought us to here

where we are today. I think it's been

like 10 years this year. 10 whole years.

It's been awesome and I feel like I'm

just gearing up for some crazy new

adventures. Just picked up a free boat,

free lobster yacht that was uh being

rebuilt and then and then just got

stalled out the project years ago. So,

it's in mint condition. Just needs to be

finished up and have some great crazy

adventures on the high seas and got so

many more ideas up here for you guys.

We're not running out of uh ideas. So,

we'll see you in the next one. Thanks

for watching.

want to say thanks for watching. Mhm.

>> No, she hasn't. Foul her out. And don't

forget to check out our sponsor linked

in the description below. I'm having

their AGZ, which is like a a sleep uh

aid thing. Uh just like a little mint

hot chocolate thing. I'm going to sip on

that while I read Striper Pursuit by

John Skinner as part of my New Year's

resolution, not to watch TV so much in

the evening and and go to bed earlier

and wake up more refreshed.
