Miss Becca there you go nice to meet you I'm Stafford nice to meet you better than I deserve give me the tour babe all right so this whole facility is three floating houseboats all connected together and it's awesome look at that air conditioning feels so good yeah it is a nice little bunk bed here.

This right here is the houseboat where we come and eat and it's kind of the common area is where Stafford and the guides live whole camp set up right here in the bayou look at that I brought you some fishing rods man that was the last one oh it's been great let's do the same series I run I run up.

In Virginia I got two spinning and two big casters you want to do some fishing yeah okay all right I think I saw some rods over there by the guest cabinets let's see oh yeah this looks good this looks promising and it's rigged up wait the blue one that little bottom rig with a piece of shrimp all metal.

One of the things we just love about coming here is you can just do whatever you want and really play it by ear so we're just gonna throw some fishing rods out and see if we can't catch some fish from the dock and then we're gonna go throw out some jug lines fish for gar 30 degree weather yeah I bet come let's take a seed look at this we got a nice.

Umbrella in the shade we've got fishing rods got snacks this is nice oh you know we got the mandas on your head there you go I got them off I'll put in me just don't be nice to him okay didn't mean to reel up these fishing rods okay let's read up reel up the rods to.

Get the boat in this trip just got you know Becca this is my favorite part just driving around guys wonderful alligator over there oh that was a big one saw some really big Asian carp jumping.

Out of the water that big alligator right there there he goes all right guys we're gonna throw out some jug lines for alligator gar alligator gar or a massive prehistoric fish they can get up to nine feet long pull the tail lamp just like that boom let's take it right here no we don't want to do all right that's what.

We caught that big one last week 130 pounds seven foot almost seven foot one go ahead drop that good job that's why we call it jug lining you attach your fishing line to a big visible jug let it sit for several hours you come back find your jug and hopefully there's a fish attached.

Throw it out throw it out babe there you go there you go I hit Fortress oh my God big old Asian carp jumped in and hit the wall right here right behind Dylan tried to kill him so I did those are Asian carp they were imported to help at sewer treatment.

Plants and when the Mississippi flooded they escaped now up and down the Mississippi there's tons of them oh that's why we got these Gates on the boat to protect people we're gonna go check a crab pot yeah we're just gonna pass by today we're gonna run them tomorrow me.

Me oh you grab that line too everyone grab the line everyone grab the Rope so anywhere you can I think it's the fastest let's see what we got oh look they didn't they didn't took most of that bait they just throw back in yeah hungry our crab pots are getting cleaned.

Out I think we need to go get some more bait all right I think we're gonna go throw the cast net and try to catch some bait this is what me and Becca call a pro level move uh we slipped over to Stafford's boat and left all the kids with Dylan we don't need bait let's just go uh let's go hit a restaurant or.

Something oh yeah oh by now oh yeah oh look at this oh we have something yeah zero heads up  the best but there goes a big club right there yeah I think so yeah that's a mullet or.

No garbage yeah you got a car you chopped down on it no he just all up here these are the ones that hurt let me get you here little baby spotted guy right there look at that there's a little tiny guy hey look at that look at teeth on nails so imagine this guy right here some Polo 130 pounds.

Look at that is that cool yeah oh look at this we got two Buffalo and a catfish we're not supposed to catch those with cast Nets there you go this this right here is a smallmouth Buffalo native species related to a sucker fish but we'll keep them for bait right.

Oh yeah I got him guess what I've ever thought that's huge so this is an Asian big head carp these are the fish that were jumping and smirking the boat they're a big Plankton feeder they don't have any teeth they swim around scoop it up a little microscopic insects and eating them they don't have any natural Predators here so.

They're just absolutely going crazy in the ecosystem and pretty much anytime you can kill them they tell people tell you to kill one look at that guys what do you think of that caught them in the cast yet oh he pooped on me oh I'm a dad of three boys hey my first rodeo getting pooped on well that was fun but we got a gill net.

Soaking over here we're gonna pull that up see what's in it let go of the net let go of the net you want me to just grab the stick yeah you got one oh Asian carp jumped in the boat with him with a fish the size of a salmon volunteers go home with you that's pretty cool.

Look at that there's one down in there mine that's mine Jake I think you might end up catching the most fish today three fish four oh look at that these are fat gizzard shed now these are gizzard Chad and they're a bait fish not that good to eat though I.

Did try it one time look at that that right there is a big gizzard shad es Dylan and the boys are working the other end of the net oh those are monsters size of that thing they've ever seen one that big in Virginia watch out we're gonna Ram oh don't throw.

Ground until that frog jumps to the back end when he jumps to the back end you pull the string and you bring them on back to Becca are you ready to catch and eat some bullfrogs yeah I'm ready so the water level's a little wonky and it's going to make things a bit tricky but what we're gonna.

Do is drive around and use our headlamps to try to look for frog eyes glowing in the dark and once we see a pair of frog guys we're gonna try to get the boat up close and catch them even with her hands or with a long net on a pole these are the headlamps we use and they're really bright when you shine them on the frogs you see their eyes glow in the dark frog.

Eyes glow whitish blue alligator eyes are kind of orangish red spider eyes are blue but they kind of Twinkle and they're smaller oh yes that's right I said spider eyes the spiders here are so big that you can see their eyes glowing in the dark oh there's one right there all you can see is legs he's a big boy look there is an enormous spider on that.

Cypress knee I could see his eyes from like 100 feet away yeah look at the size of that guy Folk  I can put him in the palm of my hand and his legs would stick out Riders out here as they can run across the top of the water and they bounce.
