SPEAKER_05 0:49

All right, so I went fishing at Lake Texumba this weekend. That's going to be coming up in today's episode as well as we fried some up for Mother's Day. Did you have some of that fish?

SPEAKER_06 1:01

No, I did not.

SPEAKER_05 1:02

But we'll talk about what she had. We did have a little Mother's Day cook here, uh, some sirloin steak tonight. Uh we'll see how that turned out. What do you think of that? That was pretty darn good.

SPEAKER_06 1:13

But you know, I like steakety steak.

SPEAKER_05 1:15

She does every episode talk about steak it seems like. So we got that coming up also. Don't uh we'll remind you about our coffee talk live that I do in the mornings. A little bit of uh listener comments as well. We got all that coming up in this great episode right here, the Okie Smoking Podcast.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

Time to fire up that grill. From smoke pork to smash burger, outdoor cooking just tastes better. This is the Okie Smoking Podcast. And here's your host, John Barry.

SPEAKER_05 2:02

But first, let's talk real quick about last week. So if you missed last week's episode, episode 60, uh, you can go ahead and find it on your uh favorite podcast app. We talked about low-fat chicken cooks um and how we went ahead and made the uh chicken so that it's low fat, it's healthy, low uh that's pretty low carb as well, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_06 2:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:27

Yeah, low carb, low fat.

SPEAKER_06 2:28

Yeah, I don't think there was much carbs in that at all.

SPEAKER_05 2:32

Yeah, so it you basically we used uh instead of oil.

SPEAKER_06 2:36

Because I think that dressing was what, like two carbs per tablespoon?

SPEAKER_05 2:41

Just used some Italian dressing, seasoned it up, cooked it on the uh uh what we cooked that on the pit boss or the big green egg. I can't remember.

SPEAKER_06 2:50

I don't know why you cooked that. No, you cooked it on the big green egg.

SPEAKER_05 2:52

Yeah, on the big green egg.

SPEAKER_06 2:54

Because you had to fold the little foil thingies, remember?

SPEAKER_05 2:56

Right. And you know, just healthier barbecue and also had great flavor, great moisture.

SPEAKER_06 3:01

At first I thought he was crazy because he was folding those foil pieces. I was like, why are you doing the pink? You said you'll see, you'll see.

SPEAKER_05 3:10

Had to fold the corners of them in to get it inside that little Minimax big green egg. Also, on our last episode, we had a listener from Oregon ask Dolores, have you ever made homemade pork skins?

SPEAKER_06 3:24

Yeah, and I'm still waiting. So that's something that'll be it was supposed to be this weekend too, but you went on your trip.

SPEAKER_05 3:30

Yeah, I went on a trip. So something we'll be doing here. Well, I said within a month, you know. So give us a little time.

SPEAKER_06 3:36

It's been within a month.

SPEAKER_05 3:37

We're gonna be trying that. But if you wanted to listen to more of that episode 60, check it out on your favorite podcast app, Spotify, Apple, and much more. But let's go ahead and jump into today's episode. Uh, we went ahead and uh, or I went ahead and went on a Lake Texoma fishing trip. Uh, this will be the fourth time that I've done it. We go out there, we get a fishing guide. Um, the fishing guide we use this time, his name was Anthony. Uh we had six of us. You go out there, we get a little place a Friday night, uh, we set up shop there and uh sleep, and we basically can walk straight to the boat dock at 6 a.m. and we go ahead and get back.

SPEAKER_06 4:20

So you guys just walk there?

SPEAKER_05 4:22

Yes. There is that cliffs, huh? Yeah, it's within walking distance. It's just right down the hill. Now they do. We usually have a pickup because we take an ice chest with us, and a pickup goes ahead and rolls that ice chest on down there so you don't have to carry it because it's full of drink.

SPEAKER_06 4:39

Doesn't it have wheels on your ice chest?

SPEAKER_05 4:42

Uh no, the one they take is just a pretty good size ice chest.

SPEAKER_06 4:44

I was like, what?

SPEAKER_05 4:46

But it's still it's it's a distance to carry that. We pretty much take some bottles of water, I think a couple of sodas, things like that on the boat. And it's it's a it's a great time. We go down there, we got there about six o'clock, had to wait on the guide. He got there a little bit later. He's out getting the bait, and uh, you know, they use shad, and we we pretty much go out there and have it have an awesome, awesome time. We ought to do it, you know, one time, it just does as well. Um, I think you would enjoy it. I think you would. I'm not not too sure. Would you go out to the lake for about four or five hours out on a boat?

SPEAKER_06 5:20

Yeah, I mean, I grew up on a boat basically, you remember?

unknown 5:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 5:24

I definitely had a boat. We always went out on it.

SPEAKER_05 5:27

You'd probably have a good time doing it. We did we caught about thirty, thirty-five fish, I think. Um we go out there striper fishing and uh and I'm not afraid of fishies either. Yeah, and we we caught some some some good sized fish. These are some of the biggest uh stripers that I believe we've caught.

SPEAKER_06 5:46

Um I just can't bait it. Ooh.

SPEAKER_05 5:49

Yeah. And see, the guide does all that for you.

SPEAKER_06 5:52

If we had to do worms, ooh. I just I tried, remember?

SPEAKER_05 5:56

It's just the feel of the worm. Ooh. You don't want the slithery sliminess coming up.

SPEAKER_06 6:02

Yeah, it's just like when you poke it, it just fattens, it just grows.

SPEAKER_05 6:05

Just wiggling all up on you.

SPEAKER_06 6:07

Yeah. Yeah. I just can't do that.

SPEAKER_05 6:09

This is done with shad, and and you really don't have to worry about any of that for the guide. And that's pretty cool. You just take your empty hook, you just float it over to him. He goes ahead and baits it for you. You go over there and you go ahead and drop it down. If you've never been fishing uh with a guide, it is a really good experience.

SPEAKER_06 6:27

What do you mean you drop it down, you just you don't cast it?

SPEAKER_05 6:31

No, you don't have to cast it because you're out in the in the lake and you're above where the fish are.

SPEAKER_06 6:39

At least to still cast it.

SPEAKER_05 6:41

Yeah, no, you don't even on a boat. No, you all you have to do here is he will tell you where the fish are. So you may he may tell you to cast it all the way to the bottom until it stops, and then do say two or three turns up, and then that's where the fish will be if they're close to the bottom. There's other times to where they may only be partially down there, and he will tell you you need to go like 17 or 18 uh 18 down. So you take the line and you just go, you you move it one segment, you know, between in between uh the the reels, you just go ahead and move the the deal 17, so you're going 17.

SPEAKER_06 7:26

Damn it.

SPEAKER_05 7:28

So you count one and then you move the line two, three, and you get to like 17 or 18. And then that's where the fish are gonna be to bite. So depending on where the fish are, because they've got the the uh sonar scope or or whatever it's called, and they go ahead and can tell you exactly where the fish are.

SPEAKER_06 7:46

I probably won't catch any fish because I'd be like one, what did I do? Two.

SPEAKER_05 7:52

Yeah, you if you lose counts, you might have to start over. It's easier whenever they're closer to the bottom, you drop it all the way to the bottom, and then you just go ahead and raise it up like two or three, two or three turns.

SPEAKER_06 8:03

So you don't have to you don't have to keep on dropping it in if you didn't want to, until you until he's if he said that it's at the bottom, then you could do the bottom. Or does everybody just drop it in when he says to?

SPEAKER_05 8:17

Well you all want to put the put it in when you stop, because you stop, and you all put your pose in at that point. So depending on on where the fish is. And there was one situation to where he was like, This is it, this is it. Get your pose in, get your pose in. Drop them now, you should get bites instantly. Um and then he said, if you're not getting a bite, your your your bait is either gone or dead. And then I checked mine and I didn't have no bait on mine. So I think I'd gotten a bite because that they'll steal them from time to time.

SPEAKER_07 8:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 8:52

Uh, but that yeah, we we got down there and in that spot when you can when you brought your line down, you got a bite in less than 60 seconds. We had four poles at one time, all with a fish on. There was a time when we he was bringing them in because the guide will have the net and he'll go out there and get the fish, and then he'll bring them in the boat, and there was literally like five of them on the floor of the boat wobbling around while he's sitting there trying to uh get them into the uh on the ice where he's got a a chest in the back that he that he keeps them on.

SPEAKER_06 9:26

So basically you should wear like old clothes, basically, like shoes.

SPEAKER_05 9:32

Well, I mean, I don't know. I mean you want to dress appropriately.

SPEAKER_06 10:10

Have you ever thought about wearing like uh water shoes?

SPEAKER_05 10:15

No, because we're not we're not getting wet. You're getting in the boat. The fish come on the boat, but they're not bringing water in with you. You're still in a dry boat.

SPEAKER_05 11:29

You know, you might want to dress or you know, you I just wore shorts and my regular shoes, but I did like to wear a long sleeve shirt so I didn't get burnt. You want to make sure you have your sunscreen, that's an important thing. Make sure you get on your ears, your neck, your legs, your arms if you have those exposed.

SPEAKER_06 11:47

Yeah, you're lucky me. I packed your stuff.

SPEAKER_05 11:50

Yeah. And nobody else had sunscreen, so I I was able to provide the wife thinks of everything, and you're like they're lucky. Yeah, so but yeah, that time that we hit that spot to where even Howard didn't have sunscreen? No.

SPEAKER_06 12:11

Oh my goodness. You need to tell him that I'm very disappointed in him.

SPEAKER_05 12:18

Oh well, I'll I'll have him listen to this episode again.

SPEAKER_06 12:21

Disappointed.

SPEAKER_05 12:23

Um but uh after we got to that area, it was short-lived. And we caught I I want to say about 18 fish in like 15 minutes. I mean, it was just insane. And then I think we caught like 22 fish probably in 30 minutes, and then it died out, and then we didn't catch a fish for like an hour. Uh, but it was on a Saturday, and it is hard to uh maintain that on a Saturday because there were so many people on the lake.

SPEAKER_06 12:56

So you get to a nice hotend, so I could see that.

SPEAKER_05 13:00

You get to your spot to fish, and then boats would fly by at like 60 miles an hour on both sides. And from what I understand, that disrupts the fish.

SPEAKER_06 13:12

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:12

You know, you have them all under you, they kind of go skedaddle and and it ruins it. Then you gotta see if they'll come back, and you might get one or two that do, but we never got the same um area or the same experience of fish that we did right at that point. And it probably took 45 minutes to an hour to get those that first burst of fish. And I think we may have caught one before then, but it wasn't very many. And these were all decent-sized fish, too. These were some really, really good looking big fish. They were we we've done this four years and had never caught any of the size we were catching right there. And then the rest of the trip we've never caught. Well, we did it. We caught some big ones we had to throw back, actually, because you can only have two over 20 inches per person, and then they have to be under 20 inches. So we actually caught more than that, but we could not keep them and had to actually toss them.

SPEAKER_06 14:13

So does he toss them back for you?

SPEAKER_05 14:15

Yeah, he can or you can.

SPEAKER_06 14:17

Uh I know you have to take off of the hook.

SPEAKER_05 14:20

Yeah, he he he removes them from the hook for you. Uh I mean sometimes You know, sometimes you might want to take a picture with it first or something, give it a kiss, that kind of thing. You know.

SPEAKER_06 14:30

Well, did you kiss it?

SPEAKER_05 14:33

No, but you can. I mean, I should have. You know, you get your little kiss of the fish.

SPEAKER_06 14:36

That's gross. Who kisses a fish?

SPEAKER_05 14:39

Uh but yeah, you can you you can do all that, and then yeah, it it's good stuff. And then after that, we we he moved us around to several different locations, and we would catch a couple of fish here and a couple of fish there, and then we were about to to quit, and we hit one final spot to where Did anybody catch any small ones? Yes. And we did hit one final spot to where we uh uh caught like another six or so, six or eight, and it really kind of brought the totals up a little bit. But you say did anybody catch a small one? So I look like I had the biggest fish. I caught the biggest fish, in my opinion. But there's another one that may have been bigger, but we had to throw it back because we were over the the the inches, we were able to keep mine. Um so his we weren't able to keep, so we couldn't compare. That was his. But I I I think they were real real close. But likewise I caught the smallest fish.

SPEAKER_06 15:37

Well, who was the other big fish?

SPEAKER_05 15:41

Uh David. Yeah. So he had he had another one that was a pretty good size as well. Yeah, so but had a great time out there, did that. We caught all those fish. We got we got those back to shore about.

SPEAKER_06 15:54

Yeah, and then you guys had a fish fry, and you went live on that one.

SPEAKER_05 15:58

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 15:59

So what happened um being live on the boat?

SPEAKER_05 16:01

Okay, so I did try doing a live on the boat and I could not get the live to work.

SPEAKER_06 16:07

Um is it because you're out out though?

SPEAKER_05 16:11

Well.

SPEAKER_06 16:12

Like the internet was kind of thick.

SPEAKER_05 16:13

Yeah, and it out by the by the lake in general didn't have very great because even when I got back to our uh place we were staying, I tried to go live and it quit. Um it wouldn't work.

SPEAKER_06 16:25

So did you try your new stuff that you bought?

SPEAKER_05 16:29

Yeah, I do have a a new setup or a thing you can put around your neck so that you can put the phone on and you can walk around and you can see everything. And my intention was to have that set up so that you could see the pole in front of me while I'm fishing, and you would be able to see when I caught a fish, you'd be able to see me pull it in live. And I could have, but I didn't. I actually just done some recorded ones like that and had some record of it that way, but I didn't. But I couldn't ever get that to work. Um, and then when I got back, after we got back, got back to the room to cook, I couldn't get it to work. So it was that area that was the problem. However, I said we probably have a Wi-Fi where we're staying, and I found the Wi-Fi information, hooked the Wi-Fi up at our mobile home that we had rented as an Airbnb. And then it started I was able to do the live there. So that's how I was able to do the cooking live. If I would have not had the Wi-Fi.

SPEAKER_06 17:27

I know it's crazy. I was like, I wonder if he's live, and I was like, I'm gonna check. And and I was like, hey, he is, he's actually on here.

SPEAKER_05 17:35

It was just a like a win, like right, and and and it turned out great, had a nice little time filming that and all the right the fish looked really good. Yeah, all we did was we went ahead and uh seasoned it up first. We went ahead and removed there's a little blood line that was in there, and we went ahead and used a fillet knife and removed that out of it because that will help reduce the the fishy taste or the the uh taste that may not be as pleasant.

SPEAKER_06 18:07

I do not like fishy taste.

SPEAKER_05 18:09

Yeah, and this didn't have a fishy taste once we did that. After we remove that, I like to soak it in some water and salt and just let that soak up for a bit, and that also brings out some of the blood flavor, some of the fishy flavor or taste. And then after that, we just used some Louisiana seasoning after we uh removed it from the water, left it wet, put that on it, heated up some grease. It looked good, heated up some oil, conola oil, and then just cooked it until they're done. And they turned out crisp, they turned out fantastic. Real good stuff.

SPEAKER_06 18:43

I could tell because you were eating it like crazy.

SPEAKER_05 18:46

Yeah. It was hard to stop eating it.

SPEAKER_06 18:49

Um so did you guys eat it all?

SPEAKER_05 18:52

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 18:53

Wow. Yeah, that was a lot of fish.

SPEAKER_05 18:55

We cooked a pretty good batch and we And then you guys ordered pizza that night? Yes. Um so yeah, we had we had uh several different um uh things. I think someone got a burger and a couple got a pizza, whatever, but yeah, we we did have some uh uh dinner from the restaurant as well. So that's a good time. And then uh, you know, played some poker. I lost uh I I put five bucks in. I lost five bucks in poker. Uh didn't we don't play for heavy money or nothing, but had a pretty good time there. That is the Texoma fishing trip. We'll do it again May of next year, probably.

SPEAKER_06 19:34

Uh it's always during Mother's Day weekend.

SPEAKER_05 19:36

You guys always usually right around there, yeah. So good stuff, good fish, and everybody seemed to really enjoy it.

SPEAKER_06 19:44

And then when you got home, you you did a fish fry for Mother's Day, but it was Tara and Ryan and stuff that came over for to eat that, and I did not eat it because I am trying to stick to my keto. But I offered I am, I am trying to stick to my keto and be good.

SPEAKER_05 20:04

I did offer to look up a way to make you a keto version, but you decided you didn't want to do it.

SPEAKER_06 20:09

Yeah, I just thought so. I wanted a steak, and so I went to Crest, I went to Walmart, I went to Winco, and none of them had steak.

SPEAKER_05 20:20

You got a steak shortage here.

SPEAKER_06 20:22

SPEAKER_05 26:15

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 26:16

And they were like, Yes, but it's fries. Um it indicates And then I remember asking my daddy, why don't they just say fries? It'd be easier.

It is um like uh Didn't Long John Silvers call them fish and chips for a while.

SPEAKER_05 26:39

We'll do some uh TikTok comments today. We usually do YT. Let me go ahead and pull this up here and see what's How do you say YT instead of YouTube? I'm so used to being on um TikTok, and if you you've got to like disguise what you're saying, and I forget, I'm on the podcast, so we don't have to worry about that.

SPEAKER_06 31:36

Like, what is YT?

SPEAKER_05 31:37

Yeah, YouTube. Uh, yeah, you don't we don't have to worry about uh that on the podcast. So let's go ahead and pull up the comments here and see what we got going on. So I was looking and they had a uh so I did a video here on the TikTok. I did some chili, and this was from December the 6th of 2025. But I just got a comment on this video in the last nine hours, which it's it's always cool to see you get a comment on a video that's several months old or even a year old or something, and I always enjoy seeing that. But this was a post that I did. I said, beans belong in chili. Watch the magic beans drop in.

SPEAKER_06 32:24

I still like beans in chili.

SPEAKER_05 32:26

Yep. I put these in there, and this guy, Ma uh Macostanzo, said get the green can. The campfire is the best. So I told him I'll give it a try to find that. I didn't have the green can, so he's talking about uh a different style of uh beans there that he likes in the chili.

SPEAKER_06 32:47

I wish I could eat the the chili with beans in it because ooh, it tastes good.

SPEAKER_05 32:52

Yeah, because with the keto chili, you can't have any beans. Yep, you don't feel the beans in there.

So I showed this coffee going into the uh espresso machine. She said, too much work for a great cup of Joe, and I love my coffee. Now, is there a lot of work in using our espresso machine?

SPEAKER_06 34:22

Not really. Just it just grinds itself and then you put it in and press the button.

SPEAKER_05 34:27

Yeah, it grinds itself. You push a button, you go.

SPEAKER_06 34:30

Maybe maybe she just likes to set it and forget it. You know what I'm talking about? Maybe just like a little cake cake curreg, you know, just you know, the the little You know, I loved I loved my curreg until we went to Mexico and this, oh my gosh. And then John bought it for me, and I was like, oh my gosh. After that, I've I've never went back to the curreg.
