SPEAKER_02 0:28

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_00 0:39

No, I did not.

SPEAKER_02 0:40

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_00 0:52

But you know, I like steakety steak.

SPEAKER_02 0:54

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_03 1:17

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_02 1:40

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_00 2:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

Yeah, low carb, low fat.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

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

SPEAKER_02 2:10

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

SPEAKER_00 2:15

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

SPEAKER_02 2:20

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_00 2:28

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

SPEAKER_02 2:31

Yeah, on the big green egg.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

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

SPEAKER_02 2:35

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

SPEAKER_00 2:40

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

SPEAKER_02 2:49

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_00 3:03

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_02 3:09

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_00 3:14

It's been within a month.

SPEAKER_02 3:16

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 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_00 3:59

So you guys just walk there?

SPEAKER_02 4:01

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_00 4:18

Doesn't it have wheels on your ice chest?

SPEAKER_02 4:20

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

SPEAKER_00 4:23

I was like, what?

SPEAKER_02 4:24

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_00 4:59

Yeah, I mean I grew up on a boat basically, remember? Yes, I definitely had a boat, we always went out on it.

SPEAKER_02 5:06

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_00 5:25

Um I just can't bait it. Ooh.

SPEAKER_02 5:28

Yeah. See, the guide does all that for you.

SPEAKER_00 5:31

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

SPEAKER_02 5:35

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

SPEAKER_00 5:40

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

SPEAKER_02 5:44

Just wiggling all up on you.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

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

SPEAKER_02 5:48

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_00 6:06

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

SPEAKER_02 6:10

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_00 6:17

At least to still cast it.

SPEAKER_02 6:20

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_00 7:04

Damn it.

SPEAKER_02 7:06

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_00 7:25

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

SPEAKER_02 7:30

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_00 7:42

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_02 7:56

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'd 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_01 8:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:30

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_00 9:33

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

SPEAKER_02 9:38

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

SPEAKER_00 9:41

Have you ever thought about wearing like uh water shoes?

SPEAKER_02 9:46

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. Yeah, but you're stepping on the Well, I mean, you 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 uh 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_00 10:18

And yeah, you're lucky me, I packed your stuff.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

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_00 10:42

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

SPEAKER_02 10:48

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

SPEAKER_00 10:52

Disappointed.

SPEAKER_02 10:54

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_00 11:27

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

SPEAKER_02 11:31

You get to your spot to fish, and then boats would fly by at like sixty miles an hour on both sides. And from what I understand, that disrupts the fish. Well yeah, 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 uh 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_00 12:44

So does he toss them back for you?

SPEAKER_02 12:46

Yeah, he can or you can.

SPEAKER_00 12:49

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

SPEAKER_02 12:51

Yeah, he he he removes them from the hook for you. Uh 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_00 13:01

Well, did you kiss it?

SPEAKER_02 13:04

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

SPEAKER_00 13:07

That's gross. Who kisses a fish?

SPEAKER_02 13:09

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 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 they were real, real close. But likewise I caught the smallest fish.

SPEAKER_00 14:08

Well, who was the the other big fish?

SPEAKER_02 14:12

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_00 14:25

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

SPEAKER_02 14:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

So what happened um being live on the boat?

SPEAKER_02 14:32

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

SPEAKER_00 14:38

Um Is it because you're out out that way? Well, like the internet was kind of thick.

SPEAKER_02 14:44

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

SPEAKER_00 14:56

Did you try your new stuff that you bought?

SPEAKER_02 15:00

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_00 15:58

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_02 16:06

It was just a like a win, like right, and and and it turned out great, had a nice little time r uh filming that. And all the time. Right.

SPEAKER_00 16:16

The fish looked really good.

SPEAKER_02 16:17

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_00 16:38

I mean, not like fishy taste.

SPEAKER_02 16:40

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 use 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, pinola oil, and then just cooked it until they're done. And they turned out crisp, they turned out fantastic. Real good stuff.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

I could tell because you were eating it like crazy.

SPEAKER_02 17:17

Yeah. It was hard to stop eating it.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

Um So did you guys eat it all?

SPEAKER_02 17:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 17:24

Wow, yeah, that was a lot of fish. We cooked a pretty good batch and we And then you guys ordered pizza that night?

SPEAKER_02 17:30

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 or whatever, but yeah, we we did have some uh uh dinner from the restaurant as well. So it'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_00 18:04

Uh it's always during Mother's Day weekend. You guys always have a lot of people.

SPEAKER_02 18:08

It's usually right around there, yeah. So good stuff, good fish, and everybody seemed to really enjoy it.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

And then when you got home, you you did a fish fry for Mother's Day, but it's 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_02 18:35

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

SPEAKER_00 18:40

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_02 18:51

You had a steak shortage here.

SPEAKER_00 18:53

It was like all gone, so everybody was kicking their mama some steak.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

But you come up with the second best thing, or really, really as close to shrimp.

SPEAKER_00 19:05

I did. And uh you made me the s uh slap yell mama, right?

SPEAKER_02 19:10

Yep, I put some slap y'all mama seasoning in there.

SPEAKER_00 19:13

SPEAKER_02 19:23

So you had oh, so you eat.

SPEAKER_00 19:24

I have like for lunch I made, yeah. So I got to eat that and then today he actually bought steak and I got to eat a steak. I ate two pieces of steak.

SPEAKER_02 19:38

Yep. So we had we had that as well.

SPEAKER_00 19:40

And that was really good. Whatever like that steak was, it was like tender.

SPEAKER_02 19:48

Yeah, yeah. No, it it wasn't rough, like um, I was able to eat it and my teeth aren't the best, so sometimes I have trouble uh eating eating certain things. Uh this turned out tender. Uh what I did with this, this was just some sirloin, and I just went ahead and seasoned it up with some SPG seasoning. I put a layer of that on there from Sucklebusters. Um, I then put some of the uh jalapeno garlic.

SPEAKER_00 20:13

Oh my god, I love that stuff. You're gonna have to order some more.

SPEAKER_02 20:16

From Grand Oaks, jalapeno garlic seasoning. Uh, added a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

Nothing is going down, down.

SPEAKER_02 20:22

Yeah, it's slowly going down. We have that with popcorn and table salt and everything else.

SPEAKER_00 20:27

And when you were gone uh Saturday, I think it was for my dinner Saturday. I just ate popcorn.

SPEAKER_02 20:36

Popcorn for dinner?

SPEAKER_00 20:37

I did. I made it with the with the stuff. Yeah, I didn't gain no weight.

SPEAKER_02 20:42

Well, there you go. Your little popcorn dinner. That's quite alright.

SPEAKER_00 20:46

It is with that seasoning. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 20:49

Yeah, that that seasoning is.

SPEAKER_00 20:50

I cannot resist popcorn lately, you guys. It's been so good.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

Yep. And I I just left those sirloins because um I was I went ahead and also cooked some potatoes. I put a couple of potatoes on the pit bus. And I had it going at about 350 to 400 degrees.

SPEAKER_00 21:09

They look soft.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

For about 45 minutes. Yeah, they were. They turned out excellent and they were soft. And cooked.

SPEAKER_00 21:15

Oh, you didn't have to cook it a lot long then, huh?

SPEAKER_02 21:17

No, those were smaller.

SPEAKER_00 21:19

Those were not full-size baked potatoes, so Well, how come you didn't buy the the rustic big potatoes?

SPEAKER_02 21:27

Well I got those for fries more than anything.

SPEAKER_00 21:29

Well, even those, like for fries, is he just has to use one. One of those big ones.

SPEAKER_02 21:35

Yeah, but that was just in a bag, you know.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

Yeah, those are in bags too, babe.

SPEAKER_02 21:41

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00 21:42

The ones that I buy, the big Yeah, I I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 21:46

SPEAKER_00 21:50

The little Walmart has them.

SPEAKER_02 21:53

Yeah. Well, that's where I was at. I d I'm not sure. But uh I mean they turned out good. I mean they they they cooked up quick though because they were smaller.

SPEAKER_00 22:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:02

Um and then just went ahead and seared the steaks for about three to three, three, three minutes per side, I'd say. Three to four minutes per side. They had a nice little medium rare in the center.

SPEAKER_00 22:13

Do it have the lines on it.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

Yes. And uh had a nice little pink in the center.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

Yeah, that was good.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Had good flavor, were juicy.

SPEAKER_00 22:21

Right.

SPEAKER_02 22:22

Yeah, those were really good. Those sirloins were 17 bucks for four compared to crazy how much steaks. Like the ribey's were thirty bucks for one.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Like, why are they so high lately?

SPEAKER_02 22:32

Yeah, beef is up there. Beef is up there. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 22:35

That's like my favorite.

SPEAKER_02 22:37

Chicken and um and you have to start eating fish. Chicken and fish.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

No, I love steak.

SPEAKER_02 22:43

Um they do have that uh, you know, ground beef's gone up too, but they do have that ground beef and pork.

SPEAKER_00 22:50

They'd go to like Sam's Club or like even Costco, see how much their steaks are.

SPEAKER_02 22:57

Yeah, it's it's good it's gonna be up to separate it. It is going to be up there. Uh but yeah, so that's what we did. We had our steak tonight, we had our fish, a couple of really, really good cooks. Um but man, that fish was was was quite incredible. Oh yesterday we uh we did some hush puppies as well.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

Oh yeah, you guys did do hush puppies and fries.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

Hush puppies, fries, fish, fish and chips, you know.

SPEAKER_00 23:22

I forgot that you guys did the fish and chips. But you didn't do the tartar sauces.

SPEAKER_02 23:27

If we were in the uh UK it'd be called fish and chips.

SPEAKER_00 23:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 23:30

But uh yeah, I mean you still call it that here. I like I like that fish and chips, you know.

SPEAKER_00 23:35

It's weird whenever I was younger and they would say you want some fish and chips, I'd be like, Why would I want chips? I want fries.

SPEAKER_02 23:41

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

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

SPEAKER_02 23:56

Yes, that would be easier.

SPEAKER_00 23:59

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

SPEAKER_02 24:05

Uh they might have. There are some places. And then they changed it. There are some places that on the menu would say fish and chips when you get the prize, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

I wish I remembered where we went and what we and I had the fish and chips and oh my god. It was really good.

SPEAKER_02 24:20

Yeah, it could have been Captain D's, too.

SPEAKER_00 24:23

Oh, I forgot about that place.

SPEAKER_02 24:25

Captain D's, possibly. That was real good.

SPEAKER_00 24:27

I haven't been there in ages. Do they even have a Captain D's anymore?

SPEAKER_02 24:30

Yeah, I I don't know of one anywhere. I know they're they're bringing back along John Silvers again. They they built a brand new one just down the street.

SPEAKER_00 24:37

Well, yeah, that one's been there though, babe. You didn't know that? After they that one off of Douglas is so gross, you guys. It's it's ca it has A and W with it.

SPEAKER_02 24:49

SPEAKER_00 25:02

We used to eat that a lot when we're dating, remember?

SPEAKER_02 25:05

Oh yeah. I always like Long Johns.

SPEAKER_00 25:07

We used to go on our dates eight Long John silveries. And then when they put it with A and W, it's just it just was not the same.

Did you know? Because you know I don't ever drink black coffee. And I drank it the other day and it tasted really good with that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:28

Did you did you run it, you just ran it through like a uh like an Americano kind of like I did? Yeah. You just put a shot of espresso and then filled it with the hot water. Yeah.

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.
