This was filmed Dec. 9 -10, 2016. I want so badly to satisfy your love of fishing, that I’ll try just about anything to bring you angling action. But sometimes the climate and the elements are just too brutal to allow it. Come join me aboard the ice breaker, SS Juanelo, and in the kitchen.

Cooking bacon. From http://baconmethod.com. Here's how:
1) Line a pan with the bacon. You can use a glass baking pan, a steel or aluminum baking sheet, or even a cast iron pan.
2) Put the pan into a cold, unheated oven on the middle rack.
3) Set the oven to bake at 400°F (204°C).
4) Set the timer for 20 minutes. It may take a bit more or less time, depending on your oven. Mine was perfect after 24 minutes.
5) Remove the pan from the oven. Place the bacon on a plate (or a plate lined with a paper towel if you’re grease averse).
6) Enjoy the best, crispiest, most delicious bacon you’ve ever had.
Tips: You don’t need to cover the pan, it won’t mess up your oven. Line the pan with aluminum foil or Silpat for easier cleanup. Don’t use a baking rack to "keep the bacon out of the grease."
BLT (with Cheese and Onion) Wraps Recipe:
This recipe was inspired by the one found here: allrecipes.com/recipe/31845/blt-wraps
INGREDIENTS
1 pound bacon (cooked crispy)
Four 9 to 10 inch flour tortillas (I used low-carb tortillas)
2 or 3 slices of sharp cheddar cheese per tortilla
4 ounces of onion slices (optional)
⅓ bag of Italian salad greens
12 grape tomatoes, sliced into fourths
3 to 4 heaping teaspoons of mayonnaise per tortilla
DIRECTIONS:
Cook bacon per instructions above.
Drain, and set aside.
Lay down 2 or 3 slices of cheese on each tortilla.
Place 1 tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.
Cook in microwave just over one minute, or until cheese is melted.
Immediately top with ¼ of the bacon, onion, lettuce, tomato and mayo.
Roll tortilla up (I was unable to roll them burrito style but it didn’t matter)
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Cut each wrap in half, on a 45° angle, before serving.
THE BOAT: is a Bass Hunter that I ordered from Bass Pro Shops about 12 years ago. They no longer sell it. Also, the Bass Hunter company seems to be out of business. Boats like it are still sold under the name Sun Dolphin. Do a Google search for “two man fishing boats.”
THE BAIT: live mealworms threaded on a 1/16 ounce Gopher Mushroom Head jig.
THE SPINNING REEL: is a 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 spinning reel line is SpiderWire, Ultracast, Invisi-Braid in 10 pound test, 2 pound monofilament equivalent.
THE SPINNING REEL LINE: is 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.
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 larges crappie was 14¾ inches and weighed 2 LBS and 1 oz. I did not measure the largest bluegill, but it had to be at least 10 inches. Finally, my largest bass was 6¾ pounds caught here at Lake Ketchabigwon.
VIDEOGRAPHY: The principal camera is my iPhone 6s Plus on a tripod. I also use an iPhone 5s 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 my MacBook Pro using Final Cut Pro X.
