Fishing

Very cool pics dangledo.
I like your choice of weaponry.

thx kick ass pictures from you as well, GWN. id like to be gigging flounder, or spearing some hogfish about now. soon enough. haha. I have some old custom crappie rods ill have to bust out this year.

I was looking at pics from last year and noticed the date on a 5lb bass I caught...March 10. This frikin storm just moved in and they are calling for 6-10 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow.....there are no words strong enough to describe how much I hate winter.

For all you guys eating crappie...do you soak them in salt water to get rid of the worms?
Do the crappie you eat even have worms?
The crappie here do, little curly worms that live in the flesh so you soak the filets in salt water and it drives the worms out.
I guess you could eat them, the heat from cooking would surely kill the little bastards but...

I only eat them early in the spring, while the water is cold and clear. other than that, I don't eat freshwater fish too much. ive only saw worms come out in a cod fillet on the grill.

love flathead fishing. 50#ers are very few and far between around here. especially since everybody keeps them now.

flatheads used to be the best kept secret around here...not so much anymore

i cringe whenever ever I hear somebody say they like eating flats..
Only catfish I ever keep is the rogue channel that I stumble into ice fishing,nothing over 3-4 lb's..

I don't keep any of em. For me the thrill is in the catch.

it can take twenty years for a flathead to grow that large around here...maybe longer. I advocate turning all the big ones loose.

I bought a pound of shrimp from the Acme the other day.

I spend a lot of time on the river in september catching Chinook salmon..The rest of the year I am catching Crab, or Shrimp, or Tuna.

A few random pics !

I would beer batter those and have a fry

we use to go crabbing in virginia. we'd tie a chicken neck to a string and slowly pull it in. scoop them up in a net, and cook em on the beach, yum!!!

Solid bait? Use big mustaches' ...

Tom Sellek? Are we talking about fishing or fisting?

Just did this last July with the old lady on Chincoteague Island. Cigar, beer, wife, sunset, chicken on a string...paradise.

In the 60's in SoCal we used fish the grunion runs. Its similar to smelt 4-8in, and they came to shore at night to breed on the beach. Not nets or gear, you could have a bucket and a light. You snatched them by hand.

This was a late spring-summer breeding, so there were thousands of kids on the coast, battling millions of little fish, at night having beach fish fries. Add beer, cheap wine and weed..........aaaaahhhhhhhhh it was nice
