There's no "Fishing" sub-forum so....
...since this isn't technically "hunting", (But considering that most here are also suckers for water-soaked meat), have to brag over here about the....flounder? I caught last weekend. Maybe a really delicious (Tastes quite different from chicken) 20-pounder:
Not the biggest we've caught, but quite close. Sometimes it pays up skipping the morning surfing!

They called the 60-pounder Dad caught on Cook Inlet a "minnow". That same day two brothers from Utah on the boat with us landed a 225-pounder and a 250-pounder!

Fisherman: A jerk on one end of a line waiting for a jerk on the other end of the line. :tooth:
Crappie are schooling up in preparation for the spawn here. I got my stuff ready, just need to get the motor checked out and I'm gonna wait for that jerk on the other end of the line. Only fish here better to eat than crappie is sauger.
Now THAT'S a catch! Not such beasts around here; mine is among the biggest you might find and probably won't get over 30-ish pounds. Unfortunately due to overfishing (Specially using explosives and trawlers) and massive coastal seaweed illegal extraction for the Chinese cosmetic industry, these beasts are getting scarcer every day; last one this size we caught was like 6 years ago.
Thanks guys; it was really delicious. Too bad I don't have a decent pic of the "rig", so will have to settle that matter this weekend. It's an Outrage 24 Boston Whaler with an inboard Volvo Penta 6-cyl turbo diesel duoprop btw.......
Did ya shoot it first?
There is a fine line between fishing and just sitting there looking stupid............
You qualify for the first, not the latter!
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
I will not be lured into another of these silly games.

Don't be a sinker!
That's reel funny Chris.
I know that you are very knowledgeable about fishing, especially how to bait your line..................You are a true Master Baiter.
It just goes to show, The Penn is mightier than the Sword, Fish. (I hope you don't mind me calling you Fish)
Flat fish are great (soul, flounder, halibut)
STOP!!!!! You're giving me a haddock!!
We call that line monofilament around here....................:roll2:
Sweet fish Antonio! Love me some flounder
Have been in the "wrong" side of the line quite a few times, but for me being a fisherman is like being a gun owner here; you must have a LOT of patience or you'll end up throwing all overboard and just sit down to drink beers.
Fortunately every once in a while the only stupid thing is my happy grin in a picture of me next to a poor dead tasty fish.
We have lots of recipes, probably most from Spanish origins. Mom is a professional chef and my wife only cooks in special occasions (Usually when a gun law favorable to citizens is approved in any place of the world
For this one we cut the raw meat in 1x1" dices and then let it rest in a bath of juice of a local variation of lemon that is small, green and very acid, along with some salt, chopped small pieces of a local orange or red variation of chili pepper and thin strips of onion.
After a few minutes the meat has "cooked" in the acid turning white in the outside but staying pinkish in the inside. This dish is called "ceviche" and from all the variations I've tasted in many S.A. countries (Chile, Ecuador & Mexico; usually common in the Pacific coast), without being a bigot I have to say that ours is the simpler and better tasting of all....pretty much what you'd expect from a Japanese cuisine recipe.
The rest of the meat was cut in fillets, rolled over a little flour and then fried; next to it, some fresh avocado slices with olive oil & salt, and home-made mashed potatoes of assorted variants (We have around 3,000 of the 5,000 all over the world, so lots of options to choose from); simple but delicious. Mom wanted to make a more elaborated dish but we refused, since that would mean eating it sometime next week when she finally decides what to cook.....no ma'am!
Head & bones were boiled to make a light but very tasty broth that also has some fish meat, and thin strips of tomatoes, carrots, onion, sweet peas and a little starch of your choice (Could be rice, chickpeas or potatoes), dressed with a little coriander, a squirt of lemon juice and a little chili pepper. Have a bowl and then find a bed quickly or you'll end up snoring on top of the dog!
Sorry for not posting pics of the dishes, but for some reason I can't stand it...."someone" needs to see a psychiatrist.....
Now I'm hungry!
I know you said that quietly on porpoise knowing I am hard of herring. Or it cuda been a fluke
Are you trying to get him to clam up?
