I hope that happens here some day! I didn’t buy the stamp this year for the first time in my life. I can still fish for wild trout in the smokies without it. And stockers just make me mad anyway

I still have 2-3 I visit

When there’s nothing to snag on

All the time

I’ve got a big chunk of elk I need to eat . Mmmm

I do a lot of both. A wok is also excellent

Don’t overthink it, shake then fry. Don’t bother with pat dry, the sack of meal will take care of that. Just drain the bag of fish and fill it with meal. I don’t like that thick wet batter like you get from Long John silvers anyway I have used beer batter for chicken tenders and it was awesome. Fish just get the dry shake

I also forgot about this meanmouth (smallie x spot hybrid). What’s our limit on number of submissions ol’crickety? Disqualified. Reason: fish too large

Most of the time I just pour yellow corn meal into a ziplock, throw the fish in with it, zip the bag very tightly , and shake it . I also use pre made fish fry breading like house autry or zatarains

Nice fish! Great egret is the bird

It also happened to be the biggest of 2022 but the year is still young. It was hard to measure but inbetween 21 and 22” February 12, 2022

Ummmm, he’s from Massachusetts……….. it’s standard issue for his make and model

That’s him!!! Hawking everything is the unfortunate side effect. He couldn’t afford to bring you videos without doing that

Aw come on now. I can’t even crack an egg but I can fry a fish and a yard bird

If I didn’t go on a stupid vacation 5 times a year I would be not only divorced but probably excommunicated from my entire family hahah i look forward to the day when I won’t have to travel anywhere, unfortunately i don’t think it will be while I’m alive

My moms basement is like that. What a waste of money and space! Hahaha. I despise it all! (Mainly because I’m the one that has to drag it all out, then out it all back up) I lived in a hole in a tree for 5 years, decorating is lost on me

The greatest use I’ve ever heard for a stocked trout

I think I could technically be considered a fisheries biologist. A lot of the info you seek is unfortunately BS haha, which is probably why you find it vague at best

Junk!

Cake eater

Nah they are easy, cast all day and never be bothered by fish

I ❤️ whitewater. Before TVA it was all whitewater in my region

Come down south on a vacation! September is 20” smallmouth season year after year

Aren’t they awesome? I got a hit of them in my veins over the weekend , I’m a hopeless addicted junkie and I want more
