nice fish kiddo. can you say fish fry?? being on the boat looks so relaxing and the rainbow if beautiful.

when I was selling milk to the game farm they went from raising almost 0 baby deer to griping about raising to many of them. they were running out of places to stock them. I went to church with the director of the place and we got to talking about how many fawns they were loosing so I gave them several gallons of goats milk to start with and when they did so well he started paying me for it. back in the '70's $5. a gallon was a lot of money. fed my goat addiction and my AI bills for the goats.

That is nice!
I may be selling some for $4 a gallon which isn't half bad for a starting place for me.

Unfortunately that there is a 4.5# dog fish who we couldn't eat and is illegal to throw back due to its invasive nature. So we couldn't throw it back or eat it. Seems like a waist to me but oh well.

@Hens and Roos we have our third one coming through now.

sam, you could always cook your dog fish like my dad cooked alligator gar. clean the fish, nail it to a clean cedar board and cook over low coals. when done, remove the fish and eat the board. :lol:
chop that fish into about 4 pieces and put it in the garden. plant corn on top of it and there ya go, free fertilizer.

I need to find a picture of our goofy Aussie with ball in her mouth. Looks a lot like your portrait.

You have some beautiful scenery there and that should really stimulate the talent you already have.

When I was younger my cousin and I spent a lot of time on the river catching a lot of what was considered "trash" fish but it never went to waste. Those fish got canned and in the process the bones were rendered soft and harmless. I wish I knew the details about how my aunt did them.

@goatgurl I am absolutely dying laughing at that!

@Mike CHS I had no idea that was ok to do,,! I am sure the others on the lake were wondering what was happening because it out up quite the fight. I was shocked I caught a huge fish on a worm and hook. Husband is walking me through how to slack my line and then we were both like "what is it!" :lol: it's was quite comical.

We are very fortunate the lake is about a mile away and we are blessed to have such a beautiful area.

@Hens and Roos we managed fine. No more hail just rain. :bow hope y'all didn't get too wet.
