Looks like dinner has been taken care of!! Nice drawing!
I had both eyes done and , yes, they put you into a groggy state that you won't remember.
I bought a 5 wt rod and reel outfit from Amazon, put 30 lb mono for backing, a 5 wt line (came with the outfit) and caught 3 small bass and 2 bream my first time out! I have no complaints on the fishing rig.
Those critters in "Lake Placid" were crocodiles.
Rod came from somewhere in China with no markings. Thanks for the info.
I'm new to fly fishing and I bought a pole on-line and I don't know what weight line to put on it. Do I just get a 5 or 6 weight line and guess? There are no markings on the pole.
how do you clean the northern pike? I've always hated the y-shaped bones and the strong musky smell.
Hey, Bobber I used to live across the street from a pond of about 4 acres. It had bream of almost a pound and speckled cats (yuck to eat) of about 3 lbs. I baked a couple of the biggest bluegills (wrapped in foil w/butter and parsley) for a romantic dinner with the wife. They tasted of mud and weeds and pond. Needless to say, the "romantic dinner" was a flop.
You can find all kindsa places on the internet on how to tie knots..even knots you will never use!!
I'll eat both, but here in Ga, we don't have many sm. I fish with a fly rod, and generally catch bream (bluegills, etc.) but an occasional bass will tear my yellow popper up.

They are a dinosaur fish, in that it is the last member of its family that has been around for a long, long time. It is called bowfin, lawyer, spottail, Cyprus trout, mudfish (because they have a primitive lung and can live in really muddy ponds). They are good to eat, but ya gotta scale them, cut it into 1 1/2 inch steaks and soak it in warm vinegar water for about 15-20 min. 1 cup of vinegar in a 2 qt saucepan. Dredge it in flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper and brown it on one side. Flip it over and press down on it with yer spatula to squeeze the water outta it and then brown that side. I've eaten a ton of 'em. The fish has a skeleton like a bass.
I used to catch them in Northern Indiana. They're a prehistoric fish and the only member left in their family. They can also berathe air.
"Bream"...it takes 'em all in.
