I just retired this year and living in a small town in NC. Catching fish is nice but the journey to that should be be just as memorable. I have fished my entire life when I had the time and each trip to the water was justified either by catching fish or the time fishing without catching. It's good with two or more buddies or by yourself, which will give you time to reflect on what is really important in your life. Fishing and reflecting on Jesus makes life abundant. Tight lines.

Really not much you can do with a gut hooked fish other than dispatch it quickly and remove the hook. Either you eat it or give to wildlife to eat.

Hi Carl. Mullet, as far as I know are filter feeders in that they don't go after baited hooks or lures. You have to use a throw net to catch them, as least that's what we do in North Carolina. Your mullet might be a different type of fish which might be called a mullet by fisherman. If they catch it using hook and line, then it's not a true mullet. Mullet make a fine bait, don't know about eating them though, never tried it. Anyway tight lines my friend from a 75 year old, retired and loving it.

First off, God gave us dominion over anything that swims, walks on land, or flys in the air. With that in mind do not kill for fun or sport. With fish you hit them on the head with a club then cut the gills to bleed out. They feel no pain and put them on ice.Take only as many as you need to feed your family.

I always fill my stomach with food before a tuna trip and keep it busy by snacking. Make sure you have a crotch pole butt holder with a back harness that clips to your reel which should be lined with 50 pound mono. Tuna are all muscle and if you get a big angry one he will take you behind the woodshed. Tight lines and have fun.
