Cleaning fish??????

[Bamboozle]

Somehow I new that sooner or later this would go from how do you clean fish to all the none fish eaters and the warnings-- it did. I eat fish,store them in my freezer for the winter and enjoy every bite. I only let the big ones go that wont fit in the flying pan. BILL

And there is absolutley nothing wrong with that in my book. We just have some dangerous fish here is PA. In my case I wouldn't want anybody to eat more than is safe to do.

Enjoy!

William, it makes sense to let big ones go. they really don't taste a good as a pan size.

Most of the time I take the fly out of their lip and toss them in the water to clean them off. Darn things keep swimming off before I can get them in the creel. I'd better find a better way, I guess.

Amen, sister. People give me strange looks when I keep the smaller (younger) fish and toss back the large (older) fish. My father taught me that not from a conservation viewpoint, but from his taste buds viewpoint.

I'll take a stringer of 18" walleye over the 27"+ fish any day.

Oh, y'all don't ever have to worry about me killing or cleaning a trout. My taste buds reject trout & salmon.

Now you're talking. I've never met a walleye (or perch) I didn't like. Trout don't compare in taste to either of these.

Y'all need to come down to Alabama, Big Bluegill & Shellccracker Bream taste better than any trout I ever ate.

Nothing I like better than a couple or three 8 to 10 inch brookies (cleaned) straight from the stream into the frying pan, maybe a little breading, maybe not, and of course butter to fry them in.
Now I made myself hungery, the snow is blowing, and I'm at work!!!
