?A recent survey showed that roughly two-thirds of all fishermen never eat fish. This should surprise nobody. Fish is brain food. People who eat fish have large, well-developed brains. People with large, well-developed brains don?t fish. It is that simple.?

justice league… you need one more word added to your Quote.
Last week I went fly fishing with a guy who told me he loves eating fish. The evening of our trip, as a way of contributing a course to our overall meal, I fried up 14 big bluegill fillets – boneless fillets coated with Louisiana New Orleans style fish fry (lemon added). I anticipated eating no more than four of these fillets; I wanted to let them discover what so many people don’t know: bluegill fillets are delicious!
And what happened? He ate one fillet. His wife ate HALF a fillet. I therefore ate twelve and a half fillets. They said they really liked the taste of bluegill. I said, “Me, too!”
So I guess these two people I dined with both possess large, well-developed brains, right?
RIGHT! 8)

“Better small than not at all.”
That’s funny, Joe. 
Wish I could have been along to help you eat some of those filets.
Joe, I am so sorry that you had to make such a large sacrifice.

Yes, it was a horrible experience; the pain (from not eating all 14 pieces) was indescribable.
The worst thing, though, was that the guy who ate only one fillet just moved here from North Carolina. He has a large, well developed brain but obviously needed gqualls at the table to show him how to use it.
Gqualls? :?
Joe. You could have tried my solution to that problem. I don’t like to keep more fish than I’ll use but I’m still in the habit of keeping enough for three people even though my mother is no longer with us. Last time I cooked bluegills I took the extras to the elderly widow down the street instead of feeding them to the dog or forcing them down. When I got back from hunting that Saturday there was a plate of homemade cookies on the porch from her. With the wages of sin being that good I may have to keep overbagging on the bluegills.
Hi Rick,
That explains what happened to me. I love to eat bluegill, but the way I fish it takes me several trips to catch enough for one dinner. Slow starvation due to lack of brain food.

Bobber,
Re: gqualls: see the post two before mine. (He’s from North Carolina.) Hope that explains.
Sure hope the bluegill fishing hasn’t been hurt in NC due to the drought there.
Rainbow,
Bluegills for homemade cookies is a good trade!
