Man I just can't do high heat any more, I sweat too much. Besides when fishing ceases being fun I quit fishing.

Well ya got it all.mixed up, what else you gonna do with it? Was way over kill, in 10 seconds the answer was provided, maybe a pint jar worth.

Absolutely awesome, my trip plan fell through so I am living vicariously through you.

Carp is the preferred substitute for smallmouth when cooking. Gar or trout are a distant second.

Now if someone catches or shoots a bull shark in Bull Shoals, I am gonna be seriously confused.

Mmmm, I had a huge tall grass burger and sweet potato.fries, and a couple of specialty brews at The Taproom, In Manhattan ks.

Little Rock District is the only one I am aware of with that particular policy.

Green sunfish (black perch) are delicious. That one is a whopper.

Note to self, hanging out with OLD guys is depressing.

That one is way the heck down at Eagle Rock if I remember right. We have lakes right up here.

I have seen lots of common carp going "up ditch" into ponds after prolonged rain periods, used to keep a heavy casting rod rigged with a big treble to snag them with, gigged, dip netted, possibly even shot a few when younger. Always said carp could move up a field drainage in a heavy dew.

Well heck, I will bring a cooler full of stuff off the smoker as long as it's all Al fun tournament. Plenty of shelters around the lake to use. Heck we could do a twofer, a smoker challenge and a fishing challenge, I suck at both, so no worries on my end. Smoked whatever, a big pot of smoked beans, maybe some of chiefs smoked mac and cheese. Speaking of chief is he is jail somewhere, haven't seen/heard anything from him for a while.

Apparently they swim?

Since that is my backnyard almost i would volunteerti be a judge. Judges don't have to stay 100% sober do they?

As long as you don't start wearing flat billed caps I wouldn't harass you too badly.

You are killing me!

Around here we spray to keep the KU away, if someone contracts it they get a shot of LA400. If one of your kids gets it you have to act fast or they will be wearing skinny jeans or plaid shorts before you know it.

Nothing fancy tonight, plain old country goodness. Zuchini did their normal we are all ready to pick thing, so my wife picked I think a dozen this morning. Side note if you live close to me, lock your car doors or risk finding some in your passenget seat. Split 2 of them lengthwise and hollowed them out, then peeled all but one because my wife likes the skin on them. Painted the with garlic and butter and put on the grill with open side down, marked them up nice and about half cooked. Turned them over, painted them again, and began to layer in provolone cheese, chopped bacon, chopped turkey and more provolone. Closed the lid for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Mmmmmmm good, didnt last long enough to take a photo.

Them are delicious size though.

Only have one dog bowl, and the yard thing has it emptied within 30 seconds of putting food in it.

LOL, brings back some hazy memories for sure.

Years ago I used to buy the cheap frozen pizza for like 99 cents, a roll of sumer sausage, some black olives and cheese. Made some pretty dang good pizzas that way. Well at least I thought so, washed them down with Milwaukees Best Light Beer.

If they had just used roetenon on the fish they could have said they were unsafe to eat and buried them, then planted a food plot on top. Poof, win win. Honestly I don't have a problem with them offering a short window to salvage the fish or simply burying them either one.

Well for no good reason I decided to go all "hoity toity" tonight. Wife had found some small tuna steaks, sometimes you don't ask where when you live in a small town in missouri, and had also been to Gordons Orchard and brought back some peaches, blue berries and blackberries. Unable steaks went onto the grill to sear but not over cook, then for my amusement I split a couple peaches and put them on the grill also. While things were happening there I decided to up the ante. Into a tiny little skillet went a large amount of butter, some capers, dill, lemon and garlic, let it all brown up and darn it smells good. Also mashed up a handfull of blue berries added a small amount of coca cola and some Chicago old town spiced sugar. Spooned than into the center of the grilled peaches. Stood back and watched the feeding frenzy. I should add that my wife did contribute by opening a bag of salad and reheating a few slices of grilled zuchini from last night. And for clarity I must admit that there was a cooking show on TV making some odd items. It was poor planning on my part that I don't have any major items I want to buy to spring on wifey at this point.
