@Devan S. great posts! Congrats on overcoming the not so successful trips and sticking it out to get those streambred trout! If it were really easy more folks would get it done. You got the hard ones out of the way for sure. A couple of well timed floats (water depending) and you should have your slam! Good luck!

Congrats to you both. Glad that I was able to help. Any photos? Let us know how you guys do on the rest of the slam!

We tried adding cinnamon into batter. Kind of flattened the pancake. Did not work so well. Tasted great though 😉.

Saw this list this morning. Log this under "we should have thought this through before acting" category:

This CHAZ situation is both humorous and dangerous. I only know what has been presented by the media so I will plead ignorance if I am stating mistruths. The humor is that these folks lack resources like food and are calling on those people that they have separated from to supply their needs. They seem to lack some understanding on how an autonomous nation would need in order to survive like food, power, water for example. They seem to be calling for Seattle to disband the police force and court systems while they have an armed force of "police" protecting their borders. The mayor looks at this as a "festival" and no harm is being done.. Except that they have taken over other peoples property and are taking power and water from those people that pay for those utilities.. Biggest concern to me is precedent with other groups may be looking to do the same elsewhere.

Great use of the cast iron. We really like making this.

Crab and brie omelets this morning😁

Nice fish especially that billhead! Over the last six months I have been cleaning up my fish lists and researching to have accurate accounts of species. Based upon location where I caught them and distribution maps,, the fish that I had down as black bullhead were likely brown bullhead. I dropped black bullhead from my list. So now they are a target species 🙄.

I counted lateral line scales and there were 27. Looks like what I could find as Prussian carp. Would have liked to have seen those fins on your fish. So I'm hesitant to go all in on the P carp I'd. I did find that they have color variants that look like goldfish. It may be possible that all the ones you caught were prussian carp. I n my quick search I could not compare to large goldfish photos.

Congrats to Blake on catching and landing that toad! Was worried about all the jumps. But it was pinned well🙂. You know it's a big fish when it sounds like a brick hitting the water as it lands. Congrats again. Thanks @Phil Lilley for posting the shorter version.

Very nice fish. Now we all know that Ned rigs don't catch fish, right😉!

That's an awesome walleye and getting it through the ice on ice fishing tackle is incredible. Congrats!

Nice mount of that walleye!

RPS the wings look great.. What did you use to marinate the wings? Then did you bake them or cook on the grill?

Shrimp stir fry. Bob choy, maitake mushrooms, broccoli, and snap peas.

Isn't congress the opposite of Progress ?

That is an absolute toad! Might be one of those white bass hidden inside of that sow! Congrats! Would have won the one bass competition without having us blow up the photos to see if three more fin rays were over the half inch mark .

Congrats again on some nice Crappie and the beard is coming back in nicely.

Who knows about the issues that resulted in this flag being flown over Key West?

Rick sounds like a cottage industry opportunity for you !

Looking at how fast the House came out with a police reform bill has got me wondering.. Hmm….

Very Nice. I just hope that you are wearing pants .

It's political slavery; all for votes and power.

Sounds like a great technique. Congrats on a mess of crappie! Great that you were able to take your dad fishing. As you can see by the other comments, many of us including myself no longer have that opportunity and miss it dearly. Cherish those time with family!

Looks like I am not throwing the right baits for catching small shad ! I have to stop using #26 hooks for these guys.
