  1. My friend has always said that having a race team is a great way to make a small fortune ... especially from a large one!๐Ÿคฃ
  2. Of course a bit of catching sure helps as well๐Ÿ˜‰
  3. I do love the CA health warnings on fishing rods that state that one or more components are known carcinogens. So glad for that warning, because I would hate to eat my fishing rods and then get cancer ๐Ÿ˜‚!
  4. predicting that the "disposal of batteries" will be an ecological disaster about 15 to 25 yrs from now. Right now I think that thailand and other countries receive all of this trash.
  5. Crude reality: One U.S. state consumes half the oil from the Amazon rainforest (msn.com) California has some of the toughest environmental laws in the country making it nearly impossible to supply energy within the state. So one would suspect that they are fairly green. Nope! They outsource their energy needs from border states for electricity and seemingly oil from the Amazon.

    What's Cooking?

    Porcini is a delicious mushroom. The powder is the dried mushroom. I use it to add a strong mushroom flavor. Pinot noir is a full body red wine. I added about a cup to get mushroom and beef stock mixture. Parsnips are the white carrots that you may find in your local stores. I cooked them in the chicken stock until they were soft then blended them until creamy. Since they were slightly bitter I added a tablespoon of honey and just a bit of cream to make them a little richer.

    What's Cooking?

    Trying to clean out the freezer. So pulled out a venison shoulder roast from last year's deer. Braised in beef stock, porcini powder, pinot noir, whole crushed garlic, carrots, celery, and onion. Seared the outside of roast at lunch.ivie put it in 325 deg oven around three. Pulled out roast at 6 pm. Really tender. Served with boiled brussel sprouts and a parsnip puree (cooked in chicken stock) with a little honey and a little bit of cream.
  8. Me too ๐Ÿ‘
  9. If I remember right, she shot that deer in Callaway county. We have a few piebalds around here. Saw a nice piebald buck a couple of times and got a chance at him on 10/30. Watched him for 15 mins or more before he gave me a broadside shot and then had a misfire with the crossbow with the arrow landing about 10 ft in front of him. Might have miscocked the string. In Maryland baiting is legal. My daughter was using her phone camera from in the house while I was in the blind out back so not a great photo. We have seen probably 15 or more different bucks this year, but haven't seen this guy again. There's one of my zero hunt stories ๐Ÿ™„
  10. A woman that used to work for me shot an 8 pt doe. They got the surprise when they flipped her over๐Ÿ˜‰. The photos that I hae seen, those does still don't have the big swollen necks like the bucks do.
  11. You know that @snagged in outlet 3 really likes those photos ๐Ÿ˜‰
  12. So back to the stated topic ๐Ÿ˜… Now Canada has a problem. Public plea issued after catch of freakishly large goldfish (msn.com) They should just pay @FishnDave to go ahead and catch those goldies ๐Ÿ‘
  13. Sounds awesome. Congrats on a great day!

    Nets??

    Unfortunately I will miss out. Have someone post a video of the festivities... at least the PG ones ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜…
  16. We did that the only time that we canoed this river. My wife and I had not canoed together for almost two decades. It was October and my daughter was also in the boat. We did well even with white knuckles and high anxiety. Of course our daughter wanted us to do it again ๐Ÿ™„

    Nets??

    I feel that is the key to landing those bigger fish. My net seems to be 12 to 14 inches deep. Nice trout by the way. Neat looking male.
  19. Yes - sort of ๐Ÿ™„. Two issues; we don't have an auger and like in MO many lakes/ponds do not freeze sufficiently hard to actually icefish. Still willing to look into that as an option.
  20. Just to be a troll I might leave some small bait hooks with dough bait or red worm residue ๐Ÿ˜‚. @Jthawks keep posting. Can't wait to see some new water photos.
  21. Boy do I feel like a sucker now! ๐Ÿคฃ
  22. @FishnDaveKilling it on those koi and goldies! I haven't tried the Baltimore ponds yet. I have some leads on a different blenny and banded sunfish to try first. Work kept me from trying yesterday for those guys. Koi may end up next year if the ponds get too cold.
  23. Nice chunky rainbows!

    Keys

    I tend to agree with you Rick. I do think that if you are in the keys and have time that you at least visit Key West just to say that you did.
  25. More corny dad cartoons ๐Ÿ‘
