We like to salt and pepper the filet, squeeze just a little lemon juice on the fish then coat with ranch dressing. Bake until the meat flakes.

I like cod. Had a fun three day trip over 30 yrs ago for cod. Went out with the Yankee fleet out of Glouchester MA. It is possible that Dave Marciano from Wicked Tuna was a mate on that boat at that time. I had the big fish pool lead up to the last four hours of fishing with a 22 lb cod. Lost it to a 40 lb hake that wasn't hooked. It ate a 5 lb cod that was hooked. We caught lots of fish. Saw lots of whales. Lost lots of $12 diamond jigs. Saw a couple of guys catch wolf eels. Just a great time. We had lots of baked cod and fish chowda after that trip.

Simple and flavorful. Diced chicken legs browned and cooked in jar of store tikka masala sauce. Served over coconut rice with steamed then seared baby bok choy.

What do you call a pair if crows? Attempted murder😀!

I didn't see the autocorrect version. Kind of funny actually. No I am not a guy that likes being taxed for no reason. We pay more in gas here than Missouri due primarily to the taxes levied on each gallon of gas. In Ireland and UK there were folks that feel that there should be more taxes on gas to dissuade people from buying gas. 20 yrs ago it was close to $4/gal there. So Gov't organizations should be held accountable. But where is the MDC doing less management? Just because you disagree about where the fish are placed, that's too bad for you. I don't see that as less management. The costs (feed, staff salaries, raceway repairs, etc.) to raise bigger fish increase annually yet the trout stamp or the day tags have not increased in decades. We do pay more in gas here and it's because of the taxes tacked onto the gas. The MD DNR does not have a sales tax going to conservation. They rely solely on license fess and Pittman Robertson money. The MDC tax separates that departments ability to buy and manage more public lands. The trout park fees and the trout tags allow for larger fish to be released regardless if that is a white or red ribbon stream or urban pond.

Complain, complain, complain, about the MDC. We pay $10 for the trout stamps here in Maryland and the stocked trout are 6 to 8 inches in length. State doesn't have the money like MO does to hold them until they are 10-12 inches in length, let alone release that many 2 to 3 lb trout. There are no tailwaters like Taneycomo. Lots of creeks with very few and small brown trout, nothing like you can catch from the Current river or pre-flood North Fork. Here in the northeast a 20" trout is equivalent to a 5 to 7 lb bass. Anyway instead of realizing how good you have it compared to other states, just complain away!

I have taken my oldest daughter's BF hunting with me a couple of times. So far he hasn't been successful. Nervous or just watching out that he's not going to have an "accident"

Sounds like a great day Bret! Hey if it doesn't work out between them you still may have a fishing buddy. just saying .

When I see an old fish like that I wonder if lake trout are having recruitment issues in those NH lakes. There may be old ones like that fish but are there any young ones?

Fake news 😀!

Congrats on the night shift fish! Chunky bows are fun to catch. Good luck during the day buddy!

Not much chance of that happening 😂! I kid I kid! Couldn't pass a set up like that one buddy.

I better leave before there is a bolus of high brow cattle jokes that I will have to ruminate on before I find them funny.

Of course you would not have lived as long as you have already. And no replacement parts back then.

My largest rainbow on a fly ate an olive mohair leech. I don't tie them and no longer have any. Caught a lot of trout on it even with poor casting.

@trythisonemv nice smallie! Congrats buddy!

That's a great laugh. Some others that I laugh out loud. When he sticks the scalpel into his thigh. Frau Bluecher heading up the stairs "Stay close to the candles. The staircase can be treacherous." And the candles aren't even lit. The Abby Normal brain discussion is hilarious. Digging up the corpse. What a filthy job. Could be worse. How could it be worse? It could be raining. Then it pours😅! The whole scene with Gene Hackman as the blind hermit is physical comedy gold!

Taffeta darling. Taffeta!

Ok watched one of the original buddy cop movies that doesn't get much attention. Couple of lines from that movie. I figured out this fish. He swims then he jumps. He swims and he jumps. Ooohh Noo! He missed the bible question cuz he didn't know what Deuteronomy was. Mother can I have more petite marshmallows in my hot cocoa!?! One guy! One guy! You're going to give millions of dollars to one guy! Where's his @$$hole partner?!?

MOPanfisher she won't do that since it would be to much trouble to train someone else to fetch her deer😀!

There is a reason that they are called sliders !

Mitch have you ever heard the B side of Seasons in the Sun? Yeah I referenced a 45. If not look up. Terry Jacks Put the Bone In. Leave off the Terry Jacks and no telling what you'll find😌. This guys was a manic depressive for sure.

I thought you were headed towards - They came to the fork in the road and they took it.

I got out early in Jan, then was laid up with a bad cold which took over the rest of Jan and early Feb. The weather had been warm here in MD. So I took my daughter out to a local pond to see if the sunny days warmed up the shallow water and got some fish active. Livie lost two, a small LMB and a decent bluegill. I caught a dozen bluegill with the largest being about 8 to 9 inches. Not bad. Fast forward to this Sat with my daughter and My Betterhalf fishing the same pond. The water was clear enough for us to watch the bluegill inspect, nudge, and ignore our baits. We were using nightcrawlers and got no love. We moved to the big lake and my girls got cold and headed for the vehicle. I fished a few points and got nothing. As I headed back to the car, I stopped at a spot that had a laydown tree. I cast a gold in-line Blue Fox spinner and as it passed between an old stand of vegetation and that laydown, it got pounded by a chain pickerel. I was hoping for a pickerel and this 18 to 20 inch fish fit that bill to get me on the board. This was the last fish that I caught on Sat. So I get out Sunday again looking for the yellow perch run. Lots of guys out first thing in the morning to catch the high tide. spent three hours and I did not see even one fish caught. Headed upstream to the spillway where they stock rainbows. I caught two 7 to 8 inch stockers. I let them go and headed home. Again at least I wasn't skunked !

Last Sat we picked up a fresh baked caraway rye loaf of bread. Thinking reubens, My Betterhalf began the homemade sauerkraut so that It would be ready by this Friday. On Friday we picked up sliced corned beef and aged swiss from the deli. I cooked the corned beef and sauerkraut first. Then assembled and cooked the sandwiches. Golden mustard and Russian dressing were the condiments of choice. Served with baked beans.
