    What's Cooking?

    Looks like a great recipe. Spatchcocked chicken and turkey is a great way to cook the entire bird quickly and to the same level of doneness (i.e., don't dry out the breast meat while cooking the thighs). I have been doing thanksgiving turkey like that ever since reading @rps post somewhere around page 350 or 400 in this thread.

    Jeremy Wade did a River Monsters show about a Pacu attack. Seemed like the bigger ones can get a bit aggressive.

    David - I also love Man's Favorite Sport! It is hilarious when they discuss the proper etiquette of fishing tournaments when you look at what fishing tournaments are like now. Don't know how many anglers today would disqualify themselves due to a bear helping them catch a fish!

    Daryk don't be timid as you set the hook. You don't want your name to become a verb. Livie likes to say that I "Johned" a fish if the fish flies behind me as I set the hook too hard😌. I did that with a slender madtom this evening. It came off as I swung my rod over the bank behind me.

    That's a fat western mosquitofish. Very nice! Congrats to Lucas for persisting and catching a nice micro! Even as small as these fish are you can't be timid in setting the hook! Much of the time the fish is just holding the bait in its mouth and the hook point doesn't even penetrate. So they simply open their mouth and drop off 😒!

    I agree with the others that the thighs have the best flavor. Love wings as well, but they don't lend themselves to making a variety of meals like the thighs do. To me the breast can be dry and needs coaxing with marinades or spices to get good flavor into the meat.

    That is a great shiras bull. Thanks for posting! Saw moose when I was in Wyoming.

    I was not a third since I have a diffferent middle name than my father and grandfather. At those gatherings there was Bud (grandfather), Jackie (my dad) and Johnny (myself). My oldest daughter Jackie is actually named after my father. Sorry about your son.

    That's a big LMB more so from that pond! I don't have enough experience to guess if it went over 5 lbs. I'll leave that to the bass guys like @Quillback or @Champ188. Must have a been great fight on that UL. Congrats!

    If we both end uo at Jigfest, I would love to talk about your trip😁.
  12. Johnsfolly
    I've seen him use drum and buffalo for bait. I'd be excited just to catch the bait😁.
  13. Johnsfolly
    Didn't know if you fished for other fish while you were waiting for the big bites.
  14. Johnsfolly
    Great pics! Thats just plain exciting. Congrats again!
  15. Johnsfolly
    That is awesome. I have watched Doug and others fish with Kirk for those gar and have looked into a trip with him. Still haven't pulled the trigger. Congrats buddy on checking them off the list. Still on mine. Did you catch any other types of gar?

    I catch chain pickerel every time that I fish the 11 pt. Good fighters but tend to cut you off at least when they hit a jig.

    Last night was pan seared ribeye steak with montreal seasoning with sauted maitake mushrooms. The last of the sweet corn with salt&pepper and old bay (really like that combo lately). Salad with olive variety (Kalamata, Spanish green with pimentos, and chili spiced green olives), and the remainder of the heirloom tomato. Balsamic vinaigrette. No photos (spent nearly two hours cutting grass so too tiered to get the phone). So it must not have happened. The perfect diet dish - no calories !

    Wednesday night's dinner. No I did not catch or grow any of the items for this dish. Sliced garlic and cooked that in with the French style green beans (yes they are canned). Cooked the Mahi with just a bit of salt and pepper in a little olive oil. Once it was nearly done carmelized some teriyaki glaze on the fish.

    As I mentioned haven't caught a single 24" brown trout. I have caught 9 browns over 20". Nearly all of them on jerkbaits similar to what Gavin describes. However, I would say that at least five of those fish were caught between 10 am and 2 pm. I have always wondered if that if they were just more active at that time or if I just got to a hole or stretch of the river that most people don't get to and those fish were less disturbed.

    "Johnsfolly" - John is my first name and Folly represents those activities that I obsess about that have no or little practical importance other than to myself. Except fishing of course which is important to everyone ! avatar is a 17+" smallmouth caught in one of my favorite Ozark streams.

    With the triploids in Taney getting to the right age there seems to be more possibility of some large browns coming from that lake for years to come. I haven't caught either. @Ham has seen my PB smallie and it was not 20". Closest I have come was 23.75" on a brown trout. Just couldn't stretch it to 24"

    I mix ricotta, sweet dried basil, dried oregano, and mozzarella into my lasagna mixtures. In Ireland they top lasagna with a bechamel sauce. I definitely do not like that.

    I can tell the difference when my wife uses cottage cheese instead of ricotta. I prefer the ricotta even with the greater expense.

    Looks great to me especially the parr marks! I'd eat that !

    Just a little salt and pepper on that cottage cheese/tomato would made this a perfect meal😁! Congrats to your wife!
