Dwain -Hope my car is faster, as I can't even stretch a fish lie to make one that big. 😀
Not the '66, but still have a Goat in the garage.
This summer's project.
If you ever make it near Minnesota, look me up.
Everybody's fish story can be stretched to be that big. That's just standard fish story telling isn't it?;-)
Eventually, some of us look for proof.
Then things can fall apart quickly.
One guy that fishes with us that on the water, always has bigger fish than anyone else.
When we start cleaning them, we are always amazed at how much his fish shrink in the livewell.
It is a shame they shrink so much.
The way he handles a filet knife, there is a real need for the additional meat to get any kind of a meal.
And then the mystery - why when he cleans, the odd filet count.
We have to watch him a bit closer this year.
lol
Leave him on the pole and don't let him near a knife. Classic.
I once brought a couple of pictures with him with knife in hand admiring his handiwork in to work.
Ever seen a crappie in 5 or 6 pieces before taking the skin off the filets?
Usually it's two slabs to skin, and a body with head attached, complete backbone, dorsal and tail fin.
Well filet was a real stretch - one guy suggested to sharpen the ax for him.
And we must have staged the photo, as there was no way someone could have done that with a knife.
So for a cabin warming gift, one of the guys got Jim the book "How to Clean and Cook Fish" .
When you open it, there is a blown up picture of Jim and the Carnage glued to the inside cover.
Bucket List Challenge - teach Jim to Filet a fish properly.
I'll keep trying, but I may fail miserably.
