I only eat fish if I can't even find tree bark to gnaw on. And I did it not so much coz I felt that bad for the fish but because of my daughter. It was a lesson in compassion, concervation, and giving back to the wild resourses we enjoy. There was alot of good things to learn from this fish
We are always picking up behind other people. Let's be careful that i don't get triggered here. This fish isnt the first animal we've rescued from discarded gear. I don't mind if people fish and hunt but damn it do it responsibly! ...ok thats my PSA for the day lol
I like bullhead, so cool looking when you pull them outta water, lol that reminds me a month back I was at a cottage at RICE LAKE ONTARIO CANADA, on 4th day or so I decided I would take a snorkel, goggles, and a life jacket and just float beside the dock, I started at land where that water was about twice ankle deep, as i floated i say so many Gobys(Round Goby [Invasive]) but to my surprise i also say a Black Goby guarding from underneath a rock, it was fighting back all the other gobys, so I took the rock and flipped it over, THEN i saw about 100 eggs, I tried to put it back down the way it was before but idk... so I continued to float extremely slowly and calmly until I found 2 yellow bellies fighting over pieces of Crayfish** from one that fell off my hook when i was using it as a bait (Rusty Crays[INVASIVE]) crays where everywhere by the shoal (Just the day before i caught a Rusty Blue cray) **so i put my hand out and both the fishes scattered, i was about in 4'5" deep water near the end of out dock(What I did not know was my parents were putting corn in the water for 2 days) so i was looking at a rock at the bottom about 1ft high, when i looked directly in front of me.... THERE WAAS A 28in CARP SWIMMING WITH ME... i am almost 6ft, probably 5'11" but to me it looked about 5 feet long lol, so I watched it for abit cause i love fish, and when it left i put my head out and shouted to everyone (Never seen a live carp before) then i went under again and the carp was still swimming with me, I grabbed my fishing rod shoved corn on it and soon 4 fishing rods with corn hooks in the water, my bro got the first bite, but it cut real quick cause he had 8lb MONO LMAO, I was the only one who had 50lb BRAID, when it took I let it go for abit, then i hooked in and the fight began..... next thing you know we are cutting up 2 28in carp. The other my mom caught. I can send pics if you guys want... lol sorry for being so off topic.
