Fishing 2-11-10

[CHOMPERS]

We caught a giant shiner for starters. I've never seen one this big. Around here, six inches is pretty big.

Then saw a dead pleco. It was in the range of 20" to 22". They get up to 24" around here, but it still could have died from old age if it was a female.

Then we hit the mother load...

sweet!

Notice the eyes. After the cold weather, all of the talapia have drop-eye.

Btw, this big one weighed in at three pounds.

Of course, every fishing trip needs Before and After pictures. This would be the After picture.

What is that first fish? It doesn't look like a shiner, more like a herring.

I noticed the really bloody fillets so one tip for a better taste to the fish, bleed them as soon as you catch them. Just cut the vein in the gills and leave in water.
