Went on My annual Paddlefishing trip Today.I was sore as heck,but the only one to snag one in Our party.For those that don't know,a Paddlefish is a large fish that eats plankton and leave the lakes each Year 2 spawn,so You snag for Them with large rods and treble hooks

That is indeed an ugly fish. Your daughters are growing quickly; the last time I recall seeing a pic of them they looked much younger. Do they spend time in the outdoors with you?

Nice!
Were you at Intake?

Indeed! We always trim off the red layer of meat ( it's been a few years but IIRC, it's red) filet the white meat & roll them in a beer batter & deep fry!
What's your recipe, PH?

That photo just makes me more homesick!

I go to the Missouri breaks at slippery Anne area,never been to Glendive or anywhere else.After that red meat is gone I smoke some,and par boil chunks and dip in butter and Garlic.Very similar to Lobster.I let the Females go,and keep the smaller males because You get more white meat.

I don't know,perhaps it was because I asked Timmah if He could get them without engraving?Tim was probably just on His period?!!
