NOW I know why some bags seal right up and others don't seal worth a fart!!! This is wtih the Food saver brand rolls, that also have one textured surface I figured it had to be operator error but had not figured out what the error was! Thanks! Doug

But no gevirdilator?

Wear long sleeves. Like wearing a turtle neck sweater when you were a teenager to hide the hickies..............

That is an INTERESTING looking lake, by that bathymetric chart!

another thread back from the grave.................

I got my case of the big ones yesterday also (11" x 50') back to smitty: ???Why put the bumpy side up? What difference does it make? Doug

I'm assuming that was sunset, not sunrise...................."Red sky at night, angler's delight." And only three weeks to freeze-up, eh Dave!😄

It's been a while since I had any, but yes it tastes like bird. Dark meat.

I have eaten canned suckers, if memory serves me they put tomato sauce (or maybe tomato paste) in the jars. They told us it tasted like canned salmon, and I was a young boy and probably thought it was true. In my memory, it was just fine. I would eat it again, and hell I would probably can suckers again if I caught a bunch. Pigeon (squab) is delicious! Never heard of people raising them, but what a good idea! Doug

Interesting for sure. But carp doesn't really appeal to me...................not that I wouldn't try it if somebody else cooked it! Doug

and grass carp are not fallfish.

Nope. Fallfish.

I'll meet you half-way, say Oshawa, both for the drop off and the pick up............😁

Looking forward to seeing pics of the finished product! It looks awesome. Doug

Nice fish, buddy. Wish I was still able to put a few of those up in jars myself! From shore, or out in the boat? Doug

They have an excellent reputation. If I was going to have a replica made, it would be these folks that I would go to first.

As I remarked earlier, a fellow I knew used to fish for them, specifically to eat them. He poached them in water and claimed the flesh was just like trout.

Yes, it looks exactly like an overgrown creek chub.

Absolutely AWESOME, Dave. I have said it before, you are a freaking MACHINE! Doug

AWESOME, thanks guys!

Here you go, OIM: https://www.unb.ca/research/institutes/cri/links/inlandfishesnb/Species/fallfish.html Doug

I'm pretty sure John won the Salmon Hunt in 1985....

Thanks bud, much appreciated! Doug

Dick Swann, there was a lovely man. He was at the Toronto Sportsmen's Show at least once, and I think more than that, and he was happy to talk fishing with ANYBODY who dropped by, and to show off his noodle rods. I fished with John Slade (whom I knew) and Dick one year on the Saugeen for a day, what an educational experience that was! But he was not using a closed-face reel at the time, and if I had to guess it was probably a Zebco Cardinal 3............... Kind of like the Cardinal 4s the OP has for sale! Doug

that's a joke, right?
