Dan, that's awesome! But an 18 hour day would put me down for about three days!!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Doug

You won't be hurting for natural light, Dave! AWESOME!!!!!

Doug

Nothing wrong, and everything RIGHT, about good leftovers, Brian.

Tonight was BBQ Pork chops, and yes indeed there are leftovers!

Doug

You forgot to white out that last boat house,,,,now I know where to get those bucket mouths lol nice catch

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Those were not bucket mouths, my friend, guess you have been up north too long.

But they are very nice smallmouth bass........

Dave I have said it before and I say it again, You are a MACHINE!!!!!!!!

Doug

Geez Ill have to check the regs. I could head up the next few days to lower manitou if its open.

 

Are they okay to freeze first?

 

And whats the best size? We get them anywhere from 8lbs to about 22lbs

Frozen is fine, we'll thaw them before we brine them.

Those northern lakers are not as terribly fatty as the ones down here, if memory serves me. But in general, the smaller fish are better.

You do own a smoker, correct?

Doug

Never tried but boy that sure looks tasty!!!

Put some lakers aside and we will do them up when I visit!

 

This thing will keep my halibut frozen on the trip back from Alaska no problem.

Pretty sure I can jam at least $600 worth of yummy halibut in there frozen and it will still be completely frozen solid when I get home a few days later. So far after 1/2 a day the ice hasn't even started to think of melting yet.

WOW!!!!!!!

And I did think my Coleman Extreme cooler was pretty good..............

Went out and got me a new cooler today.

Needed something that would keep ice longer than my Coleman Extreme Marine cooler. These high end Engels are supposed to be good. Supposed to be bear proof as well. They claim they will keep ice 10 days. They better be for the price I paid for it!!!!

Luckily it was their "Every Day Low Price".

 

Total out the door was $545!!!!

 

 

WHEW!!!!!

Six hundred bucks buys a lot of ice...............or gas to run a genny to run a fridge................

 

 

OMG, Im stuffed.

 

My diet has gone for a crap this weekend.LOL

My guess, is, so will you, Brian.

I agree..

 

Problem is one is my wife

Happy WIFE, happy LIFE.

'nuff said.

Doug

WELL DONE!!!!!!

SACRILEGE!!!!!!!

Feed them hot dogs!

Doug

I have not posted in abit...

 

On the grill they go!

 

Looks very tasty indeed Rick!!!

Tonight here it was BC spot-tail prawns alfredo with fusili pasta, yum yum!!!

This leaves me with ONE package of prawns left.................. But I hope to have more by the end of August!

You have many gifts, Bunk, and top of mind are fabulous tale-telling and passion for big fish. I really enjoyed reading this report!

And yes, Nipigon is now on the Bucket List. I guess it always was, but now it is for sure!

Doug

 

Doug, I have made many a ribs this way, and I got to say, these are probly right up there as one of my best. Pulling the silver, was the maker. When there is just meat, I will keep the silver on to kep it moist. Like I said, there was more fat then I like on these, but they were on sale for $1.68 a pound. Make what ya can at that price.

I'm with you Brian. And yes, I always take off the silver skin, they seem to take the rub better that way.

Brian, that beats the snot out of left-over "Venison-aroni"................which is on the menu here this evening.

Doug

back to smitty55.........

I use the same smoker and really should buy a new power cord, the one I have has a melted plug..........

and BTW those moose sausages last night got a good dollop of Iron Arse BBQ Sauce. I bought every bottle they had at the two "Ride for Dad" booths a month or so ago. Thanks for the steer on that!

Doug

Thanks Doug. Damit american side. That mini would be perfect for my use.

amazon.ca has the Little Chiefs too. Not sure about free shipping on them.

the moose sausages were quite tasty but so far are being rather coy about getting their picture taken...........

Doug

Sounds terrific. Try a sneak a picture or two.

You're trying to get me into kaka with the missus!

Yukon Moose Sausages (Mild Italian) are going on the BBQ shortly. I made these with a buddy up in Whitehorse when I was up there ice fishing in March.

YUM YUM.

Doug

.............and there's nothing DIRTY about a feed of fresh fish!!!!!

Doug

I dont trust people that fish and have perfectly clean socks after...

 

Thats just weird

No I mean you have to wash your socks after you flavour the beans with them...............

gross

yes indeed, you would need to wash your socks afterwards!
