The post whore thread.

Growing up in MO, we used to go fishing a lot - small rural ponds, Lake Jacomo and Lake of the Ozarks mostly. Bass was always the big thing to catch along with bluegill and muddy tasting catfish. I never enjoyed eating them and really never enjoyed fishing unless I was keeping the fish to eat. About the only freshwater fish I enjoyed eating was trout and salmon - until I tasted catfish down in KY because my father-in-law insisted I try it. If the catfish isn't muddy I can eat the heck out of it. As for bass...no joy for the Ginsue.

ETA: Oh, and "'Sup ho's?"

Them catfish in Jacomo (and Blue Springs lake) are mud cats all day long, even if they are channel cat. Nothing but mud and gut rot in there and that makes for a nasty tasting catfish. I wouldn't fish that lake ever again if I had to.

story about Jacomo. Dad took my Grandpa, I and little brother fishing there one year and he threw his line in and not 30 seconds later something hit it hard and he fought it for a good 40 minutes. He thought it was a monster catfish. When he finally got it to the bank, it turned out to be an enormous snapping turtle. He got so mad at that turtle he cut its head off and threw it on the other side of the road in a drainage pond. My Grandpa was laughing fit to kill, but I cried. I felt bad for that turtle. He was just hungry and didn't know any better. My Dad should just taken it over there to the drainage pond and let it go instead of doing that.

Dad and I always went to the Holden city reservoir after Jacomo started getting fished out. You walk about 1/2 way down the dam and go down the rocks and sit by the water on a big rock and throw liver or a cricket out there under a bobber and you'd catch your limit in catfish from 4 am to 10 am. You could come back at 8 pm and catch them all night long. The blue gill in there were fantastic too. such tenacious little fighters. A fried mess of those are amazing.

Lots of them snappers on both sides of the state line in that area. I mostly stayed on the KS. side for fishing.
The best catfish I’ve had came out of Milford lake near Ft. Riley.

I've only ever caught small mouth bass in the little pond behind Water World. Also caught Blue Gill there.

I got some solar and battery hooked up in the coop tonight.

Best way to remedy those cats is a day in fresh water, followed by a soak in buttermilk. Then toss some hot sauce on them. After hot sauce or other flavor of choice, dip on a pancake mix using beer in place of other liquid. Deep Fry and enjoy.

Had perogies the other day. I'm sure that the frozen in a bag version is terrible compared to whatever they make on the East coast or wherever has humidity, but it was still pretty disappointing. Just the concept is bad. Potato wrapped in bread? No thanks.

You should try some pierogi instead. Tasty and come in versions beyond potato. Head down to European Gourme (sp?) and get some. Yes they are frozen, but there is meat, sour craut and mushroom, tato and cheese, and various fruit versions. Pick up some kiełbasa while you are there. On Wads in Arvada.
Also, for the regular pierogi fry down some fresh bacon crumbs - 1/2lb of bacon cut to 1/4 inch lengths fry till crispy and serve hot. For fruit versions take sour cream and add sugar, stir till well mixed and sweet.

Why didn't he eat the snapping turtle!?

I like M & I International Market in Glendale for eastern european.

Walleye, crappie and pink fleshed trout are the fish I prefer to harvest in Colorado for food.
