Re: Fish-Cost per Pound $$$
you are right peter. trout have teeth. i have had trout thumb every year since i was old enough to brag about skunking my grandpa at catching them. the last few years it has started to bother me and i went out and bought a pair of gloves. i don't know why it never bothered me before to have my thumb turned to hamburger, eather way it dose now. the only saltwater fish i don't know much about are mackarel,permit,tarpon and cobia. these fish are'nt here all year or don't come into the canals round hernando. realy i don't know what i was thinking (sun stroke). also i don't touch any thing i can't identify, and some i can. i was told that i was lucky that i did not grab the mack. eather, apearently they are like cats and are pointy on 5 out of 6 sides. my freind said that their fins are sharp as well.

don't realy care bout tarpon. i can't eat it and i don't want to harm such a noble fish out of stupidity.( i gather that they are fragel to a point) doubt i'll get to much of a chance to catch permit, least not now anyway. i know a little about cobia, they say they can break a mans leg when on deck if they are big enough. they have been known to break chairs when flopping arround on deck. nothing a fish bat weilded by an shoafin monk wont cure( wounded bear style gung fu) i have seen most of the poison ones, if it looks like a govenment secreat progect, just cut the line and re-rig. no need to even mess arruond. i got a pleaseing gift from the fish gods sunday night. a new fish recipe. fish,salt and pepper,a grill(wood for fuel) and pace picantae sauce. even my kid (1 of 4)that dose'nt like fish unless it comes out of a cardboard sea liked it. thats saying something. i would like to try it with some lemon added to it. yall have got to try it. its good " i garonteee" (to quote the late great cajiun) the mech. gods are always ticked at me. i belong to the shade tree clan( arch enimes) i wear three spark plugs arround my neck and can make a new power head out of old chewing gum and beer caps. if i can't fix it on the water it was made broke....well maby i have done some creative things in my time, best not push it. i've got to post the picture of the shade tree special...redneck art at its shadyest. i fixed the holes in the bottom with beer cans and epoxy. they don't leak but the new rivets put in by the boat bum sure do. i'll fix that mess my way.

<br />derwood.<br />P.S. i'll do the mech. sacrifice anyway. out of respect for a worthy advisary.
