Looks like a tasty fish to me....   :chuckle:  If you filet them, scale them first then filet leaving the skin on.   The skin adds a nice sweet flavor.

pumpkinseed sunfish to be specific
catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright

We used to call 'em shellcrackers in the midwest. Good eating if you get a mess of them.

That's a big redear! We used to catch them in Indiana like that. I haven't seen one that size in about 25 years. Thanks for the memory.

Looks like dinner to me!   :EAT: :EAT: :EAT:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
