Title: Tuna Bellies

I need a minimum of 2 gallons.

I've used them on KwikFish wraps before, but fish'd the Plug Cuts for springers this year,I put some old loin I had in them with my secret sauce. My brother smokes his bellys, they actualy have a good flavor with kind of a smoked oyster texture, but I can only eat so much of it. I still save the bellys for some reason :dunno: Buddies call me a fish hoarder.

Man, they taste delicious! I'm not sure I could, in good conscious give tuna bellies away for bait when they belong in my freezer.

You're crazy! Have you thrown one on the BBQ/Smoker with a light amount of seasoning? No way would I be using those tasty bellies for bait!!!!!! :dunno:
