Well it made me laugh to hear how a vegan is getting death threats from fellow vegans for eating fish.
My funny story of the day.

Oh sweet Jesus.
One of my minions at work...let's call her....Silly Susie.
Last may when I went in my Spanish pilgrimage to Okaloosa Island. She wanted to know what I was gonna do at the beach. Worried about my health and how I was going to enjoy walking on the beach. That was quite nice of her, but I assured her I really liked surf fishing but my knees won't let me, but the pier is better for fishing anyway. I can also make better use of my crutches or flid buggy on a pier.
"Fishing!!??"
"Oh you want me to bring you some fish back?"
"Nooooooooo! Oh my God fish are our friends!"
I wish I could show you a picture of the horror on her face, and the look on mine.
"So...you think they are some kind of sea kitten?"
"They feel pain too."
(I'm thinking: oh for fucks sake.)
"Their brains operate on pure instinct. There is no evidence they feel pain in the sense that we feel pain."
"Oh they feel pain. They have personality just like you and me. My fish at home come right up to me when it's feeding time."
"Pavlovian. Instinct."
"What?"
(Bachelor's degree huh?)
"They have come to associate your hand appearing with feeding.
"No, they come up to me when I hold my hand out, even when I don't feed them."
These people vote...religiously.

The article itself is well written and deserves reading & debate.
I particularly liked the author's use of the term "Post Truth Era" which is pretty much exactly what all the SJWs, Communists, Democrats & "liberals" are desperately trying to bring about. A world where truth, facts and real science have no place.

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath
@armorpl8chikn, tell your friend I just renewed both mine and my lady's fishing licenses now that the ice is coming off the ponds and the streams are slowing their dirty spring flush while the insects are coming back out and making it ripe time to fly fish for hungry trout. I hope to limit out in under an hour next week.
Vegans, who proclaim to be scientific in their endeavor, ignore basic biology at its root that humans are omnivores. The only healthier eating I'm trying to do that goes in line with their beliefs is eating less processed foods, and more of those which I harvest myself. Of course, I'm not using a scythe to do my harvesting...

"while the incests are coming back out"?!
Hey, I'm a grunt and a railroader, not a skirt wearing secretary.
Eye candy for my typo penance...
I gotta renew my Florida SW license this week.
I don't trout fish no more but if you ever get down to warmer climes we could run to gulf coast of florida a few days. Maybe shoot some precision 22.
That’s some of my favorite fishing there. Have many, many days spent on Mosquito Lagoon and the Ft Myers area back bays. I have to rescope my Annie first though, she’s sitting naked right now but that Vortex Diamondback Tactical is looking to be a budget friendly way to get her barrel warmed back up.
A likewise invitation to you if you ever make your way to the Black Hills. Trout may not put up the big fight, but that’s what our pike and Muskie holes make up the difference.
Just tell me that you caught at least one (fish) that day? Hopefully she didn't have to witness that.
Glad you asked.
When I got back I showed her the cooler of death:
I thought she was literally gonna puke.
They were delicious sea kittens. Yes. I'm a monster.
For Christmas, get her a big bottle of fish food, then fill it with tartar sauce.
You must have worked for a different Railroad then me. At least she has eye protection on that's important. She dosen't look like a trainee? Definitely not a trainmaster.Hey, I'm a grunt and a railroader, not a skirt wearing secretary.

She knows a different kind of gang than the signal gang I’m on. She definitely knows what a train is though.
I'm putting sea kittens and cooler of death in my vocabulary with your permission of course.
Just a conductor here she probably knows more than I can imagine. THANKS I probably have nightmares now .
Take the chicken about 80 yards upstream from Canyon Lake. There's a decent hole there. Look north and you'll see a culvert.
Sling a fly up into that culvert and pull out a big brown.
Redman,
Is the state record still the 22lb 4oz rainbow caught off of chimney rock at Canyon Lake?
Man, I tell ya, if I could, I'd move back there next week.
That's a nice haul on those mackerel. They should be all over Tampa bay in the next week or so.
The sardines and green backs are still hanging out along the Skyway.
Makes for a long bait run but catching over 120 snook in a day is worth it.
Tarpon are starting to spread out inside the bay and can be caught chumming while under the bridges
I have a better one, tell her i just did the same with license and actually catch baby fish, run a hook through their lips or back and use them to get eaten by bigger fish so i can bury a hook in their mouth. ( think i heard one scream once). Watch her head explode just be sure to not get any on ya
That is for sure a nice haul of spanish. They are starting to show up here a little bit. Nor’easter blowin now and last week also. Did manage to get out friday for a few hours but the water aas pretty bad from the wind and rain. Managed a couple of dink trout is all.
Yall have a good recipe for them spanish? Caught a pile of em but never cooked any.
Would be willing to try some. They are all over the river here shortly
@Mike Casselton
I caught all 27 Spanish in about 2 hours on Okaloosa island pier with a bubble rig.
They ranged from 2-8lbs. I was calling them pretty hard. The other fish in the box was Atlantic Bonito...not Bonita(little tunny).
I say I. Obviously my wife took the pic and was fishing also. We kept 27. I wish I had kept track of how many I caught.
I know this. That bubble rig never made it back to the pier without a hookup in 2 hours.

Filet. Leave skin on. Broiler pan in broiler, or grill basket on grill. Sprinkle zatarains blackened or Tony chachers on. Lay on very thin slices of lemon from end to end. Broil ~15-20 minutes. Press finger into flesh and it should be barely firm.
Enjoy.
I have others.
I think I should get extra credit for using a Don Knotts meme that isn’t Barney Fife.
Something these dumbasses haven't considered.
These friendly fish are shitting in our drinking water.

I eat fish, especially salmon, and I go fishing especially for salmon and tuna & Jacks. So don't take this the wrong way. As a scuba diver who has been diving some of the same sites for many years and watching fish, it has been my observation that some fish (especially bigger fish) have a very sophisticated way of dealing with the environment. Much more than simple instinct could account for. At least that is how it seems to me.
Don I understand, and do know that tuna "learn". I've heard quite a few captains talk about it over the years. Fishing techniques have had to evolve at times, and yes what works today might not work tomorrow.
When we start training them to do tricks and walking on their tail for treats I'll sit up and take note.
Till then a fish is gonna have to be one charming MFer like that Charlie from StarKist. To keep me from eating him.
Learning and personality is a wide chasm.
Better yet, tell her "Maggot uses dynamite to fish with." Takes the waiting and guesswork out. (I dont but it should piss her off to hear it)
Did you hang out at Beasley Park on Okaloosa Island? Lots of meat eaters hang out there...especially after dark.
Ultralite spinning reel with 4# line makes for some fun trout fishing. I've had to follow them up or down stream.
I had to look that up. LOL Most water I fished was native (anything goes) or single hook-artificial. Not supposed to turn over a rock in the creek, but I may have turned over a few to get a helgamite. Wasp larva works real good too. Small crawfish works well for brown trout, but never had much luck with them for rainbows.
I was just referring to the 'ultra-lite gear' you were referring previous. Using that gear, with the "chironomid" technique definitely adds to some exciting times and very productive fishing experiences.
And regarding the 'fight', it is tantamount to fly-fishing where you are the drag at the other end of 2# test. But I digress,,, this isn't Fish'n Hide and one needs to learn a fair bit of "bugology" to be productive'r at it too.

I might have cast a line or two. One of the best ways to fish, in my opinion. Don't get much chance of doing it now, here where I'm living. But when I lived out west, oh man,,,, the fights we had!
