BIG GERMAN BROWN plus FEEDING CHARLEY

Fish in the sink is a common occurrence around here.

The guys go fishing sometimes once or twice a week 
and bring home big rainbow and brown trout from the deep, cold lakes not far from here.

 When this happens I just get out of the way and prepare for a 
main dish of the freshest, finest trout imaginable.  
The guys clean the fish and leave the kitchen spotless.  How can I complain about that?

DH brought home a monster the other day.

  It was a German Brown Trout which weighed close to six pounds 
and was twenty-two inches long.  
That’s about the size of most newborn people babies.

 Look at those teeth!  
That’s DH’s hand plus the scrapes on his fingers he got removing the hook.

(I just realized I've set myself up for censure from the Friends of Fish --whatever)

Below is a short video of two of our sons and their dad
fishing Hebgen Lake, Montana in January. 
Plus a visit from one of the locals.

  11. I thought PETA decreed that fish are now referred to as SEA KITTENS. Because nobody will want to eat SEA KITTEN STICKS. You're in big trouble.

  12. Linda: The fish was too big to pay for the $$$ it would cost to have it stuffed. Besides DH already has big fish on his wall.
    VAL: When sea kittens grow fur and catch and kill rodents maybe they won't get made into sea kitten sticks.

    I want to be Charley.
    The raw trout must be a delicacy like Sashimi in Japan.
