Looking good Doc, you using green beans to tip with now?:Rofl
Doc, what was his advice if you don't mind?
Looking good Doc. One of those should be good for one of the big fish pots. I have a hand tied one that is going to win the other pot. I can't disclose the color just yet. LOL.
Looks good Mark! It's getting close!

man, i don't mind at all. i was not baking mine hot enough, but i was baking them way too long. here is what he recommended.Quote:

doc :)
Dont forget to chip the eyes.
One time I didnt clean em out and had to throw them all out.
BTW, all you got is pink?
you gonna wish you had a handful of the pank heads when i hammer them on the bone in a few weeks. LOL
Thanks Doc.
