Made some folks happy today

Well I got a chance to go fishing again. With the overcast skies this morning the fish were spread out between aggressive. I had a nice limit of fish in no time. when I got back to the ramp I noticed two ladies struggling to catch fish. I asked them if they would like some fish and they jumped all over them. Glad I could share the prospers of the water with them. Come to find out one of them was a diabetic and in renal failure needing dialysis weekly. I'm glad the good Lord allows me to catch some fish and share with somebody else! Tight lines to all!!!Attachment 95318

Way to go :highfive

WTG! I also limited out but it was tough here. I gave mine to an elderly gentleman that lives down the road in low rent apartments. Always glad to share.

I got a limit on Greers today but it was tough.

Very Nice Gesture!!

Good on all you guys giving fish to those who can't catch for themselves! :Hands Clapping

Looks like a couple happy ladies right there.

It's always good to be able to make someone elses day. I imagine for the most part, people on this board don't go fish hungry, so it doesn't hurt to share from time to time. I haven't had time to pattern the regular crappie this summer, so I think I'll take up needle nosed crappie fishing. I've got a whole herd of trophy needle nosed crappie hemmed up and if I can find tackle big enough to hold them, I'll be willing to share those that I catch.

rcc glad someone likes to catch them needle nose

Don't knock em till you tried em. They fight like crazy and jump sometimes. Hard to fillet but good white meat fried up like Catfish. Keep hearing Coon arses talk about cooking Gar balls , can't find any so I must catch only she Gars.Rofl

Yeah good to help others out with the fish. It's been a while since I was able to do that myself.

Rcc I heard that them gar are good to eat. Never tried em myself but from what I hear they need to be 3 ft to get good meat and clip the back with tin snips as its like armor.

Dem gar balls is gud!!

Do you fill out the paperwork when you give them away?I bet you break a law by transferring them dockside.

Yep carry copies with me gomer

Looks like a fish fry waitin' to happen, LOL. WTG J.W.!

I wouldn't know the difference between a "he" gar and a "she" gar. Can you check them like you do a 'gator? Don't sniff you finger afterwards!!

Good job ABH. I love to give fish away. I had 9 catfish that I gave to the man that runs the ramp and traded for a cold beer and good conversation. I keep hearing about eating gar and for all us river oxbow fisherman we know they are thick this time of the year and I am mad at them. Mad enough to eat one. I caught so many this week that even Glenn and Mitchell would be proud. All joking aside, I know you can eat them but what size is the best.What do they taste like. I had them from 16" to 6' and lost 1/2 a dozen jigs I have to get even.

3' or larger, the only good meat is the back strap like the loin on a deer. Cube it, fry it, eat it fresh. No so good if it cools off.

There was an article in Arkansas Sportman magazine about a month ago that a recipe for gar balls. Crappie times are gonna have to get really hard for me to try it.

I saw that article. I was thinking what better to feed a bunch of drunks at a fish fry than gar. All you need is tin snips and a filet knife to get the back strap out. You dont even have to gut em.
