Yes , that is about all we need for 3 people to eat fried fish and have one lunch left over .
So in an effort to keep the balance of things in order and feed the dang cormorants ....
I propose a limit of 2 fat ones .....:Rofl

this is factual , the fish much over 12 are bothersome to me , not my thing to put the knife on the toads much .Quote:

Looks great!
11-12 is perfect in my book.

thats the one thing about cooler weather that ain't fun , seeing them in herds makes my hair on the back of my neck stand all up
sure wish it was ok to send them packing back to the coast where they belong
arn't they an non native invasive species? if so might be ok to reduce their numbers according to the state laws. IDK but it's possible.
There is hope. Us fish and wildlife opened up the birds for harvest. They set it at 200,000 birds-ish. Feds are delegating states to handle how they want to go about it. You'll have to search the interwebs. Its been months since i read itQuote:

They tried that up on the west coast and brung in govt. gunners and wore them out BIGTIME a few years ago .
A year or so later the numbers were right back where they were when they whacked them from what I read .
hopefully Texas gets to scare a few away to the great beyond soon
Seems like most everything invasive is not all that eatable. If it were folks would naturally keep them thinned out
I’d love to have an opportunity to put a bunch of those to rest!

3 inch mag and some heavy shot in my extra full choke turkey gun will ruin there vacation here if someone says Go for sure :yikes
That cast iron adds a special crunch......
Have had a two fish limit for the last few trips I have had and that's just fine with me. enough for me and wifey to have a good dinner. or to give away to some older friends I have who love a fresh fish dinner but don't get out.
Good lookin dinner. I thought those tots might have been Okra for frying.
