Share your catch, you might not be able to fish one day

Took fish to several older folks today. Some that are no longer able to fish. Couple guys that used to be on here at one time. I had 4-gallon bags of fresh Crappie fillets. One older couple camped at the lake had not seen since last year. Did not know he was battling Cancer. In the past, usually gave him whatever was in my livewell. Asked if he wanted some Crappie. He grabbed a bucket but these in my cooler already filleted. My last stop was friends camped for the week. Gave them the rest. Also brought some Flathead Catfish fillets which we had for supper. I share most of my catches. I try to share with older and sick friends when I can. None of my catches ever gets wasted. All the folks I shared with today were much older than me. If I ever get too old or sick to fish, hope someone shares with me. Still a young 65 and fishing all I can.

I love this... :heart

You catch some very nice groceries Nimrod. I’m sure everyone that receives them appreciates it tremendously. Very nice :highfive

Feel good stuff right here folks! It’s what Jesus calls on us to do in scripture….

Good idea

I share almost all of mine every time I fish, always have. Just started considering freezing some fish after seeing the European grocery store shelves empty. If we are headed for harder times in the US food supply a few QT bags of fillets could be a nice option. When Hurricane Katrina hit here there was no food for a while but we didn't feel the pinch because of frozen food, canned food, caught food, or ingredients food (baking fresh bread).

Nice post and well done.

Great on ya Nimrod. Always try to take care of those we can.

Was asked yesterday what my wife did with all the fish I took ?
we don't actually keep very many for us , we only eat fish once a week and ....
said well, I only keep a few of what I actually ketch in the first place anyway ....
and I give them away to folks that REALLY appreciate them
those that are generous in this world of the not so generous , get it back 2 fold or more
thats a fact :highfive

I gave a fellow a mess of fish Sunday myself. Tickled him to death.

Good giving to others. You do good at catching and giving.
Always have enjoyed giving fish to others who enjoy eating crappie or bream or salty water fish.
That’s a blessing.

Good on you! There's a little old lady at my local hardware store that loves to receive a few filets. Just her and her husband, it doesn't take much to make a meal for those two. I need to go visit her and drop some off soon.

Giving always feels better than gettin'. Great post Nimrod!

You’ve just rekindled some things in me that I haven’t practiced much in a few years. I know a few folks that are greedy and others that are needy. It’s always so well received and leaves everyone involved in a better place. I know what I’ll do with my upcoming catches. I thought of this Saturday when I released a 13 1/2” slob. The next ones won’t be so lucky. God Bless You Nimrod! You often think of others first.

Nimrod, I get no greater satisfaction than sharing my catch with others who love fish. I make it a point to gather family/friends together for an annual fish fry while I’m still able. Doesn’t get any better than that.
