Wanton Waste

[Finfeatherfur]

Well, so I don't come off all high & mighty, I need to come clean here. I did catch a mess of fish a few summers ago and get all messed up on whiskey that night, so I decided to clean the fish the next day. Too bad, by the time I got out of my drunken stupor at 10 the next morning, they were swollen in the ice chest and the water was warm to the touch. Instead of cleaning them, I used them to bait some crab traps at the camp and then used the crabs for a big boil that night. I was not expecting them to spoil in an ice chest, but with temps in the upper 80's at night, I was wrong.

As for the fish, that's just WRONG! I've never hit a landing that there wasn't someone there willing to take some fish home!

I have the same freezer space problem these days as well! No time to go and restock!

Although, I feel a company-wide meeting () coming Saturday morning! Likely taking place at BSM! The boss has something to discuss with the employees!

Got my first one being delivered in about another week! Took delivery of the 155qt for the Contender last week and it is already in that boat with the cushion top. My 65qt was on backorder.

No worries Fin....you had good intentions to clean yours. This guy didn't

Throw em back or give em away at the launch. This chaps my azz!

Not an issue with me, I have a freezer full of spoonbills that I use to train dogs with. Those fish did not go to waste and my spoonbills are not being wasted either. I gotta a call into CSI Miami and they should be able to trace the truck by the tire print and narrow it down to catch these punks.
