This was a QUESTION asked_______by a TEXAN!!!!

Anybody out there into eating hard heads? New to fishing and some guys at the bait shop told me they were the best tasting fish in the water, so me and a buddy set out on a hard head mission and successfully filled a cooler. The only thing is when I fried them they tasted like @#$@. We had so many fillets and three or four holes in our hands so we decided to grill some the result was just as bad. Anybody know a good recipe? The way we cooked them they tasted like the neutria we used to eat back in Trinity.

Here is how your pre-pair a Hardhead...TX style


You didn't properly "tenderize" your hardheads prior to getting them to the cleaning station. Next time, get you a couple pieces of wood with nails driven through them. Hold each piece of wood with the nail side facing in. Insert hardhead between two pieces of wood...make several clapping motions with the two pieces of nail skewed wood ensuring that hardhead has plenty of holes. In fact, keep clapping until there is holes and blood everywhere.

Not only will this tenderize the meat, but it will also help to bleed him out. That nasty taste is some of the toxins in the blood.

Good job for harvesting those hardheads. They don't have enough natural predators...so we have to do our duty to thin them out.

Notes of Interest
A vastly underutilized fish. Large quantities are caught as bycatch in other fisheries and discarded. It may be the most common harvestable-size fish in coastal Louisiana, and has a surprisingly good taste.

Pot ................Kettle.
So let's see how much time did you spend on that sorry site, which at the time happened to be owned by the same person that owns This one????

Oh yeah, and let me see, the Owner is a TEXAN.

So, let's see, that means that you got run off the sorry LA site you hung out on only to go get booted off a several Texas sites, so you can now hang out on a site OWNED by a TEXAN, whom will probably ended up running you off of it eventually anyway!

[Reel Bender]

After thinking about the above I think the following picture pretty well sums it up.

Amazing how most of the Texas Sites wanted me BACK!!! I have about 200 emails saying I was more wanted than Half the members there!!!! Whats UP WITH THAT!!! They just can't handle the truth.....Like I catch 100xs more trout in one week than most catch in 10 years

[ShadMan]

LOL...since I personally know the guy who posted that, I can tell you with certainty that he is trolling.
