He ended up seasoning the jack as he would a steak, and he said the jack was pretty damn good. I still laugh at him, but he said he isn't throwing any back any time soon. I googled it to make sure they weren't super high in mercury or anything, and I didn't find anything saying they were unhealthy, so there's that too. Trustworthy friend of mine too. I'm not saying I'd keep any, but if I'm ever starving, I may try it out.

You must be talking about Mr Craig. I met him a few weeks ago and we were talking fishing and he told me the same thing.

I tell people about gafftops all of the time and they wrinkle their nose.

Trust me, if we are catching trout and reds, they are going back in the water, but on a slow day, them gaffs are hitting the ice. There is no more prep, cutting the red meat out, etc, than on a blue cat the same size.
