@ReformedFundy 3 года назад

I remember when I was a boy, my Southern grandma took us kids to her friend's backyard pond to catch a whole mess of bluegill, then we went back to her house and she fileted them all out with the skin still on. She saved all the tails and fins and fried them up along with the filets. I'll tell you what, I still dream about those fins and tails and how we all fought over them once we tasted them for the first time.

@TristinC. 2 года назад

@@TristinC. Don't remember that much about it. To be honest, I didn't pay much attention when I was younger, and by the time I was getting old enough to start paying attention to recipes she wasn't doing much with fish. At least not fresh caught fish. I do remember cornmeal, maybe a little flour, salt and pepper, but I couldn't tell y'all all the seasonings.

When you see gar on the top water like that the oxygen level in the lake is really low. Just like when the catfish are floating to the top dead. ThE levels are really low. After a while you’ll see carp floating dead as well. The summer heat really depletes the oxygen levels in the waters this time of year.

@HungQDang 3 года назад

gar have lung, they take air directly from the surface, so they have no problem with low oxygen water. There is something else that make it act that way, could be a recent catch and release.

A friend and I were Bass fishing on Lake Texoma in HiPort Marina. He had borrowed a Rapala minnow, the wooden hand carved type. This was in the 80's. His rod bent and he is squealing like a little girl. It was a tug of war for him and everybody could hear him all over the marina. He says it's coming up and UP it came. It was a HUGE GAR, with my Rapala Minnow between his chompers. Well he just cut the line and I watched my expensive Rapala Minnow swim away. He didn't offer to pay me for it, nor did he bring us any snacks or drinks. He didn't even offer up gas money. He never went fishing with me again. I sure missed my Rapala Minnow. This was #2 on ride share that he didn't share. The first was to LF of LFG. 180 mi round trip. No #3.Good video you Gar whisperer.

If you are squeamish about the head they make a good handle. We had a Dutch oven we would get the oil really hot, spread the fish open so it cooks on the inside and out. In less than a minute they are so crispy you can eat everything. Love you stuff. Thank you.
