Show off your fish

Pulled this dude out of a pond in Palm Springs this weekend:

 

Good color to that Palm bass,,need to get back out there to the Springs/ Yucca/Landers soon. You guys have ALL the stars out almost every night. The meteor showers should have been very visible I would bet.

 

So far from my trip to barneget

 

This was my fathers day striper (I am not a dad) but we grilled it and ate it with my father so that counts!
Hoping for at least the same results this year...

 

Caught last Wednesday after work in a local stream -



Turned them into this for dinner -




On Saturday, me and my buddy banged out over 2 dozen brookies out of my favorite stream. We ended up keeping a few of the bigger ones to cook on Sunday. The largest one was 14" -




Are there any other western PA fishermen on here?

 

Bacon wrapped trout??

 

Indeed! That was the first time I've ever cooked em like that. They were fantastic.

Stuffed em with garlic, onions, lemon slices. and buter. seasoned with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and italian seasonings. wrapped in bacon and drizzled in Yukon Jack. Then grilled.

 

Wow. I always put garlic powder, lemon juice, lemon pepper, black pepper, butter inside mine, wrap em in aluminum foil, and throw em on the grill. So good. Every now and then I'll butterfly filet them. You can cook them in the oven or on the grill.

 

Foil works wonders as well.

The ones we cooked Sunday were done in foil on the grille. The bacon didnt get as crispy, but the onions and garlic cooked up better because we cooled this slower and on lower heat

 

Not anything big, but first couple bass of the summer

 

Nothin special, just a nice Rainbow, but it was my first trout on a fly rod, so...



:beer:

 

You always remember your first....

 

I doubt you do, you've had so many in between!

 

Nice pile of trout. The big brookie is my biggest so far, almost 2 lbs.

There have been a few

 

Wouldn't normally keep this size fish, but he took the Rapala all the way down to the gills, and when I set on him, it ripped part of them out. He was bleeding pretty badly. So I kept him, and he'll grill up nicely.

19 1/2"

 

Jesus! I wish trout in Western PA got that big!

 

What river is that?

 

11lb Bluefin trevally or Omilu!
