Okay, so this fathers day my father and I went out to try a new fishing hole that we have never gone to. There are large-mouth bass, bluegill, other members from the Lepomis genus, trout, and salmon later in the year. I live on the columbian river, and can go fishing just down the road from my house (although not the best spot). I mostly enjoy observing the fish in their natural habitat (oh what I would give to go to south america).
Anyways, the load my father and I brought in were 10 blue-gill....well a few blue gill and a few other species related to the blue-gill (Lepomis macrochirus perhaps?). Either way, it was a blast. We only fished for about an hour and caught ourselves dinner. Lucky for us, there is no limit on them in Washington state. There have been times I have caught over 150 in one day (it was a successful, but slow day). I fed a crowd. Like no joke, we cooked it up and served it in a cafeteria.
Here are the pictures:
(taken with phone, please forgive me)
Is this a tilapia? If it is, I can say I ate a cichlid
Common garter snake. Very fun to watch while fishing, also fun to pet for a few minutes.
I plan to update with pictures of almost every fish I catch this summer. I hope to go out at least once a week. Just wanted to share These are a bony fish, but we have a technique of de-boning, scaling, and making it taste om nom nom good. :drool:
