Braggin Board for Fishing!

I see blackened catfish in your future.

Yes sir!! We let the biggest ones go but kept enough of the smaller ones to eat on for a while!

 

[GSPHUNTER]

This is my favorite recipe for blackened catfish. 1 tsp paprika, onion powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder, black pepper, dried thyme, oregano, 1TBSP kosher salt. I coat the filets, heat unsalted butter and olive oil until it starts to bubble, then cook on high heat until done. If thyme and oregano are the leafy kind, I grind them with coffee grinder, not a must but I like it that way.

Quick little fun run for the crew… literally 1.5hrs dock to dock, and we never get to fish ourselves so it was a great morning… nothing special but quick halibut fishing is special within itself, just 3 of us and we all got fish our first drop

Tomorrow will be a boat load of people halibut fishing, and a lot longer run, hard to not appreciate this morning

Got a day off to chase after catfish today. This was the biggest one of the morning just shy of 14 pounds. Ended up catching almost 30 total with half of them in the 9-10 pound range.

been a good year there. Heading out this weekend

Just got back from my annual 16 Day long range trip out of San Diego. I lost 3 big tuna (sharks, pulled hook and broken leader). My biggest to the boat was only #125, with a few smaller #40 - #80 fish. I did crush the Wahoo and some grouper as well. After a few donations to feed my instructors here at work, I ended up bringing #1100 of fish to the processor. Lots of large fish around, but the sharks were THICK. Successful trip for sure. Now, I can focus on hunting for a bit.

Both males caught getting beds ready for the spawn. Still some pretty cold water temps in CO has the bass spawning late this year.

Took a trip with my dad and grandpa a few years ago out to the tundra in Canada at one of the lakes near Great Slave Lake. Some of the best fishing I’ve been a part of. Was light almost 24 hours a day so you could just go jump on a boat and troll whenever you felt like it. Spent the week catching lake trout and grayling while spotting wolves and musk ox.

My most anticipated meal of the year… that first springer
