Not yet, but I figured I'd take up fishing after I retire.

Only when back home in WA., out of state fishing licenses are generally very expensive and even more expensive if caught fishing without one...

Several years ago, I was fishing in the sound and caught a 35 pound salmon. Took 40 minutes to get in the boat. MAN was that fun. I sliced part of it into steaks and fileted the rest and put it in the freezer.<br /><br />Unfortunately my house burned down before I could eat it.<br />To break the tension of the fire, I told everyone it was smoked salmon.

I used to Brad, in Alaska, but haven't really since I moved south...that is a nice looking fish in the OP....If I could catch fish like that I might start again.<br />Unfortunately I live in the desert where they are either stocked or the river has too much crap in it for me to want to eat anything that comes from it.<br /><br />In Mexico I do buy seafood from the fishermen that catch it...yum..<br />bri

I love to fish! On a trip to Big Pine lakes years ago, my friend and I limited out in about 30 minutes on rainbow trout. Cleaned 'em on the spot, took them back to camp, fried them up with some spiced flour (onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, cayenne, black pepper, chili powder). YUMMY stuff!<br /><br />Speaking of stuff or, more accurately, stuffing (recipe alert!); I found this recipe in a heart healthy cookbook years ago and it is just AMAZING! <br /><h2><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Crab Stuffed Trout</span></span></span></span></h2><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">2 6-ounce trout, heads and tails removed</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">2 teaspoons olive oil</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">1 small onion, thinly sliced</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">1/4 pound crabmeat</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Juice f 1/2 lemon</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">3 tablespoons dry vermouth</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">2 fresh lemons</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Method:</strong></span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rub trout inside and out with olive oil.

Bake at 400^oF for 20 minutes, or until skin pulls easily away from fish. Baste frequently during cooking. Serve with plenty of fresh lemon, garnish with parsley.</span></span></p><p><a name="aswift_1_anchor"></a><br /><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">&nbsp;</p>

Fished for salmon every year in alaska except for this year due tendonitis in my elbow and can't pull those big babies in.&nbsp; Salmon is great, grilled, fried, baked, poached, canned, smoked, dried, in salmon dip, etc.&nbsp; You can't beat salmon, but trout, bass, crappies, walleye, etc are also exceptional.&nbsp; I love to catch and eat fish whether its sunny, raining, or snowing...Life is good with a pole in your hand!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Are you kidding?&nbsp; Im a Big Ol' Fishing Pimp, and I just couldnt imagine a camping trip without wetting a hook in the nearest puddle of water!&nbsp; Its just an added plus when the water is clean enough I can eat the catch too!&nbsp; Not only does it stock the fridge it also is a lot of fun!

 

[ice_maiden]

I grew up on Toledo Bend.....eating crappie, bass and perch... throw a little salt and cornmeal on that puppy give it a bath in some hot grease.....YUMMMM<br /><br />Store bought catfish.....yuck&nbsp; LOL

Living in Pensacola, I have to like catching and eating fresh fish. I'm just not very good at catching them.

 

[Rollin]

Nice catch&nbsp;VanTrekker. I do miss&nbsp;fresh&nbsp;trout. I love to fish and hope to do&nbsp;plenty&nbsp;of it when I'm one the road.&nbsp;

 

[Les H]

Nope, round here, they just jump in the pan!! No , seriously, im camped with Cuzzin Dick and David Hair in the Cherokee NF in Tn. Someone just dropped off half a 5 gal pail of small bass and bluegill. They just finished cleaning them, so i guess fresh fish fry tomorrow!

The first time I fished and actually it was the last time too was with my dad. It was suppose to be a bonding thing between daughter and Dad and I cursed at him..LOL never curse at dad when he is behind you!! Rap on the head!!

I haven't fished in years but plan to once I'm on the road.

I love fishing for my food. My favorites are trout, bass, and catfish, although I have been known to snag a salmon now and again.

Fishing is my passion.. We like to BBQ them.. The Coho salmon this year have been plentiful ... Trout also over a campfire grate.. Yum!
