Golden To Silver Val said...

omg...they look empty inside. Cleaning them should be a no brainer then, huh? Glad you're having some good times out there. Are you usin' Gypsy's fish fairy? Thought so. LOLOLOLOLOL

Anonymous said...

yep.... they look "empty" as Val says... you are having WAY to much fun with those fishies.... ha ha LOL and have a good rest of the weekend!

Don said...

Obviously some folks who have posted comments have never cleaned a fish. There’s all sorts of “goop” down beyond where you can see looking down the throat of a fish that I doubt they would want to eat.

Right, Soul??

Jamie said...

Great pics and I'm happy to hear that you kicked soulmans butt...teehee


I have been busy today, although I had no plans to be. Janelle has been here and Misty, the girl that used to work for me is coming over with her family...

Watching the race,tony is running in the back...ugh

Have a happy evening. I may be here, if so, I'll look for you.

xo

Smocha said...

ditto all that. I too have never seen the view down a fishes throat. lol

it's true ...ya really do learn sumthin' everyday!

nice job or is that nice catch?

don't those bass have any teeth?

I just spent 5 hours on the boat with all 3 cats. good times. lol

Love me

Summer said...

New TV show starring you and ac.

Girls Gone Fishin.

Mary said...

You're having real good luck in the fish catchin' department - Way to go!

Just beyond that hollow throat is a lot of goop, for sure. I've never cleaned one but I've seen it done. Sure makes you want to skip the fish course and move on to the next.

I'm so glad you had a good fishing day.

SOUL said...

wouldn't want ya ta keel ovah ac--- get out and go getcha some !!!

SOUL said...

c-- they're only empty half way down.. then like Don said-- they get pretty GOOPY --- i don't think you EVEN wanna know the crap i've pulled out of fish bellys --- do ya?? or their guts, for that matter? or how bout just their insides ?? they got all the stuff we have -- only worse.. and smaller.. and goopyer. isn't that a cool word ?? goop .. goopy.. is it goopyer -- goopier.. wth :))
thanks for the vocab lesson Don :))

oh, as for the fishin fairy .. nah.. i AM the fishin fairy LOLOLOLOL

btw---i think it's about time for gypsy to fish up a NEW fishin fairy-- don't you?

SOUL said...

yankee-- i did have fun with the fishies today... aren't they purty ??
hope you had a good day too-

SOUL said...

ya, don.. i sure don't wanna eat it---
ever seen the green junk in a lobster?? that is some nasty stuff --- or goop.. :))

SOUL said...

hey jamie--
yep-- i love it when i get more fish than him :))

hope you had -- or are having a happy time with the fam and friends--

who won the race????

ox

SOUL said...

jlee-- it beats the other end-- ya think???
hmm.. maybe next time..?? lol

SOUL said...

so smocha what'd ya learn.. that bass don't have tonsils ? :))

and that would be nice job --- i guess I would be the nice catch lol -- :))

they sort of have teeth.. but a lot like rough sandpaper -- nothin like walleye teeth .. they have enogh to leave what i call "bass burn" others call it "sore thumb" or other names.. but it can rub your skin off or sort of cut ya from "lippin" em while takin the hook out or holdin em for pix or whatever.
so there ya go-- ya learned somethin else.

that's a long day on the boat--did you roast -- or swim??
is it too hot for the cats for that long???

SOUL said...

summah--
i love that idea-- ya think i can outfish her???

whaddayadoin!!?

SOUL said...

i know mary-- i'm learnin lots of new tricks out there-- too bad it's gettin so darn HOTTTTT.
and have i mentioned they screwed up our tournament? i don't think i did.
they extended it to 1230 A.M. !! from 1030 pm. there's just no way. sometimes soulman has to work on saturday-- but even if he didn't -- that's just too late. we are bummed about it. so no more tourney nights here for me. :((

you haven't missed much by not cleanin fish--it's a nasty task-- and it really is enough to make ya not wanna eat it- but i do like fish. i'd sure have a freezer or two full if we kept all the fish we caught eh?? but nah. the pond would surely be empty by now if we did. then i would have nuthin to do.

and y'all would have nuthin to read here cept my whinin and cryin...
THEN where would we be?
thank God for catch and release ! :))

Cheryl said...

It looks like you had a good day cause you were doing what you love--fishing. It must be great to do what you love. For a while, all is well in the world.

Moohaa said...

Woohoo! You look like you had a blast. And inside that fish... ew!

The Real Mother Hen said...

Wow!
You really have a talent for fishing woman.
Wish you a great week ahead :)

Don said...

If I had a nickel for every fish I’ve cleaned I could buy Soul a new boat. Sometimes I just remove the scales and the “goop” and other times I just slice off nice filets from each side. One thing you find inside during spawning season are sacks of roe which cook up very nicely but you have to acquire a taste for them. They don’t taste like hen eggs, you know. :-)

I guess I have strange tastes because I think the best part of any fish is the edible crunchy portions of the fins after the fish has been fried.

mosiacmind said...

I liked reading about the fishes and seeing the pictures of the fish. i often times forget to order my medications before i am out but tryimg to do better now.

Karen said...

Thanks for the look down the fishy's throat. I am happy to confess I was one of those strange people who wanted to see that.

That is a very pretty spot where you're standing in that last pic. My hubby would be sooo jealous if I showed him all the fish you catch.

So you think I need to find a new fishing fairy....hmmmm...let me see what I can do.
