when i was a kid I used to catch them and used any insect , or a piece of weed on the hook. it's been alooooong time since I tried those for the last time, and it was always fried. I don't even remember what they taste like.
They taste kinda like rattlesnake without all the bones.
Not so much like fish,not so much like chicken . Somewhere in between .
Too funny ....
I liken alot of this to my distance running days and have had very similar experiences since stowing the tanks.
I adjust technique to what feels natural and comfy, otherwise I'll get to thinking about it which causes uncertainty and lack of confidence. At which point I'm done. Paralysis thru analysis.
Is any part of the frog other than the legs edible?
Dan, I've never seen much else left on 'em once the legs are off. As LB, stated, I have heard of the Japanese making a kind of frog sashimi. But I lack the balls to try it. So far.....
The secret is to use a piece of RED CLOTH on the treble hook.
I do not know why red, but it worked. But remember to brain the frogs as the hook does not hurt them and they get pretty jumping and thrashing around in the cooler without ice. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
Aaron--how is the dogs eye?
I have always heard about the red cloth thing.... never tried that, I've used bass plastic worms before though. That was fun.
Tut's eye is well and thanks for asking. I covered his good eye not long ago with one of those surgical masks and messed with him out in the yard. He still retrieved and played and climbedinto his trough to cool off, so I am calling his eye 'good'.
Don't know what it is, but all my honey holes are absent of fish. Had been doing well, bringing decent sized fish with signs of bigger boys lurking. Just wasn't able to connect.
Go back on Saturday, and nothing was holding fish. Not the rock dams, not the mussel beds, not even the standing timber.
Was determined not to go home empty handed , though.:)
Pole spears are kryptonite for these suckers.Took a big ass turtle out of one of my traps on the way home, as well. Butchered him last night.
HAYL YEAH !!!
Redneck for congratulations.
Gem of a girl ....
Wow ... probably one of the best illustratios of it I've ever seen.
Why don't you cover his good eye and do some tests, toss a stick or a ball for him. Or hold out a food item in front of his face see if he follows it with his injured eye. I have no idea about the lack of reflection.
Covered up his good eye today and played around the yard ... he has sight. Not sure how much...don't even care . It was funtional enough to play.
Welcome....
Welcome....
That's on this evening's agenda, Dan.
I hate to admit this ; but I talked to some guys that work fast dogs on whether I should put him down or not if he is definitly blind in that eye.I considered it because loss of sight in an eye results in depth perception issues ... not good in an animal that moves at 45 mph, alot of broken shoulders and legs due to not avoiding obstructions like trees and fences.
The consensus was 'no'. That he'll adapt. Yeah !!!
All looks good .... no infection or anything, it has muscle use. But noticed something last night .... the eye that was injured doesn't reflect light . What's that mean ? Damaged rods and cones ?
Jesus, Dan ... that was funny.
Sorry about that... it is a great thread.
5. Holding in body waste products can lead to discomfort and consequently affect breath hold negatively leading to a dangerous situation. I try to evacuate as often and as comfortably as possible. We all know the old adage "laughter is good for the soul". If you can combine laughter with evacuating by making your friends see it or even touch it the benefits increase exponentially <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
I agree completely...
Thanks for the pic. That dog has a hell of a long muzzle compared to your hand. I know it's a perspective shot but still.. A killing mouth on fast legs.
... that and I have hands like a 13 year old girl.
Here's Tut's injured eye .... snapped a quick shot before applying his meds.
2nd and 3rd photo were taken not more than 3 hours prior to the Title Fight. 2nd one shows them engaged in a game of 'keep-away' around the yard, 3rd gives you an idea of the size difference between the two.
still pulling for him...why does Arliss have to be such a badass huh?
Thanks ... that's kinda funny . Arliss was the one getting his ass handed to him, Tut was on the verge of completely outing him and for good. It wasn't until after I got 'em seperated and had a chance to examine them I saw Tut's eye . Only mark on him, well ...take that back, he had a small nip under his chin. Other than that...he was killing Arliss all the while having a piece of wood embedded in his eye. Crazy.
