Title: a good night of action!
Post by: bmb on April 07, 2010, 09:18:00 AM
me and 3 of my buddies got off work yesterday and headed straight to the river for an hour drive to a bunch of backwater creeks. at dark we got right into the fish. and as you can see, we got some big grassies! we all had to help each other bring these guys in. the biggest weighed 55# and smallest weighed 38#. our total fish count for the night was 43!!

the only bad part was i went thru to reels:( im buying an ams today!

I am curious how you guys go about using them for fertilizer.  Do you grind them up and compost them?  Those are some nice fish by the way!

Cut them up into small chunks and place a chunk in each seed mound in a vegetable garden. There is no better fertilizer to be found. my Grandfather did it and had one of the best gardens around. History books tell us the Indians tought this to the first European settlers.
