I guess it's no different than bringing your own wine and paying a corking fee.

in a sense...

think the most surprising time i was down there.....i was off a bridge fishing that night and all i was catching was catfish, down here they're called hardheads, and that was all i was catching....finally during later part of the night.....a man and a woman came over not having any luck and asked me what i was gonna do with them, told him i was gonna throw them back, really not interested...he said give them to me...so i thought i second i said ok....here ya go.....he handed me a card told me it a nice resturant you should go....i said ok....

so the next day i woke took a shower, fixen to get ready to leave, i pulled the card out...you know before i leave i'll stop in, sure enough as soon as i walk in there was that man and woman...they owned the resturant....so i sat down...he came over shook my hand...so you want the special...i said whats the special....he said catfish nuggets and a dipping sauce....i laugh so hard....these are not the ones i gave you are they...he smile....said lunch is on me...walked off.....that was a 2 thumbs up day....

Caught a bunch of those in Ms. , they lived in brackish water and were considered trash fish. Had one of the kids poles ripped off the dock from what I assumed was one of them. My job was getting them off the hook, those barbs were lethal. They fought good though.
Caught a Redfish before I knew what they were and gave it to some kid, he didn't explain what it was to me, I figured it out later. :finger:

Best thing i've found with those barbs, is a hand towel...at first when you bring them up throw and hand towel over they're eyes, then they'll relax and the bard are easier to pull back....then you can get to the hook.....had to show a family that while on a pier, they're little boy caught one...and i taught him.....

We only did it in the before times when we went to our favourite Italian restaurant with friends. They charge $85 for a bottle of valpolicella that costs $35 at the liquor store. Their corking fee is $15, $10 for the house and $5 for the server.

I like using something like this.


No slime & no very painful pokey + your fish towel stays relatively clean.

Was it good? I've only had catfish once, it was blackened cajun style... with too much spice IMO. you couldn't taste fish lol.

Things are weird here. Alcohol is controlled by the province and restaurants and bars can only sell what they buy from the liquor control board. So there's no off brand wine or anything like that. They've modeled the cannabis retail industry after it too :roll:

Colo Clean LOL! I'm not responsible enough to have that. I'd be shooting everyone with it.

The responsible thing is NOT leaving toilet paper in the backcountry. It really tarnishes a beautiful piece of wilderness when you constantly see shreds of people’s poorly buried poop covered toilet paper.

A backpacking bidet really makes sense. It keeps your butt clean while hiking long miles. That’s definitely awesome.


And, you get to shoot your friends with it ;):)
