    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    An ex-wife used to can carp I caught and cleaned ( filet and get rid of all the red meat leaving only white flesh). She put a tablespoon of russian dressing in each jar before it went into the canner. It was pretty darn good!

    Regardless, it was a trip she will not forget. And pops won't either. Good on you.
    Just because we are peaceful does not mean we have forgotten how to be violent.

    I second this motion. Who cares what she caught as long as you made memories and had fun.

    Catch them from the streams Izzy. Also the suckers have probably already run where you are, but in the Ozarks this time of year people take step ladders out in the riffles and perch up top to gig the fish during the run. Cleaned, cut into 1" steaks and deep fried, they are good eating.

    I thank everyone for there individual contribution to the thread, Ill be showing it to my little buddy soon...

    She even had DREAMS of catching a fish, so just the fact she caught one is so satisfying to me I cannot explain.

    Now, the next plan: Trout, bass or catfish or even perch... We gonna cook that rascal!

    Hey EB looking at the fish compared to her I would say it was something like five feet long right?????????????? If you ever have problems catching something I always have luck with a my DuPont lures they have never failed me.

    congrats on the first fish! Looks like a carp to me as well. Ive never had an issue with cooking them up, I just soak em in salt water overnight and batter them up the next day!
    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    wow... I just realized in my mode of identification, I forgot the basics... Dude! Congrats to her (and a little to you). That's an awesome achievement! sucker/carp are both good canned, if you don't mind the bones. trying to debone them I drove myself batty!

    Sounds like you got her hooked, now to find some better species!
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
