PROV 1,441 Posted January 19, 2023 The video was a mistake and I didn't know how to delete it. Those are all lake trout. Good eating on the grill but my favorite is smoking them. For you jokers, yes they are hard to light. 😁 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 22, 2023 At the 7:00 minute mark of this video , a snake is biting on a fish , looks like a common water snake , I can't really tell but it reminded me of this story : I was fishing perch off the bank , the bow of my pirogue was pulled up on land , I had a stringer tied to the boat , there were 50-60 perch and bass on the stringer , heard some splashing and I looked over and seen a big cottonmouth moccasin was clamped down on one of the fish ,with his big diamond shaped head injecting venom , so I grab a stick on the bank and hit him , but didn't kill him he just swam off , so I had doubts about the fish still being good from stories I had heard , I called Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries and they hooked me up with one of their biologist , he said , first off , I didn't know which fish was bitten , if I were to stick a fin in my hand or even cut my hand with the knife while cleaning them , I could get poisoned , also the venom was an amino acid and if the fish was cooked , the venom would still be venom , if ingested and it could be absorbed into your stomach , he say , all the for instances were remote , but he would not take a chance , so I threw the whole stringer away , but if that were to happen and you never noticed , hmmm 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted February 18, 2023 " Bad Boys of the Outdoors " is a Fish and Game segment of a radio program that airs every Saturday morning here in Louisiana -- Working off a tip to the Wildlife HotLine " 1-800-Game Theft " , Cyber-Agents of the Wildlife and Fisheries viewed multiple social media videos of a State licensed nuisance animal person , who videoed while with a youth , who had no required life preserver on for his age , they were gigging nutrias ( gigging = harpooning / puncturing the skin with a barbed shaft on a long pole ) , dragging them in and chopping off their tails , then letting them go still alive , ( there is a monetary bounty on nutria tails as they are a nuisance animal which destroys the levees and marshlands ) , but the methods to take them are either a .22 rifle or shotgun smaller than 10 gauge with steel shot --- so contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile , cruelty to animals , illegal methods , etc , etc , etc , etc , as of now comes to $27,000 and ten years in prison and forfeiture of equipment forthcoming ----- cruel and stupid come to mind I looked for the videos , seems they must have deleted them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
