Default What so y'all do with all dat fish ?

Happy turkey day,

I am very curious being an angler who fishes for sport and food (I'm a body builder) and I vacuum up 300lbs of tuna loins and 250lbs of white meat fish (everything from fluke to cod) a year. I see many guys on this board who go out a hell of a lot more then I do, and also catch way more then I do a year. I guess my question is wtf do you do with sooooo much fish? I'm a very responsible angler and keep what I will eat only.

I have never kept a striper, bluefish in my life. I'm just curious? Some dudes who go out all the time, how the hell do you eat it all? Or do you enjoy just killing fish and giving it away or collect freezer burn?


Happy thanksgiving and god bless America.

Lots of things to do with "freezer fish". Many homes take blues n any fish as the shut ins love the change of menu. I have peeps who dont fish near as much as i do who appreciate the meat and in turn trade off their specialties during the year.
Im not sure where you see an over abundence of fish being taken but NJFishing doesnt hold freezer bums......careful man borad stroke comments hold little weight.

Happy Thanskgiving - btw I wont be eating striper for Tks givng cause my freezer is empty and I havent seen a keeper in 3 weeks thanks to our early cold snap.

I honestly mean No offense here, but your bagging 550 pounds of fish a year and you want to know what others are doing with all their fish?

Spot on Capt Ron, think: "Or do you enjoy just killing fish and giving it away or collect freezer burn?" might have been the clue.
Guess I missed the connect with "body builder" too!

I hardly ever freeze anything I catch.

I usually take what I can use and give some to friends and family.

There's nothing like eating a fish that was swimming less than 24 hours before, it's just so fresh.

The only exception is when I go to Cabo. I like to bring back wahoo and mahi and will freeze it but it's usually all gone in less than 1 1/2 months.
