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?

some troll the channels, some troll the board

I take all my extra fish and hide them in various stores so they start to smell

i let it sit in the freezer until it goes bad & then give it to seagulls

A feed several families and release most of what I catch

Re: What so y'all do with all dat fish ?
 

I enjoy eating what little I catch and by far enjoy sharing what I catch with those that don't have the opportunity to fish like I do. Being Thanksgiving I'm thankful to live in a country where people can share their comments without fear of reprisal. Thankful for my best fishing buddy SharkyMark who takes me fishing and all the guys at the Atlantic Highlands Marina ramp who are very polite and share their stories with me. Happy Thanksgiving!

Who freezes fresh fish ? I eat it fresh, if I have extra I go around to all my neighbors and give it away. I tell them if they freeze this I will not give them any more fish. Frozen fish ?- might as well go to Shop Rite.

I give a lot away to local business's. Haven't paid for pizza, dry cleaning, sushi in town for a long time. Then of coarse I eat some of it.
