Confession? I don't eat them... or trout (we have monster rainbows - 25-30" )... or (gasp!) salmon. I never developed a taste for any of them. I grew up in Kansas. I like white, flakey fish, so here that's halibut or pike. Everything else, for me, is catch and release. Mostly what I eat is moose and caribou. The fish though... my little corner of the world and my employer... our rivers are remote and hard to get to. Frankly, the fishing is often obscene, in numbers and size. I am incredibly blessed and smart enough to know it.
