Fishing

Drum eats good. Had some tonight we caught in Minnesota this summer.
Years ago wife and I were on Grand lake throwing rattle traps into the rocks, only catching drum. Told her they were good to eat, but she turned up her nose saying they look like a carp.
When we brought them back to camp this summer already cleaned, called them sheepshead. Everybody enjoyed the filets. Good white flaky meat.

I am from Minnesota- (originally) concur that they are sheepshead. dont know why. lol

Yeah, when the we caught a couple, the guide called them sheepshead. A light bulb came on in my head thinking the name change would be the perfect work-around to get these past the wife to eat.
It worked!

Here's a live feed from the Belle Star Marina at Eufala; there's a guy with Live Scope in the fishing dock, haven't seen him catch anything yet.

Is that like the fishing version of high fence hunting?

I’d go to a high fence walleye ranch and never feel bad about it. My brother uses a live scope for ice fishing. Theyre pretty cool. I suppose this isn’t much different at all.
