Solo backpacking/elk hunt 3 miles from trailhead beside a lake in Colorado. Cockroaches out there anyway. Roasted on a spit.

I suck the tender pink flesh from their lifeless carcasses and pick my teeth with their rib bones. :D Actually, I don't eat specks very often. I love to eat trout, but mostly eat rainbows or holdover stockers. Every now and then, though, I must partake of the filet mignon of the trout world. The craving was genetically implanted into me at conception, along with a desire for ramps, morel mushrooms, cathead biscuits, trashy women, and white likker.

Wild brown trout is delish.  That cheek meat on a fat brown trout can't be beat.

Yes, it is the same as you not comprehending 'fellatio or hand-job from a stranger' or 'one night stand' or 'drinking until you puke' or 'smoking a blunt' or 'licking a gal named Brook before marriage'.  It is that Liberty education.  Stay true young man; we are savages.  Big J, you are likely the only truly honorable pal I have.  I need at least one clean to stabilize all the contaminated.

I enjoyed an "appropriate"share of brookies from Michigan's Au Sable and feeder creeks to Lake Leelanau in my youth (to age 50).

For those of you born too late:  Tom Robbins  reminds us, "it's  never too late to have a happy childhood"

4 glasses of wine and no longer counting.

Stockers receive no mercy.

Wild brookies...not yet.  There may come a day.

I don't think I've eaten an eastern brook trout. I've pan fried a hell of a lot of their northern dolly varden cousins though. I'll make a point of frying one up soon.

Brookies in Appalachia are hardly worth preparing for consumption due to their diminutive size.  Brookies in the Rockies however are most definitely worthy of the fillet knife.  I've seen and consumed brookies pulled out of Seepage Lake Co in the 2 pound range.

Spork, I hope Snakeheads are more palatable than Bowfin.  The texture of cooked Bowfin flesh is creepy rubbery.
