The one caught last year was a foot long and over a pound. Big for AZ.

8' is deep for pupfish but they are cool fish to keep and have lots of personality. There are a few different kinds in the hobby. I bough a pair, don't remember which subspecies, about four years ago but the female got caught in the siphon when I was cleaning the gravel before I had a chance to breed them.

Congrats on a double. My usual spots came up nill but I did get a chance to meet some new people and watched some Big Horns on Friday. Saw a pair yesterday morning at about half a mile but these old legs don't move as fast as they used to and they weren't anywhere to be found when i got there. This front gave me second thoughts on staying through tomorrow so I bugged out this afternoon with plans to go back Friday. This area has been getting tougher the last few years. I don't know if it is parvo or just over hunting. I hunt a wilderness area and walk in but on Thursday at dusk I could see headlights coming out of it. They drove past my camp on the only road out so I walked out to meet them. Turns out they were locals. I asked them if they drove the road into the area dan the first guy said yes. I asked him if he knew it was Wilderness Area and was closed to vehicles, mountain bikes etc and he said he has been going in there since he was in High School. I guessed him to be late 40's. He had 4 or 5 buddies each with an ATV. He said he didn't know it was a Wilderness Area. Guess the signs just weren't big enough. When I called it into BLM on Friday the guy I spoke to was pretty complacent and said they would eventually get around to posting new signs and locking it back down.

I've had walleye. It's a lot like blowfish, same texture. Speckled Trout is sweeter tasting. Perch, like all other freshwater fish taste like the water they swim in. At least in my experience. Pollack is a very sweet tasting and firm fleshed fish ans also used as imitation crab.

I'll have to see if I can talk my son into going this spring since he has a boat. Neither of us have ever been to Alamo or much less caught a Crappie.

AZ has some that big too.

That is so freaking cool. He could have been my sons twin when he was that age.

Did you text him?

Good lessons right there. I bought a GPS back in the late 80's and a buddy and I were bow hunting in 6A. At the end of the day we started heading back to the truck. It was getting dark and it was overcast when I pulled out the GPS. He was sure it was taking us in the wrong direction but after about 20 minutes things started looking more familiar and we soon saw the truck. I have since always also kept a compass in the case with the GPS and I also keep a business card in the case I loose it. Back in the early 70's we lived in Northern Maine near the border and went out hunting in the forest. We got turned around and soon had no idea in which direction the car was. We could hear the faint sounds of B-52's taking off from the base so we headed in that direction as we lived in the trailer park next to it. That was a long walk.

Where did you get the pork belly?

do it

I use an ultralight setup with 4# or 6# PLine Floroclear line.

Those hills are travel routes and you will see deer going across them at all elevations on well traveled trails during different times of the day. They have a good view of predators when they are in the open.

Isn't it an option for each person added?

And punctuation.

I have a couple of VX-1's and they are click adj. I had a VXll for 25 years and is was friction.

Good shooting Thomas.

So what is that supposed to mean Sean? Dumb it down for me.

His wife has got to be freaking out right now.

A true "Saturday Night Special" LOL

Pretty good deal. I have a Sig barrel for my G22 but haven't put it in for ages. Basically a 9mm Magnum.

Brian has the recipe down pat.
