[quote Vivid-Dawn][font "Courier New"][#000080][size 3]Gotta get up and volunteer for 8 hours at the cat rescue place tomorrow, so I'll have them for dinner tomorrow.

wow, that was horrible grammar. Going to eat the FISH tonight, not the furry kitties! LOL
I have a manual fillet knife...somewhere. I used electric last night. I doubt I'd do any better (probably worse) with a manual.
I have a recipe book that shows how to skin a catfish with the pulling off with pliers method, but it says you're supposed to only do it with bigger fish of 5 pounds or more. I haven't ever gotten anything over 2, so I figure filleting is what I gotta do.
I don't mind a bit of a weird flavor, as long as it's not totally disgusting. I mean, I like stuff like eel and raw octopus (much to my sister's dismay!), so unless it's going to taste like moldy algae or something, I think I could handle it.
I'll probably stick to community ponds for at least another month or so. Syracuse closes at midnight, and everywhere else closes at 10...including Willard! I can't afford to pay for gas AND $16 camping fee for every fishing trip that'll go past closing time. When the sun goes down sooner, and I'll have more fishing time, I'll try more places then. I decided that evening is better...fish are 'waking up' and hungry. I tried going to Syracuse a few mornings, and never got any bites at all. Besides...watching moonrise is nifty - like the one last night? AMAZING!!!
No back surgery. Too risky for the strain on my heart. I'm both disappointed (I wanna be fixed!) and relieved...hate recovering from 'em.[/size][/#000080][/font]
