My strange catch

[Sluggoslinger]

Monk Fish AKA poor mans lobster.

The only good meat is in the tail. You cut the tail off and then skin it like you would an animal.

Its a nice firm white fish. I personally pass on it after catching them commercially for a couple years.

We used to get about 6,000lbs of those a day off the shelf 70 miles south of the vinyard. My hands still have scars from those little bastards, they also trash oil gear and boots like nothing else...

Yes there is one thing I can't seem to catch ........ A 10lb tiger musky lol.........I eneded up cutting out the loins on that fish. It was much easyer to do then I thought. i figured id end up butchering it but they came out good. I wish it had not been such a crappy day, I would have loved to have taken a few more pictures.
