And so the big fish that’s still there is going to grow even bigger.. and next year when we look at your fishing prize, we are all going to be totally blown away;-)
Well it doesn't work that way. That fish on average will grow a pound a week. But around July the stomach will turn hard and wont function. Reason is that it is a 4 year old king salmon. It will go up the river and spawn and die. When the stomach shuts down the skin will start to become brownish and the mouth will start hooking. They start running up the river to spawn starting in Sept.
Here is a 4 year old I caught that was 28lbs. Thankfully the color hadn't started to change but the color is getting darker. You can see the hooked jaw.

Yes. I’ll remove them on most, but keep a “Control” pad or two. The protuberances on your new pads look like cartoon characters in support of Gumby! Ogh no Mr Bill, you’ve squished us!
I remember when I would get myself in such a state of mind and body that I was like a Gumby!??
The good old days ?

I stopped at a home made taco stand the other day where they where advertising tamales... there was a senorita at a counter working on a big pile of those pads... unfortunately they were not ready to open yet and I left with nothing:-(
I want to try them once. But I want to taste them from someone that cooks them regularly. I do know they rinse them after cooking for a while to get rid of possibly tannins. Then finish cooking. I'll bet they're good.

Nope I was but stopped to do corrections..... I’m like in a stock on what I want to be in life....maybe a welder? Idk
Welder isn't a bad one... I visited a project at Kennedy Space Center a few years back, and the people in the project basically said that there were plenty of eggheads around to design stuff, but what they were in dire need of were people who could actually put things together. That was about five years ago, and a welder right out of vocational school could have been making $80K a year there.
