Will you guys stop with all this innuendo, I've can't light the dynamite!
I'm going to have the first annual AH fish fry/orgy. It should be easy to batter dip them, they will already be in bite size pieces!

just make sure you get the lead out
 
I love to fish. I also always carry a gun with me when fishing. Not for the fish, but back home in Mississippi you were almost as likely to hook a water moccasin as a fish. On such occasions you are significantly better off with a firearm. But an 8mm Mauser??? I own one of those and let me tell you, they are heavy and the kick is nasty. They were made for killing people, and have been adapted for deer, but a fish???? Unless it's jaws, that's overkill on a federal budget scale!

Water moccasins are nasty! And don't forget those lovely copperheads....friendly things.

We have a 410 shotgun my husband calls the "snake charmer" that we take with us.

Never hooked a cottonmouth, but we did pull in some large snappers. Guns were also useful for disposing of large turtles.
 
We don't get moccasins in the water over here, just the occasional welly boot. :rolleyes:

Lou :p

What kind of conservative would I be if I didn't own a closet full of guns? Not to mention my archaic weapons collection. You should see me with the Claymore, it's taller than I am!

I think its a Southern thing, Colly. My husband buys a new gun like he's going out to buy a pack of cigarettes. I lost count years ago.

Can't criticize him too much, tho. I know how to use them just like he does.

I carried a .38 chief's special loaded with semi-wadcutters. I have hooked more cotton mouths than brim on a given afternoon. There is however a danger that our other posters didn't mention.

While fishing off the bank on the Pearl river I saw three gent's in an aluminum John Boat fishing. One of them hooked a cotonmouth and jerked it into the boat with them. All three unlimbered in quick draws that would have done Wyatt Earp proud and proceeded to shoot holes in the bottom of the boat just as fast as they could pull the triggers. They then stood there arguing with each other about whose fault it was as the boat sank.

lol you country girls are a kick I've got 1 gun and a switchblade and as far as I know fish comes packaged gutted and beheaded from the market.
 
My hubby has a 9mm. I havent shot it yet, but I look at it this way, if you're in my house and I point it at you are you going to question me? Especially when I rant like a loon?
I've had this discussion with others and they asked if I could really shoot someone? I said Yes. Don't fuck with my family or my stuff. I worked hard for what little I have and no dumbass, crackhead is going to walk in here and think that they can just take it!!!!!

~A~Picturing Colly in a suit of armour!!!
 
You don't appreciate eating fish till you have caught one, cleaned & gutted it and then cooked it. I can remember being a very small child, out on the back patio with my dad, using a spoon to strip the scales off brim while daddy did all the "yucky" stuff. I was too young even to use a knife.

Odd how years later such memories are more precious than the finest gold.

OMG! The visual I got with that was just too damn funny!

One time a friend of my husband's brought over a 30/06 and we were out in the yard shooting it (long range gun - huge kick).

It had a nice scope on it, and my husband must have been having a slow day or something, cause he puts the scope right up against his eye.

Yep, left a lovely bruise the shape of the scope around his eye for about a week. I laughed every time I pictured him trying to explain that.

I went out with my brother's & cousin once while they "sighted in" the scope on Bryant's new rifle. The first time he fired he screamed, dropped the gun and clutched his face. Had a beautiful cresant shaped cut over his eye. So I got out the first aide Kit, cleaned it up & put a small gause over it.

He proceeded to try again amidst much ribbing and after the second shot repeated the scene, except this time he hung onto the rifle.

My Cousin Jay, one of the worst hecklers grabbed the gun and with a "let me show you how it's done" proceeded to break his nose with it.

I often thought that must have been some scene. 2 guys with blacked eyes and a girl between them riding in a pickup :)

Try watching three bozo's dress out a deer. Oh, sure, we know how to do it. Yeah right. I've seen less blood at "B" horror movies.
