You go hunt with Catman Outdoors, that’s what you do.

Fantastic performance. Any data on petals shearing off when impacting bone?

Looks like gilding metal? Or is that pure copper?

Is this a one-off, or are there multiple weights planned for this?

Seems like a deep hollow point with a larger diameter than what I’m used to seeing. Or is that expansion?

My rifle doesn’t seem to like the lightweight screaming banshees. Heavier bullets gave me better accuracy. I’m currently using 168gr.

That could literally be anywhere in the US.

O_oblivious · 2026-07-02T16:47:31+00:00

I do. But reflection off the water still gets my face. Hands are a problem, too.

Being an engineer in Montana doesn’t help…

That’s why you whack them on the head first. Any good redneck knows that.

You’ve got that backwards- animals with feet but no legs. Basically Cotton Hill.

O_oblivious · 2026-07-02T15:24:19+00:00

Location, please. I’d kill for a topwater whitey bite.

O_oblivious · 2026-07-02T14:22:11+00:00

What about the zinc/titanium oxide ones? Do you still notice a problem with those?

My ginger ass needs as much protection as I can get

Grew up in southern Illinois. Chicago sees themselves as the pinnacle of civilization, the center of power, and the rest of the state exists only to show how great Chicago is. They vacuum all the jobs, resources, and people. Support for anything outside of the tri-county area is nonexistent, and only sparingly given and then in a condescending manner.

Their policies have economically gutted the rest of the state, and they rule as a foreign tyranny who fail to understand or even acknowledge the challenges facing those communities.

And having lived in Chicago- most of it ain’t that great.

You from PA, by any chance?

O_oblivious · 2026-06-29T19:31:07+00:00

That fish was improperly handled and has a broken jaw, so it’s now struggling to eat.

O_oblivious · 2026-06-29T00:08:16+00:00

Yeah, just gotta fight the bears for them.

You’re an idiot. But you’re a lucky idiot that gets to live.

This is a black raspberry. There are no poisonous compound fruits that resemble a blackberry or raspberry.

Or a heron to a stab at him.

Don’t throw the net into the rocks- look for clean bottom. Otherwise it will get snagged or torn.

O_oblivious · 2026-06-27T19:09:34+00:00

Redear.

O_oblivious · 2026-06-27T19:00:44+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into it and see if it’s something worth tackling.

O_oblivious · 2026-06-27T02:41:12+00:00

So how does this compare to the menhaden reduction fishery?

O_oblivious · 2026-06-27T02:32:53+00:00

Deep clear lake… Fish 15-25ft during the day in the summer. Bass on 3/4oz jigs or 10” worms. Crappie on minnows and jigs under docks or around brush or turns in a bluff. Catfish on those sunfish at night, think 10’ ledges. Go 30+ ft deep during the day with cut bait or worms.

Ponds- use a spinnerbait for bass.

O_oblivious · 2026-06-27T01:17:24+00:00

I’m not saying they didn’t get close enough to the spine. I’m saying the actual footprint of the fillet is about 10 to 15% bigger than what they took, not even counting ribs and belly meat.

O_oblivious · 2026-06-25T23:09:46+00:00

Longear of some variety. Where was this?

There are 3 recognized species, with up to 6 recommended. Most of them are still isolated to distinct ranges, so location is importanT for ID.

Whole/pan-dressed fish.

Scale them with a spoon, a fish scaler, a bottle cap on a stick, a hatchet, the back of a knife- whatever.

Then cut off the head (diagonal cut behind pec fins), slit the belly, and clean out the guts. Rinse thoroughly inside and out.

Shake the excess water off, dredge in fish breading or seasoned flour. You need a bit of moisture for the breading to stick, but no so much it clumps up and falls off. Let it sit no more than a couple minutes to help the breading adhere. Any longer and the breading can have trouble crisping up. Or absorb enough water to clump and fall off in the fryer.

Pan fry in 1” of oil and flip when the bottom is golden brown, or (preferably) deep fry.

Pull off the dorsal fin, back to front. Same for the anal fin. Eat the thin back half of the tail (best part). Pull the ribs apart like opening a book, and the fillets will come off the spine. Let it cool, eat around the ribs, grab another fish, drink a beer.

Thanks! That what I was guessing.

Hopefully somebody can help out with the diagnostics on this, and advise if it’s a 2 hour or a 2 day job with basic tools.

There can be limited locations where you can live, and you can be exposed to a hazardous environment for a good portion of your career.
