I don't know how they taste, but they are pretty good fish bait, once you get them out of their shells. Well, I don't use 'em for that, but I have seen it done.
My kids used to like catching them for pets too, when they were younger.
One night, in college, my brothers and I went frog gigging in a canoe. We only had one gig, so also took along a baseball bat and a net, both worked good on the bull frogs, we got a lot of them. The frogs taken with the bat didn't look as pretty as the gigged ones, but the legs still tasted as good, once we got them fried.
Blue crabs are wonderful.
I don't know this show...
luck of the draw...
next duty station will not be in a pleasant location his next assignment will pro'ly be in Yemen, or Kazakstan or fargin' Sudan or some other messed up $#!thole...
Well, he's got a sheath knife waiting for him if he ever wants one.
No apologies necessary!
I love seafood and will continue to eat crustaceans until I die (or develop an allergy to them). *grin*
Just not my lil' hermies.
I haven't bothered to make a South Park angel g'nad like corin has or I'd post it here...
Bangor has got to be some pretty good duty. I've been there, in a former life. They take security pretty serious there. Not a sense of humor to be found.
But it's pretty close to Bremerton, which is good for a squid town. Also easy to get to some pretty groovy little towns. Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Sequim, and little ol' Gig Harbor.
Probably. I'll bet his mom's relieved that he's Stateside for now, at least.
hadtuh clean muh monitor after that one...
I can't imagine sticking a hermit crab on a hook. It just ain't right. :-/
And frog legs ain't bad at all! I usually drive down Tamiami and stop at The Pit BBQ to get gator tail and frog legs when the mood strikes. Yum, yum!
Shoulda taken Flat Frodo there when I took him to Shark Valley that day.
that'll be nice... but I'll wait fer him to get his 2nd "reality check" $#!thole assignment fer that...
you duh man...
no probably about it... in MSG, yuh get one $#!thole fer one good tour...
I haven't seen his mom since he got his orders, but I'm sure she was on her knees thanking God...
Good grief, no wonder we kilt 'em.
Course those goth teenagers in the junk shops at the beach didn't know what to tell us...
I'm still hoping to get an aquarium going.
If I get the time...
And the space...
And the money...
There's always Adak.
Good Marines EM club there, and that's where visiting Coasties like to go. The Marines built their own club to get away from the squids at the Navy EM club.
Adak Island. Population about 200. One truck, no trees, no roads, no civilians, no stores, no nothing and lots of it.
But two bars. Somehow it fits into the great balance of things.
Did you catch this hilarious picture of a freeper fishing at Flamingo on the other thread?
That's a croc he has on the line, btw.
I tried the fresh water aquarium thing a while back, remember? It was just WAY too time-consuming and expensive for me to keep up.
I still have my bettas though. They are easy fish to keep.
All 3 of the "Rat Pack" bettas have died. Sammy Davis Jr died a year ago from bloat and Frankie and Dean died of old age within a week of each other less than a month ago.
I miss 'em.
They were all replaced, of course. I now have Fred Astaire, Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy Stewart. :-D
Ooops!
Funny, I bet he doesn't want that thing on the line.
We're hitting the couch, see everyone later!
