Looks like a red slider, to me. Did he bite a baited hook?
I have desert tortoises, they can't swim, sink like a rock.
I also have a desert box turtle. He is especially shy, I don't see him from one week to the next.
The tortoises come to dinner when I bang two rocks together; a stampede, tortoise style.

PS what do you think of the perch? As good as the sunfish, or no? Sunfish are very bony, that's the only downside.

Not sure of the correct name for them.. We just call them painted turtles. There are about 15 of them sitting on a tree I pushed over with the excavator and into the water. Was ment to be a resting place for the ducks but the turtles have seem to take it over..
For some reason this turtle liked to sit in the middle of a dirt road and sun itself or perhaps it was on its way into a field to lay eggs, as I noticed the other day there were some doing this along the edge of the bank.
The perch are'nt too bad, but there is'nt much meat there after you fillet (Dan check spelling) them out so I don't eat them much..
The sunnies are pretty good if you scale them out and gut and behead them, this way it leaves you with more meat and if cooked right you just peel the meat off the bones and end up with a nice little skelaten just like with the bullheads...
My favorites are still Walleye, Rainbow trout cooked in a microwave or Salmon in the oven..
One year up on the lake with my Dad icefishing we decide to stay a extra day on the lake but ran out of hamburger so I set a house up on a sunfish hole and fished for sunnies till dark. Ended up catching enough big ones to make a meal so my Dad fried them on the fish-house stove in butter.. Was pretty good that nite... ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I'm with you on walleyes. Minneesota people always rave on walleyes, but they are not that easy to catch. Rainbows? First of all, we have at least 4 or 5 strains of rainbow trout in the eastern Sierras. The one with orange flesh, (like a salmon) is probably the best tasting, but I do not think any of them are all that great.
I like swordfish and halibut and Mahi Mahi.... and calico bass is very good, much better than a large mouth. Walleye is about the only decent fresh water fish, if you ask me and I'm not a real enthusiastic fish eater, in the first place. Generally, like game, I give most of it away.

Back in the 70's you could get halibut coverd with a lemon and butter sauce in a T.V. dinner and was pretty darn good. Wonder why they stopped makeing them?? About once or twice a month is good enough for me when it comes to eating fish... Pickled Herrig is good dureing the winter month's and well usually have a jar of it on hand and at times will go through one once a week or more depending on if I can keep my son from finding it...

Yeah, my dad used to buy that stuff, it's in square chunks and soft, and I never cared for it. But he also used to buy a dried whitefish, all brown so I suppose it was smoked. Now, that was very good, but the pickled herring; I have not tasted it since we blew town in 1955. I used to eat something called kippered snacks, also something my dad drug in the door, and very small sardines, had to be a certain brand. I quit eating sardines when it occurred to me that the guts were still inside. Yuk!
gh....lb
PS, I think halibut is damned near $20 a pound, probably a good reason why they substituted some white trash fish?

Not English. Actually, I think it's Swedish and mostly Norwegian, with a name like Anderson you have to be a Swede? That's what they call Minneesota, "Little Sweden".

Leonard I grilled some mahi mahi last week along with talopia and frying some large mouth bass. The mahi mahi I baisted with butter and lime, a little pepper, it was good.

I used that word for your benefit. Hawaiian origin. Actually, we call it "Dorado". The Mexicans use all the Hawaiian names like Ahi and Wahoo, but not Dorado.

edit: actually again, I think damned near any fish tastes better battered and deep fried.

A little of both actually, with a little bit of Mo. hillbilly mixed in.
Speaking of Mo. I had some relatives come up this spring that I have'nt seen in a long time. I found out they are into cattle big time and have some land in Shaws area as well as "whats his name" so I may plan for a trip down there in the future and call a few of there coyotes..

The crappie down our way are really good eating. It seems the ones that come out of deep, rocky lakes are better than the shallower lakes with sandy bottoms. Walleye still rank right at the top for good eating though.

If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.
