From swimming to dinner

Friday was the first time in a long time that I had a chance to get out on the water. It was a great day of conversation with a buddy and frequent interruption by a bouncing rod. Most were in the 15" range but did manage this one, 4.5 lbs brute.



It immediately went into a soy sauce and brown sugar brine upon returning home. Yesterday, it went into the smoker with some apple & cherry wood. Smoked for a little over an hour and then glazed with a brown sugar and maple syrup paste. Put back in the box for another 15 minutes to set the glaze.

    Good looking fish, Dave!

    My record was a 23 lb brown trout that fed 5 of us.

    SuperDave: That is a great looking fish, both on the hook and on the plate!

    In Minnesota, we get out on the water this time of year, but it looks like this::)



    And then when the spring fishing opener comes, it sometimes looks like this:
