Post by: Xgolfman on August 01, 2006, 12:52:27 PM: I would have kept it if i was going to keep one that is...i'm assuming this one came in darker and turned chromer? If the flesh felt firm then i would say it's a keeper...

Post by: Big Steel on August 01, 2006, 06:19:51 PM: Anyhow, here is the reason I kept that fish. First, it put up a hell of a fight. Second, I had always been told that a Vedder Spring with a bit of color on them are fine as long as the meat is firm. Which this one was. I had never kept on before, so I was wondering what the taste would be like compared to the Fraser Reds. Now I know, and I was not dissappointed. Would I keep another one, only time will tell. But, I don't get to the Vedder much at all in the Summer. So the run is pretty safe from me!!
Another strange fact was, that the fish actually chromed up, like a bar after it was on the beach a couple min, and stayed that way. But we were to lazy to retake the pics. ??? Guess we shouldn't have been, thus this whole thing would not have gotten started over there!! ;D

Post by: THE_ROE_SLINGER on August 01, 2006, 07:35:28 PM: however you did brightin up the picture ;D ;D ;D, I think the real reason why you kept it is becasue you dont catch many fish and you wanna take advantage of the ones you do catch ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Post by: Big Steel on August 01, 2006, 07:37:55 PM: You got me!!

I know, I know, it is really sad, but I am still trying to get my own, really I am!! ???
