Well done on the record Fire. There is no better feeling than a fish at the other end of a fly rod.

WOW that's a small waters fish and a half on any tackle!

And for the person who asked, they taste great to me! You have to trim off the bitter "blood line" from the fillets (demonstrations on Youtube).

The best way to do it take a filet knife and make a V-cut at the end of the red flesh then unzip it. It greatly makes the filets better.

Thanks guys and gals.

Just for clarity, the HSB was 2# over the record, but I did not submit it to the state. I'm not sure how other states handle fish records, but TX has 4 basic categories. TX recognizes state records for both public and private waters, and each has an option for conventional tackle or fly fishing.

To submit a record, you have to fill out the paperwork, and have the fish weighed at a state certified weigh in location. I always take a net and baby scale when I'm fishing for something other than CNBG, but I probably would have killed that fish if I had tried to haul it to the shop to get a transport tank.

Still a few years left, so I'm happy she's still growing in our pond. Taking a chance on killing her wasn't worth a piece of paper.


HSB is very good to eat when the red is cut out.

Wow - nice HSB. Why not go for the record? James has an unusually productive water filled with forage and feeders.

Eric, Jame's HSB are pretty much the TX gold standard for me. I wouldn't feel right submitting that fish knowing it was a JV award. If I had known what the current record was, I would probably submitted it if a guest or my better half had caught it.

I'll get there, I love a challenge.
