Yeah. Everyone should visit this cite at least once. You must do the birthday challenge to see which Florida man you are based on the headlines from your birthday. I apparently ate a bowl of chicken wings, refused to pay, and pulled out my penis... Seems reasonable.

We stay in Clewiston, south end of Lake Okeechobee, and drive south each day about 45 mins. You catch bream, Oscar, Mayans and we caught some fish this year I couldn't identify. No limits on the exotics and they are as good eating as crappie. I take my old man and we quit everyday at 2PM or 200 fish, whichever comes first. We always go in early April before it is too hot.

Between our group each day we take about 500-600 fish per day to Juan. Juan cleans our fish and if Juan wasn't there then I wouldn't go each year.

As a kid at deer camp, I ate way too much Vienna sausage and Dinty Moore Beef Stew. In a legit starve or eat it scenario, I'd eat it again, but not under any other circumstances.

No Clark... We would be honest. I have full confidence you can pickup Chick-fil-A and serve chicken strips on a candlelit white table cloth setting like it's nobody's business. The real question is around the drinks.. Rose' or White Claws?

Thanks to the money you’ve made me, both. And we getting extra sauces too, baby! (Just by asking, because Chick-fil-A is really nice.. but, we as Ole Miss fans love an unnecessary flex)

Won't be grilling but rather frying some Oscar fish we pulled from the Everglades, and yes it will be poolside. I'm sure the ladies in attendance, after about 4-5 Trulys, will be more than happy to participate in a photo session. Bonus points for hush puppies and tater tots??

Additionally, I have all the seasoning from Meat Church except for Deez Nuts. I can't find that stuff anywhere, no pun intended.

DM me your address and I’ll mail you a bottle.

That’s incredible! My jealousy is immense

Knew a girl long ago from Thibodaux LA that could make the best crawfish etouffee and jambalaya but she never did do red beans and rice.
I asked her one time why not?
Her reply- Why would I waste my time doing that when I can go down the street and get the best there is at Popeye’s ?
Nuff said!

I have been to Popeye's 1.7 million times and never gotten the red beans and rice. I always got the dirty rice or cajun mashed potatoes. I will be procuring said red beans and rice on my next trip to see what the fuss is all about.

Fish steaks in Louisiana hot sauce, starkist lemon pepper tuna creations garnished with sriracha, all on top of ritz crackers (the store Near where I evacuated to was out of saltines). with a side of baked flavored beanee weenees with a Louisiana hot sauce floater.

hot sauce doesn’t spoil if your fridge goes out.

Probably will be working Saturday so I’m thinking bologna and cheese sandwich with Mayo, Dr Pepper, and some kind of chips.

It's just the two of us and I am still off the foot as much as I can so it will be hamburgers, fries in the Fry Dady, with an assortment of raw veg and cocktail sausages to eat our homemade dips.

She declined on showing her rack for you guys so we are out of the contest before we had a chance to start. Whatevah

There is no limit and we typically catch about 200/day in about 4-5 hours. We also catch another species, Mayan Cichlids, and both are fantastic to eat.
What you catch them on? Bet they’d take a fly. That would be fun. They fight ok?

They average about 1lb and fight like a 5lb bass. I break 2-3 heavy duty fiberglass slab slayers each year if that helps describe how much they fight. If you look at the pics I posted you'll notice that I'm using #2 stainless offshore hooks because they will bend or straighten basic freshwater hooks.

We use crickets but they will literally hit a bare hook and they hit as fast as you can put your hook in the water. Some of the guys we go with throw rooster tails just to change it up and you'll catch more variety but not as many.

I'm in SC, but you can walk up to any canal in Miami behind any house or neighborhood and catch Oscars, and usually several other species.

I had one by itself in an aquarium for a long time. I would walk into the room the aquarium was in and he would start going crazy anticipating a feeding. I could put crickets, earthworms, moths, anything in there and he would destroy it and cause major waves in the aquarium while doing so. He looked like a big ole bream in there. Couldn't put any other fish in there smaller than he was because he would kill them in no time.

It’s hard to believe you’ve been that many times and not gotten it. I mean...I fully believe you never ordered it. Just can’t believe you didn’t get it anyway, considering the source.

Give me some rag bologna or some thin sliced salami, hoop cheese, and a pack of saltines and I’m in heaven.

There is not much better than that if it is the real thing fresh cut at some country store at some intersection in Mississippi. The official lunch of Mississippi deer hunters for years.

Got bad news player, they discontinued dirty rice https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/popeyes-cajun-rice-discontinued-2021-menu

Their red beans are good and normally my choice of side, but anyone saying they are as good as homemade has never had well-made red beans.

Haha. Yeah, you'd think I would have accidentally gotten some in my bag. I mean they do rate a -4 out of 10 in customer service.

I won't be able to play this week as I'm heading to my buddy's annual college football kickoff on the lake called "MEATFEST".... no, it's not a sausage party, but there will be plenty of meat, bourbon, and beer.

Two big screen TVs on the dock, a kegerator, ladies in their swimwear, and Mississippi State football. Can't beat it.

Wish I could upvote ^^^ x 10...

My brother used to have one years ago. And you're right, those things go freaking crazy when they think they're about to get food. And you can't keep another fish in the tank or he'll eat them.
