Skinning out the fish was my job growing up. He's all but done there. Good eats!
Too nice of a day to not get the boat out and hit the lake for a little fishing.
I was targeting crappie, but it was slow. Right before dark picked up one 10" crappie and three sand bass.
Fresh fish for dinner tonight!

Not the bigguns like you have been getting, but enough for a couple of fish sandwiches and a beer!
lol, I'm on a boat refit break right now. Just mounted some ss hand rails and rod holders for trolling. I also got a killer deal on a Humminbird Helix 12 SI KVD model so it gets mounted next. After that, a new water pump impeller and lower unit service, then I'm off to chase some big boys on the lower Illinois!
I have a Humminbird with down scan in front, and a Lowrance HDS-7 with down/side scan on the console. Like them both. Cable for the Humminbird got a nick in it somehow and I can't get the trolling motor interference out of the screen display. Replacement transducers are stupidly high. 
I've fixed a ton of shielded cables in the past on lots of different equipment, but this one must have an issue in a place I can't see, so its suck up and pay or replace the entire unit, and I don't want to.
Humminbird obsoleted a ton of their fairly recent stuff last year in favor of a rebuild of their entire line of locators. They quit stocking spare parts and accessories for the obsoleted units.
Garmin is trying to get into the market with some high end units priced really reasonably. There is a possibility I might go that way.

I slipped off yesterday to Eufaula for an afternoon of chasing blue cats. We kept 3 blues and 1 channel. Crisco bath coming soon.
