A little worried about fish.

[RCC]

I had volunteered months ago to supply crappie for a Church cookout coming up this weekend. Due to some recent posts about how few fish I usually catch, which has been absolutely true since the last 2 trips Carol and I have only kept 5 fish and ate all those, I have been worried about having enough fish. March 30th of this year, I emptied the freezer and cooked 38lbs of fillets for the "Church in a day" crew that constructed our Church, so I knew that all we had in the freezer had to be caught since that date. I was hoping for a miracle since it seemed to me that productive fishing trips have been few and far between. I did know that Jesus had experience with fish shortages since He once took 2 fish and 5 loaves and fed thousands (John 11), plus, I also knew that Jesus likes fishermen and sometimes gives them fishing tips like which side of the boat to fish on. Also, he likes fish cookouts since he at least one time cooked fish for his disciples on the shores of the sea (both in John 21). Anyway, we started removing bags of fish from our freezer and placing them into 2 large plastic bags. When we finished, we had a little over 35 lbs in one bag and a little over 25 in the other. I figure we should have about 45lbs less the water weight which should feed over a hundred people. I will be able to rest a bit easier after tonights tally. Thank you Jesus for some great days fishing, and if you did add your catch to ours, I thank you for that too.

If you ever get in a pinch on a Church fish fry feel free to give me a buzz. Most times I'm glad to make room in my freezer .Little buddy always glad to share, been giving away way more than keeping to take home. Seems like I still wind up with more than we need. Like they say it is better to give than recieve and man do I like to give fish , even more so if they are'nt filleted yet!

I fish all year for a family get together every Spring. I don't know how I do it since I catch about 4 or 5 at a trip. It is about time to start keeping everything with 2 eyes and a tail and is bigger than a butterbean.

My finger was on your contact speed dial button just in case the bottom of the freezer came before I though we would have enough fish You know I don't mind cleaning a fish and kind of enjoy a good filleting from time to time whether I caught them or not.

Woooooohoooooo!!! We got er done. Fed 89 souls and had plenty of fish. Let me tell you, that is a whole bunch of Lake P 8 inch slabs. Fortunately we had a couple of Dardanelle 10 inch slabs to supplement the local fare. Ready to catch some more and do it all again.
