Pinks Do You Eat'em?

Down here in Texas in summer it's time for using the ice chest, it's way too hot to think about the live well and the troubles that has! Heck even we use a little ice in the minnows water to help cool the water and keep them living.

I always put my fish on ice, regardless if it's 30 deg. or 90 deg. outside, I always have ice in the cooler when fishing. I don't use the livewell unless I'm culling fish in the colder months.

pink salmon are considered bait in Alaska btw

I will not eat a pink fish, Use Ice as if it is free. A cooler half full is a good place to start . One bag in the July/ August temps here in Just is not enough .

to put fish at this time of year anywhere but straight to the ice is just not the ticket as far as I am concerned
livewells and buckets and stringers are for much cooler water

You got that right!

My dad was a butcher, owned a meat market, and I grew up with a knife in my hand, so I'm pretty anal about caring for and processing my fish and game.

I've seen people drag stringers full of dead fish around a lake all day, during the hottest days of summer, then take them home to eat.

I've also seen people treat their harvested deer about just as bag. SMH!

Makes my skin crawl!

That's just sad. Can only hope that what goes around comes around for People who do that kind of crap.
