Negative. I smoke 90% of the salmon I catch. I freeze it first to kill off parasites and then it gets cold smoked.

Sure do. I bought a chamber vacuum sealer last year. Love that thing.
My buddy and I got out for a couple hrs before and after work. This was the catch before work.
Went back out after work and got a couple more.

I was hoping to show off some more, but I didn't catch any fish my last trip. I then cancelled my next planned trip. It wasn't just the disappointment; I was also growing tired of the routine and needed some weekends where I could sleep as late as I felt like and not have any responsibilities.
Thanks to Fishinhank and the others who have kept this thread going.
I'll be back on the lakes in September and will hopefully have some more pics to show off. I take all keepers, but want to catch as many Pickerel as I can. Out of all of the fish that I have a realistic chance of landing, the Pickerel are the best tasting. I'll be saltwater surf casting before I hit the freshwater again. I'd like to get some Striped Bass, but the only one I've ever caught was from a boat. Unless conditions are bad, I should catch tons of young Bluefish. The "snappers" are much better tasting than the bigger, oilier adults.
I feel like showing off something, so here is a really cool lure. This Cotton Cordell Wally Diver Triple Threat is an amazing and versatile lure. I've caught Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Pickerel, Yellow Perch, and Pumpkinseed Sunfish with it:

Kings are getting shut down on the 10th so my buddy and I went out today. Did pretty good.
Nice 
Would love fresh fish

I’ll be away from the lakes for a while, but the good news is that Snapper (Young Bluefish) season is upon us. I caught these this morning. I had half for lunch and the rest are in my freezer.
A funny thing happened during one of the school runs where I caught most of them: The local birds kept chasing my “snapper popper” rig as I reeled in. They saw the rubber worm below the surface and wanted the meal. One of them grabbed my line but quickly let go when I started reeling him in!

It's been an awfully cool and trouty summer here. Usually onto the warm water species in the summer,but the cool temps have been great,and have given me the opportunity to travel to all corners of this state. Thousands of miles on the car,hundreds on the legs. Wish I had the energy to post a few hundred photos but a few will have to do.
15 mile hike and fly fishing trip to Forbes State Forest. Carnivorous plant bog at 2900 ft.

It's technically a "Northern Puffer," and more commonly known as a Blowfish. These aren't related to Japanese Blowfish and are safe to eat. In fact, I had it as part of my lunch, along with some of the small Bluefish shown in the other pictures. There isn't a lot of edible meat on these—just the tail, but it is one of the most delicious things you can eat.
That dude must be pretty deep into that 30 rack. He doesn't seem to notice he has a fish on. 
Took a trip out to the historic Hammersley Fork of Kettle Creek. Brutal day with near nil photo ops due to a hurricane.Not sure which one,they are starting to all run together anymore. But severe wind,periods of rain,and gin clear water made it even more difficult than it is recognized to be. Caught 5 in the bad conditions,but when the skies cleared I couldn't even take a step let alone cast without spooking everything within 100 feet.
