Yote, I brined this one over night with salt and brown sugar, little lighter on salt on this one than usual, trying to cut down a little there... Anyway I think your fat comment is probably right on target... I did smoke this one for 6-7 hours and it had cooked fairly well, not much soft stuff mostly jerky like... Appreciate your tips on the subject I know you have done your share of it so I trust your recommendations... Probably still going to stick with deep frying for now... or releasing since I don't mind more kittens in the pond.... Funny how the cats have seemed to relocate this year I sure can't find many of them yet, but it seems others are really killing them this year... May have to try other waters until the temperatures warm up and stay up... Not sure if this weekend is going to work for Porcupine or not, sounds pretty stormy and I don't like the thoughts of the marginal launch with wet conditions at all... I'll keep watching and see what happens... Maybe cool conditions will slow the run off and Hyrum might fish well this weekend??? Catch ya later... J
