Granted, he at surface in about 10 min. There was a lot of superficial damage to his face from jig smashing into his grill. Is it possible that I was drawing his mouth closed and it suffocated him? Well, this is my first harvested, not my first caught. Hopefully, my last harvested. Free pick up in Burbank, if anyone is interested. Neighbors will take some. I decapitated him immediately after gaffing. Severed the tail off to bleed out both ends. Hopefully to reduce the urination and gamey taste. |
I'd like to try it out. I'm just 10-15 mins north of you in Mission Hills. Sent you a PM with my contact info.
