i think i cleaned my first fish when i was maybe 7 or so. i need to dig up the pic.
with catfish my dad would nail them to a tree and skin them, chop off the head. there would be catfish heads on trees which i thought was cool as fuck.
somewhere along the line i learned about germs/bacteria etc and that everything is nasty. if i went fishing i refused to touch anything i didn't have to until i got home and washed off the fishy smell lol.
as a kid i hooked thousand of crickets and worms, didn't bother me. as i got older i found crickets fucking disgusting and worms that won't stop moving when they're cut in half a bit disgusting.
i love meat, shit i'm eating chicken and rice right now. i'm just not much on dealing with blood and bodily liquids if i don't have to. when it comes to fishing i've been using artificial bait for the last 15 years. i catch and release unless somebody else wants to cook fish because i don't care for how they taste. about the only fish i care to eat is yellowfin tuna.
i have no problem shooting animals i deem pests. possum, armadillo, alligator, snake, lizard etc.
i don't hunt deer because i don't care to eat deer. it's amazing how much processing goes into deer meat to make it edible. cubing it, grinding it and mixing it with fat for burger, doing the same but with spice to make sausage, it's stringy as fuck.
maybe i need to take up wild boar hunting. after watching Tim at Military Arms Channel go hunting here in GA i must say that's something that actually interests me. fuck hogs.
