Ode to the Toad!

HOLWACHAGOT · 10-23-2006, 01:15 PM

Let's see the Toads! I am starting this thread in honor of the Toadfish. I am certain I would rather look at Toadfish pictures than read about Sharks and Cheatin. Here goes the first one. Truly a beauty!

CAN ALL PARTS OF THIS FISH BE HANDLED BY THE UNCOVERED HAND

? IS THERE ANYTHING UNDESIRABLE ABOUT HANDLING THIS UGLY BLOB THAT A NEWBIE SHOULD KNOW?

DON"T GET THE SLIME IN YOUR EYE!!!!!! Made that mistake once and was F'uped for three days. blurry vision, and mild burning.

I always refer to them as "Mother - in - Law fish"

Undesireable...UH...It is very undesirable to have any appendages end up in the toads mouth

. The somviches have some serious snappin power. Holwachagot!

I have heard getting stuck with a spine is not going to feel good - I have heard a rumor about a mild toxin used to deter bigger fish. Good just be an old wives tail though.

I have always just dealt with them using the longest pair of pliers I can find and shaking them off.

HOLWACHAGOT · 10-23-2006, 02:30 PM

In all seriousness, I grab em bare handed if need be. They are just slimey.

BYRD, were you kidding about the slime messing your eyes up or serious?
