We had something come up and won't be able to make it this year.

We were really looking forward to being there for the GREAT fellowship, fish and other good foods.

Jeff's event got cancelled so no catfish fillets

If Matt and I need to bring crappie, let us know so we can put some lines in the water

Mike & Phillip, what does the fish count look like. Do we need more?

[Tmag]

We are in!

[Texas Grown]

I tried to post earlier while in the Dr's office. But somehow TapaT wouldn't let me.


Anyway, I sent Philip a PM. And waiting on a reply to see if he and his family are going to come this year. I've got 30-35lbs of fillets right now, frozen in water for freshness. And I haven't yet began to spring fish this year. So, I've still got room for more to bring if need be. I'll be stocking up on fish anyway . But I'd much rather let others bring what they can so that everyone has a chance to contribute in some way. I have other resources, if it came down to it, as well.



A lot of what we will need in fillets will depend on how many show up/sign up for this Bownanza. There has been only 1 Bownanza where we ran out of fish. Think that was in 2021 or 2013. But we had over 750 peeps show up for that Bownanza too. We cooked over 160lbs of fillets alone when we ran out of fish at 1PM. Most folks at that one got some fish at some point. Many came back for 2nds and 3rds. It seems that the rest of the Bownanzas since the induction of Team Fish Head in 2008, we have always had fish in excess, with some years not even cooking 1/2 of what was available.



I don't know how accurate it is, but I heard there were a few fish that didn't get fully cooked at the last one two years ago. It's just what I heard. I do know we cooked larger pieces that usual. So that might have had something to do with it. To remedy, we might look at going back to the smaller pieces this time, just to make sure it's cooked fully. And as Clint will tell you, if the temp is not right, and just because it's golden on the outside, don't mean it's done. Sometimes we gotta leave it in there for just a minute or two longer. If the oil is to hot, and the fillets are to large, it won't get fully cooked by the time it looks done. So lets step it up a notch. I know Clint knows when to gettem out of the grease. If he steps back in, I might let him overlook the fish cookers and their chefs. Otherwise, we might have to change our name next year to "Team Sushi" .


And if we should for some reason "run out of fish", well then, maybe those that missed out shouldn't have been slacking, "Slackers" (as Mayor Mary would refer to them as).

[Texas Grown]

It's good to see some "long timers" trickling back in here too! Welcome back all!


I don't like to use the term "Old Timers". Because, you can be a member. But not be old.

[Texas Grown]

Sorry for the delay gang. I've had some stuff going on in life. And been really busy even after work and on some weekends. I will get it done soon! I promise.

That's the good news I wanted to hear. We need our team Captain!

[Texas Grown]

I forgot we had the month of March between this weekend and Bownanza. And I'm claiming my GOF rights on forget-n that.

If you need a ride down there and back, I'll probably be making it a one-day trip down and back. You're welcome to ride with me.

[CletusBodeen]

Pretty sure I’m coming to nanza this year. Not sure if I’ll be any help with the team since I’ll have to wrangle the almost 4 yo autistic turkey.

[CletusBodeen]

Stealing my coffee as usual.

[Jerry H]

I finally made it to retirement and now doing what I love.
I have a booth at 1st Monday in Canton and will need to be there on this date so I won't be able to make it to NANZA.

Y'all have fun

[SaltwaterSlick]

Oh no Jerry!! Say it ain't so!! Sure gonna miss you (and that trailer full of stuff)!!

[Texas Grown]

Hate to hear that Jerry! Been wondering how you've been.


Looking forward to seeing ya Clint!

[Texas Grown]

I've still got a canopy, a 3 basket fryer, and a few tables. And some fish. Less than 60 peeps signed up for name tags so far.

That trailer and stuff was actually purchased years ago to allow me to do what I am doing now

For me to ever make another NANZA it will have to be on a second weekend. I have shows on 1st Monday at Canton and 3rd Monday at Southfork Ranch.

Gotta make a living

When I get time we need to go drown a few minners

[Clint]

It looks like I’m out this year.
That’s the same day as a very important fundraiser banquet we buy a table at every year.
ROCK Ride on Venter for Kids here in Georgetown.
They provide equine therapy to disabled kids and vets.

I’ll gladly send my fryer and tater cutter down if anyone is coming from this direction.

Hate to hear you're not gonna be there Clint. But totally understand. My niece has Asperger's. And participated in an equiqe riding program as a youth to get her to socialize more and understand the concepts of responsibility. The logic side of her brain at 8 years of age was not functioning as well as it should. But she was reading anything and every thing she could get her hands on. Reading side gave her a 9th grade level reading skill level at 8 yoa due to the pictorial side of the brain's function. But logic, like math skills, or outcomes of situations, was marginally low. She's in her mid 20s now. And still has problems. It's been a slow process. But still improving. She did graduate High school. And communicates well now. Rock Ride on sir!

[TD2000]

Mike

Rustled Again and I will be bringing approximately 20 lbs of crappie filets. Let us know if you think we need to bring more. Been a good season of fishing.

TD

[Texas Grown]

That should be good Tom. I've got some I'll be bring also, just in case. If we run out, well, they shouldn't have been slack-n.




I know it's gonna get missed. But since it looks like our team will be short handed this year, we might skip make-n the hush puppies. And just serve some taters with the fish.
