First Fish of the Year

On New Year's Day, we were invited by our neighbors to have dinner with them on their boat. We drove out to one of the seven lakes within twenty minutes of our front door and took the boat out to a spot on the lake where the water is heated by geothermal vents. This is Lizzie and Olivia in the cab as we pulled out from the dock.
The sand is hot enough on parts of the beach that you can cook a fish by burying it for forty minutes. After dinner we pulled out the fishing poles, and I caught the biggest trout I've ever seen in person. The fish here have no natural predators, so they grow to enormous sizes. Here's me with my fish!
And after mucking my way through cleaning, filleting, and deboning the fish, here's the outcome!
