Gutting a fish...totally under rated!

Last weekend I had the blessed opportunity to take my favorite form of transportation (The Salt Lake Express...AKA Hell on wheels!) home to Utah for a weekend out in the mountainous terrain of the Uintahs. I was more than ready for a break from Rexburg, and the people in Rexburg. I got home to Utah and prepared the trailer for our blessed trip. And let me tell you it takes a lot of work and planning to go out camping, especially when the trailer hasn't been out in about 7 years. (That is about to change though, I hope.)

It was a great trip full of fishing, games, fire, food and plenty of bonding time with the fam. One highlight from the trip was when I caught a whopping 15" fish and I sure was proud! I think that my brothers were jealous, but they weren't the ones gutting the fish. We caught a grand total of 35 fish, but threw most of them back. It was a great trip and I got to do my favorite part of fishing....GUTTING THEM. Most people would think that gutting a fish is the most inhumane and disgusting part of fishing....well ladies and gents, I beg to differ. As morbid and grotesque as this may sound gutting out a fish brings a slight grin (well actually a big grin) to my face. I love fishing, I love camping, but I LOVE gutting out those little aquatic specimen.
