Where in the world is Eli Foster?

On the first day of Fall Break, where in the world was Eli Foster?

A.  Sleeping in until 8 in his nice, warm bed? 

B.  Waking up at 5AM to go fishing on Old Hickory Lake? 

C.  Playing video games while everyone else slept? 

Drumroll please...

Answer B!  Eli started his Fall Break off with a bang and went fishing with the beloved, Carl Bean...

A rare moment with Carl Bean and MG...and I actually had my camera to capture it! 

...I am coming to the conclusion that I am becoming a fisherman's wife...I better learn how to clean and gut fish real fast!  I love fish, and I am excited about eating it fresh...just not totally excited about gutting fish in my own kitchen...

I love our local butchers...and I guess it's time to finally pick their brains about gutting fish before my freezer becomes a little too full with Eli's catches...here we go!

Can anybody offer any fish gutting tips and techniques...I'm all ears...
