My brother sent me the pics of the large brook trout [coaster] he caught north of Grand Marais Minnesota. The fish weighed in at 5 pounds. These brook trout [also known as Coasters] are lake run brook trout and found only on the upper part of the North Shore and up into the Canadian coastal region of Lake Superior. The large brook trout was caught on a spawn bag drifted near the mouth of a stream fishing for steelhead.
My daughter Kim and her husband Erick had our 5th grandchild last Friday morning. What an exciting time for all of us. God has blessed us with the birth of Grace!!! Six pounds and one ounce and almost a full head of hair. Makes for a full house here and we are happy for it.
Canadian bacon goes fast in our house. I make my own and it’s an easy process. Why spend big bucks, when you can make it for 2 bucks a pound. Check out my Smokin Hot page to make your own. Here is a 5 pound piece I smoked a couple of days ago.
What better ways to spend on a cold day than cranking up that smoker. Four hours in the smoker at 190 deg. and the fish reached an internal temp of 155 deg and they were done. Moist and very tasty.
