This Mud Mutt needs a comp finish option...
...But no color selection and thicker stock last time. To me this is a worthwhile endeavor.Would be even better in thin Elmax with the potential to be a great all-around saltwater blade.
SR101 + comp finish = rust, no?
I had to get one of these for my Hawaii Fishing Trips...Because Jerry doesn't make one....Bubba Blades 8CR13MOV stainlessIt certainly is!![]()

Ouch... It pains me to watch these people "process" these beautiful fish... SO MUCH WASTE.I had to get one of these for my Hawaii Fishing Trips...Because Jerry doesn't make one....Bubba Blades 8CR13MOV stainless

It's like killing a cow just for the tenderloin... There's so much of the fish that is absolutely delicious if you'd just pay attention...
Certain cultures will do more with what our culture considers waste. Just like why is it a culture pays Thousands for Shark Fin...When we hook a shark we cut it loose to live another day.Ouch... It pains me to watch these people "process" these beautiful fish... SO MUCH WASTE.

Yeah Tom we catch some nice big Tuna and Ono(Wahoo), Mahi-Mahi of course but catch other fish as well...Yeah Man Halibut in the 300 lb range are HUGE and I've had the smaller ones around 30lb Chicken Halibut they call them, One of my Favorites!!! They Catch those whoppers up there in Kachemak Bay Homer Alaska my son used to Skipper a boat there for my brother in law...They Have a Halibut Derby pays pretty good if you're Lucky enough to catch the Fish of the Week, Month, Year!!!!Busto, I hope you catch fish as big or bigger in Hawaii!That video reminded me of when we went to Alaska in 1990 and watched them process halibut when the boats came in. Man, they were GOOD!

If you are just out fishing with a friend or family and bloody the deck with a Tuna this size in Hawaii nothing goes to Waste...Ohana comes into play where the entire fish is divided up for the family...When we take out charters they just want the meat!Even if we're not talking antiquated delicacies, even with "just" tuna, the head, the collar, oh my goodness... so much awesomeness going on their if you just roast it with some sea salt. So juicy and tender.
And just in general, we grew up eating the whole fish - none of this skittishness about seeing the eyeballs or being able to recognize the fish. (obviously you can't really serve the WHOLE damn tuna .... you're not feeding 20 families at once.) But the idea that even smaller fish like perch or trout HAS to be filleted (and only eat the fillet), and how people fillet creates so much waste that just gets discarded... ugh... breaks my heart. Just gut and scale the thing and cook the whole thing! (roast, bake, grill, sear, etc.)
Yeah, I have friends who can't even eat chicken with bones still attached (wings, etc)... only detached breasts or fillets or nuggets or tenders or whatever. They can't do it 'cause it would remind them it was an animal and once alive... What kind of world are we living in, where people can't, or are unwilling to, connect their foods to the sources?![]()
