Thorton Stripers.... 45 & 38 lbs in a half hour!!

[Blue4spd]

Blue4spd, It is pretty cool that we have a butcher on the boards. I would think that someone as professionally trained as you, regarding beef, would know that all store bought beef is from young bulls? They don't sell meat from female cows (dairy cows) in retail stores. So yes, a female dairy cow has a filet, but you, nor I, would ever have the opportunity to eat one, unless we slaughtered our own beef. That being said. Why don't you just go fishing, catch a 50 lb striper. Take a picture of it, kill it, eat it and post it on the boards and tell me that it tasted as good as a smaller one. By the way, that is what we are really talking about. Have a nice day.

Hey Vito. I was just asking if any of the guys who were posting facts about the taste of 40 + lb fish had tasted one. Or if they were just repeating something they had heard from the grapevine.
I think I have the answer. ;D
BTW. Since stripers are not milked and you say female dairy cows are not sold in stores, why would you use that analogy :-?

My question for you ( except Winch ) is. How many of you have been close enough to one to eat it? ;D ;D

saw one in a book once.....oh yeah I forgot, I saw one on the pier at TI.(Treasure Island)they said it went 40+ pounds it was bigger than me and I would not go near it, :'(I was 11 back then in 1968.....my dad released it back into the bay. 8-)

For the uninformed.
The term "filet mignon" is a French derivative, the literal meaning is small (mignon) bone-less meat (filet). Cut from the small end of the beef tenderloin.
So that dried up, milked out, steroid fed dairycow has plenty of it too. Have you tried it ;D ;D
