There’s nothing quite more southern or summer than a day spent on the banks of a farm pond, catching a mess (in our case – a LARGE mess) of fish, then taking it home to clean, fry and eat alongside southern fried hushpuppies and homemade slaw. If a day gets much better than this one, I’m not sure what it would be. Watch below to see our girl slay the day and my attempt to slay in the kitchen what was un-filleted. From pond to plate, we caught some great memories and a really good meal.
