Fish scaling machines . .

My uncle was a guide on T Bend. In mid summer, me and dad would go down and fill the coolers with bream and use the machines to scale them. You had to touch them up a little but it was well worth the change you deposited. Some of my fondest memories. It started a fire within me and it's why I own a fishing on Lake Fork today.

Lake Livingston Waterwood Marina. They had the washing machine tub scalers. I remember wondering why you would just wash your clothes and not dry them. Till I learned what it was.
I had totally forgotten about then till now.

Once in my life, I'd have paid to use one of those washing machine scalers...
Me n my cousin bet his dad and my dad we could beat them bream fishing... We were usin' catalpa catapillers (AKA "tobby worms") and were fishin' in the West Log Jamb on B-Dam... wonder if anyone knows what that place is called today...Anyway, we were "snakin' 'em" as they used to say... about as fast as our little Shakespeare pencil sharpeners would wind 'em in... "Man, we gonna put a smack down on them ol' men!!" Deal was whoever caught the most, the others had to clean 'em... Well me n my cousin caught 308 bream!! Had 2 baskets full... We went back to camp and dumped 'em out on a big sheet of tin... My dad and Uncle Louie ... had 311!!! Me n my cousin spent the rest of the day and the better part of the night scaling those suckers!!
...a lesson learned!! To this day, I ain't no bettin' man!
