I was able to get out and do some fishing the past two days. Used huge bait a caught huge fish. Got about 4 other 16 inch ones but only took pics of the 18+ inches ones. The one by the rod was caught on 4 pound line. I was going for bluegills and crappie with a lure and got him.the pic of sunnies was 14 inches long.

Peyton,
I wish you a speedy recovery.
When I fell and broke my collar bone, the doctor asked, when did you break it the last time?
Ah, I did?
Oh yeah, I remember that tackle, my shoulder hurt for a week, I couldn’t lift my arm past horizontal.
Never had it checked.

A lot of people do not like the taste of fresh water fish as they can taste a bit muddy.
Fillet and skin them and soak in milk overnight in the fridge.
Rinse and dry off, season, dip in flour and shake, shallow fry in a good quality oil. DO NOT OVER COOK.
Fish has no connective tissue so as soon as the flesh is set its cooked, any more and it dries out.
for a really excellent taste throw some salted butter in a hot pan and let it sizzle till in starts to go light brown, quickly throw some lemon juice in and shake, then around a teaspoon of fresh chopped parsley and tip instantly over the fish.

*An Airbus 380 is on it's way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2 appears.*
*The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it?*
*Now have a look here !*
*He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was that?"*
*The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now you look !"*
*The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly stubbornly straight, with the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?"*
*Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?" The AirBus pilot laughs and says, "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the bathroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry.*
*The moral of the story is:*
*When you are young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great.*
*But as you get older and wiser you learn that comfort and peace are more important.*
*This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older, but Smarter.*
*Dedicated to 'All My Friends' who are like me, now realising that it is time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.*

If your a mtb"er your likely to be an above average achiever in this regard. I'm over 60 and still riding, in fact just picked up a new Yeti SB130. But I am a conservative rider and haven't exceeded the average bone count by very much.
For an alternative view on your broken bones Ill recount an anecdote a local Physio told me. Its much easier to get someone going after a broken bone than working with someone who is middle aged, has put on a lot of weight due to poor diet and lack of exercise , and is developing associated medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure.
Don't let this accident put you off, keep up the riding. its a lifetime of fun and exercise.
