Somewhere between 5 and 10 min fight

Love the varieties I can catch in a 1 hour session. Didn’t take pics of the sunfish since they were small and the suns not out to show off their iridescent blues. I think they were long ear sunfish but they were too young.

Finally checked this off my bucket list, hopefully I visit more places with smallmouth. This was on the Buffalo River TN. Using the Biutifu Traveler XUL, Miravel 2000, 4lb Nanobraid with floro leader.

Got smallmouth on the Buffalo River TN. These were the 2 biggest I caught. There were more smaller but I was using a 1/32oz spinner, so tiny lure.

Got this amazing looking small cote de bouef/bone in ribeye.

best before date still 5 days to go.

As it already was vacuümedsealed I put directly in the sous vide for 2hrs at 52c.

I seared it and let it rest for 10 min..

Than I cut it ... And I smelled it.. it had a unpleasant, a bit sour, fertilizer/cow shit smell to it.

I recognized this smell from a long time ago when meat was rotten because the fridge died. or at least it started to rot as the Colour was also changing.

​

So i did not eat it. I tried small piece, few chews but I didnt like it and spit it out.

​

I asked Chat and it said that best doing souse vide to put it first few seconds in boiling water to kill some germs and could have prevented the smell.

​

What are your thoughts?

​

Btw.. got my money back from the store. But my steak night was ruined.

Like winning the lottery! Ordered one, got a whole ‘case’ of 4! Wishing I’d ordered 2 now lol

This years spawn for sure!
