"Grade B Greenbacks"
"WHAT STRUCK ME was that they were damned big trout, and I noticed that on a real pig of, say, five or six pounds, the normally fine, tightly packed pepper spots sort of spread out, as if they’d been painted on a balloon that had then been blown up."

It's from an excerpt we first published nine years ago, and are happy to call attention to it again. Read "Cutthroats."
