Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Novelty Catch?

Hi Poppy65,

My only experience is eating Drum from the Kishwaukee River in my area. The water is super clean, semi-fast moving over a gravel bottom with a few deeper holes. I can't vouch for Drum out of the Wabash. I went to school at Purdue a bazillion years ago and I remember the Wabash as deep and muddy.

With that said, I would definitely try them but would stick to the smaller ones (less than 16) and have a cooler standing by to get them in ice water as soon as I catch to maximize the flavor and texture.
