My wife fried up some filets last night. They were delicious!!
We also cook them on the grill. On foil with butter and some spices. Fantastic..
Sixty filets will go pretty fast. They say the spawning season at Mark Twain runs for about six weeks, moving west to east, shallower to deeper water. I hope to get out at least one more, maybe two more times.
Thanks

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
