Thanks for all the input. The one I caught last year was a monster 16 incher and it tasted excellent! That one was out of a smaller and more turbid pond. The one I caught over the weekend was from a larger, clear pond. I'll cook it up tomorrow and let you know how it tasted. I know it has been in a pond with lots of muskgrass which could make the fish pretty nasty but i'll hope for the best.
This weekend I'll try the reccomendations. Thanks!
