Thanks guys I ended up catching two with my little girl whos six, we bled it out then fillet them then pan fried them in a mix I bought from bass pro they were delicious. I did not get the fishy taste everyone talks about then again thats why I eat a lot of what I catch. The fillets were huge It had been two and a half years and these things are 22- 25 inches just unbelievable in size. I must be doing something right in this pond. I cut open the bellies as always to see what it was eating as always, crawfish and what looked like weeds and grass that surprised me because it was mostly grass, at first I thought it was just digested and looked like grass but upon closes exam in was mostly grass? Surprisingly they had no minnows or fish
