Esshup, I totally agree with your logic, just can't figure out what to do to "remove" them without "wasting" them. I wish I knew someone who loved to catfish and I'd cage the lil guys for bait.

Mrhello, I've never heard of anyone cooking any of the small ones whole but you might have something there. Worth the time to heat up the grease and see if I could get past all the bones. I'm doubtful but it's better than pitching them and may get me the 2 for 1 bluegill removal with esshup's logic.

Anyone else clip the fins?
