In cold water I'll put a 1-2.5 lb lmb up against darn near any fish for table fare. Like stated above, if Walleye (and cold water crappie in my book) are an A+ then LMB is a good solid B+. Now just like with most fish as they get bigger they don't taste as good...same with catfish. Guess I haven't noticed that with crappie, but then again I've never eaten a 3+ lb crappie...and if I ever catch one he'll be going on the wall, not on the plate!
