I don't eat too much fish but I guess that's just because My mom and dad always bought fish from the supermarket and they always seemed to have that fishy taste but I do like fresh trout catfish bg ect.
I plan on harvesting the fish this fall eating most and getting the biggest one mounted. I grew up not really liking freshwater fish because my parents really didn't know how to cook them although I sure liked to catch them. Once I learned different ways to cook them it made a big difference. Still nothing beats freshly caught fish or scallops like when I lived in Massachusetts. Once you freeze fish the quality declines IMHO.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

When I harvest my big ones I euthanize them by overdosing them with an anesthetic. Is the fish edible if killed that way? Not advisable. As you know Scott my fish are not grown to eat. However, these fish can be smoked, or, if one prefers, baked into brownies. _________________________ Are you sure? The FDA won't allow fish to go on the market within so many days of being anesthesized. I also use much more than the normsl amount for euthanizing.

Cecil, if you ever get tired of taxidermy, let me know. We can take our show on the road. Penn and Teller, Abbott and Costello, they won't have anything on "Baird and Sac".

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

It sure does help knowing to cook the fish did you know that most mc donalds in Maine sell lobster rolls The crab they use has to be from the previous years catch.  Maby It's none of my business but How long did you live in Massachusetts?

Maby It's none of my business but How long did you live in Massachusetts? Yeah I saw the lobster rolls last time I was out there. One of my favorite seafood restaurants is called the Weathervane but I ate at a restaurant once right on a wharf in Boston and it didn't get any fresher than that as they were bringing in the catch of the day we ate. There are some restaurants out therec that are outrageously expensive but the fish isn't any better. Learned to avoid them. Lived in Mass from 67' to 71' on an Army Post when my dad was in the military. Had 35 acre lake pretty much all to myself right behind quarters surrounded by a deep woods. Caught a lot of brook trout in that lake along with some browns and rainbow, bluegill, yellow perch, and largemouth bass. 5000 lakes and reservoirs in a Mass which is a third the size of Indiana. Bluegill are considered trash fish out there by most anglers so the bluegill fishing is phenomenal.
