When our crowd has a fish fry we don’t cull much of anything.just get the peanut oil hot and fry it up

Catch and release into very hot grease! 

South of Lake Okeechobee, high levels of Mercury!  I would not eat, especially bad for Pregnant women and young kids.  This does help with Catch and Release!  Science!

i dont eat anything that ever lived in the water. no fish, no crustaceans, no oysters/clams, none of that stuff.

 

when i was a kid, i loved it. somewhere along the line, i lost a taste for it.  now, it all tastes like having a handful of pennies in my mouth.

I like crappie, bluegills, perch, walleye, pike (not in the summer), and have eaten smallmouth. They were fried up and tasted great. Can't say Ive had largemouth but I dont catch them so I don't have the chance. There is a canoe only lake Ive been to that has plenty of small bass, maybe I need to go there and give it a shot.
