I’ve eaten the drum (sheepshead), not so good 

We caught a butt-ton at reelfoot when we took a spring trip there. Put them all back. Got home and my uncle chastised us fir not keeping them.

I catch quite a few Crappie while bass fishing, especially throwing Spinnerbaits and occasionally a weightless stick worm.

Walleye , Channel cats and White bass 

Rock Bass, Pike,  lots of both of these. Then an occasional crappie, perch, bluegill and musky.  By-catch has never bothered me. I like action and catching fish.  When I am catching a lot of rock bass I am usually catching a lot of LM and SM.  I love big pike. Great fight and they hit hard.  I carry a musky net in my boat.  I open it every windy, cloudy day when I am throwing a spinnerbait. I figure I may only get 1 chance every few years and I want to be ready!
