Anybone eat these?
 

Found the mother lode of em last week in the flooded woods. They were hitting the boat and running out of that shallow water. Hit this one with the prop, gave it to a guy on the bank and he was pretty dang happy.

Hear the ribs are good to eat never had them though, worth keeping or not?

ole duck lip fish, i think the call that crawfish bait in the basin

That would bait a LOT of traps!:work:

Just got to cut them up.


Yall ever watch Swamp Pawn they have some guys on there that fish them, the get pennies on the pound for them and they use them for bait.

duck lip fish:rotfl:

MatchGeek with eat the **** out of those Guarantee

lmao

:rotfl:

I hear the ribs are good and its got me curious. Figure since the water is cold that now would be the time to eat em. Also heard time and time again that garfish is good, but I have eaten it a couple times and its not way up the list for me.

Fry it, drown it in ketchup, and chase it with a fifth of whiskey. You won't remember if it was good or not!

That's one of those big carp that jump out of the water right? Invasive species

You got some numbers on those?

We'd probably give it a try. We don't throw back common carp or gaspergou when we catch them, but we don't go out of our way for them either.

Black drum on the other hand.

buffalo


actually hear that those asian carp are not bad either, Henderson Lake is full of them, they literally jump in the boat!

My grandpa uses that for catfish bait... does really well with it

fry it , drown it in ketchup , give it to the dog and enjoy the wiskey.....second thought , throw it back , save the grease , save the ketchup and enjoy the wiskey .....oh and give the dog some real dog food.........

Blue Buffalo
 

Yep, my dad used to catch Blue Buffalo like that in his hoop nets along with Red Carp as well. He would sell them to the crawfish farmers for bait, but occasionally my mom would gut them and pressure cook them, bones and all and can it. Looked nasty in the jar, but she would make patties out of them and fry them and they were really good. As for Gaspergou, it makes a good coubillion since the meat is good and firm. Only thing better is the spotted or flathead catfish for that!

Sound like you been around a good ole black Pot few times......making me hungry......

Bugle Mouth Bass

I eat the crap out of them ribs! They are good, it was my great grandmas favorite. We would catch them in out hoop nets and she would cook them for us.

X 2...

asian carp, heard they were good but just lots of bones... never stopped me from eating a flounder though!!
