Not bad for the first bass of the day (pic).

Walleye is delicious. Where do you live? I'm just asking.....

Yea it is, I've been fishing for only walleye lately, the meat is so incredibly tender, unlike any other fish. I'm in Tennessee

I catch and release my fresh water. But will keep a Striper. Striped Bass is good eating.

Never caught Walleye. They are big up North in Canada.

Yea me neither until recently, I didn't even know they existed in the south until I hooked one. From what I've read, the Great Lakes are the walleye-capital of the world

Crappy on the same day.

 

[WilliamBo]

What kind of fish is that? Pike?

 

[Sword of the Lord]

I've never fished for walleye. Don't even know how to use spoons. All bass, cat and crappie in Illinois, then kids do bluegill.

Don't let PETA know but I let him fight me for a little bit. I felt his power and knew he was decent so I enjoyed the fight til I he came too close to shore and I ended the catch.

Second is meh

Nice Bass Sword of The lord! Here are a couple I caught not long ago. Delicious fish! A Wahoo and a Mahi

Peaople eat bass where you live? Here in Michigan they're strictly a sport fish. Then again, we have plenty of Walleye, Crappie, Perch, Trout, Salmon, Northern and so on. We also have Bluegill, which I believe you call Bream?

Yes, Bluegill mainly, is the type bream I'm talking about.

That surprises me about the Bass, they are far from second rate to me or others here as far as I know. The Crappie are a little better, but with the Fl heat and all, they're pretty inactive a lot of the year (stick to the bottom and do very little, as they have to have cool water) Maybe the others you mention are better tasting than the bass, and since we don't have those as a rule, that would make sense of what you say.

If they only get better tasting up the scale, that's fine with me.

An intersecting fact, I put some lake caught crappie in a 5 to 6ft deep pond I had made...nice clean water and full of other fish...the crappie floated to the top dead as soon as the whether got hot.

Nice.

If you can get out on the water, salt water is the way to go for food fish.

I find that you can't over cook the Wahoo or the meat gets hard so I like it seared medium rare and it tastes great, the Mahi is my favorite either baked, grilled or fried. I like smoked fish too so smoke them once in a while.

Yea crappie is like that, it's super lean so it gets crispy quick... still good. Fresh catfish is super good, it's kind a fatty fish so it stays nice and soft and juicy, i need to try smoking it. My favorite thing to do is marinate the fish fillets in buttermilk mixed with flavored powder marinade, then grill in oven at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes

I caught Mahi also called Dorado about 10 years ago. I was fishing in Cabo San Lucas Mexico and caught several. I also caught yellow fin Tuna and a Marlin.

I would love to go back.

Nice! I'm not very lucky with Tuna, only caught a couple of little ones. I'm blessed to work out at sea, so on our down time when underway we get to play a little. Those were caught in the Gulf of Mexico somewhere between Florida and Louisiana.
