Airforce, back in 'tha hills' everyone but me eats catfish. I don't care for it. The lakes around here are ful of them. Some are huge. A couple of years back a guy caught one that weighed 43 pounds.
Years ago, a cousin caught a flathead catfish that weighed in at 83 pounds. At the time, it was a record for a flathead by trotline in Oklahoma. For all I know, it may still be. Maybe I just don't clean them right or something, but all the catfish I ever caught tasted more like river bottom than anything else.
In the years I was stationed in Germany, carp was the most common game fish. It wasn't bad, and I actually developed a taste for
gefilte fish. But it isn't all that great either, and I've only had it a couple times since I retired from the military.
Onward and upward,
airforce
