They're unfortunately not as tasty as perch or walleye but they'll run a very close second to them. I'll bet, if you were to taste them intermingled with some perch fillets, the way my wife cooks them up, you couldn't tell the difference....as long as the water they're caught in is cool and not shallow or "funky".
What I'd like to know is where particularly, folks like personfly18 positions his boat in order to pull those buggers in so heftily; I can spot them on my fish-finder all day long but getting them to bite is another story. Just more Trial and Error, I guess.
