Favorite Fish

Lng Rng · 10-10-2007, 12:31 AM

Just curious, what is everybodys favorite fish to catch? Apart from that, what is your favorite one for the table?

To eat, it's Halibut all the way. As far as catching, at least in my home state, it's probably a Muskie, just dont expect to have them jump in the boat. Next time I fish will be on solid water, im afraid.

My favorite fish to catch, and to eat, is the rainbow trout.

catching, i like small mouth bass. for eating black crappie. nothing wrong with fishing on solid water.

I like Catching Crappie and there is nothing like figting a big Large Mouth Bass. Every year we go on a 4 day fishing trip over an extended weekend and try to catch as many crappie as we can for the freezer. Some years we have done really well. Many times we have fish left over from that spring fishing trip and then use that as a bargining tool to get permision to hunt land. It works well.

ArkansasHunter · 10-10-2007, 06:20 AM

That will give me nightmares billy !!!! Is that really a fish ? It looks like something space Aliens dumpped in our ocean. No more comment...A.H

Good Lord billy! That there thang is almost as fugly as my exwife! Hmmm favorite to catch? Sheesh I love catching em all, I mean it's always fun catching em any of em but I sure do like the fight a nice keeper Redfish gives! Their also super on the table, to eat Monkfish hands down more tender and firm pure white flesh than cod with a very delicate almost lobster like flavor to it. Ugly as sin though, hard to imagine something as butt ugly as Monkfish could be so incredibly delicious!

Rockfish from the Chesapeake. I also buy Tilapia from Sams club, both are meaty fish with little fishy taste.

Crappie...and lots of them.

For batter I break four eggs in a bowl mixed with one cup of milk. Soak the crappie fillets in this solution for at least an hour.

Then press each fillet onto a bowl full of Harold Ensley's fish batter mix.

Finally, drop the fillets into a deep pan full of boiling hot oil.

Then have a plentiful supply of tarter sauce on hand as you eat those golden brown strips of the best tasting fish I know of.

I love brook trout. I went fishing with a buddy outside of Johnson City, Tn and he pointed out the fact that farm raised trout have white insides while the native trout are pink inside. Pink tastes better.

Used to fish for bluegills with an ultra-lite rod, clear plastic bobber filled with water and about a 3' leader with a fly.

Those big bluegills with the blue under the chin will run right over those little worm-eating baby bluegills to get a fly.

Crappies are good too.

Oh yeah, don't forget catfish.

Big Dog · 10-10-2007, 05:50 PM

blaster · 10-10-2007, 06:22 PM

being a commercial fisherman, i like to catch whatever pays the most at the fishhouse. but for eating you cant beat a small scamp grouper about 10 lbs.
