My grandmother used to make some awesome fillets from the fish we'd catch. Had her own secret breading and whatnot. Never had anything else like it.
Most restaurant catfish I've had was pretty tasteless.

Nope, wasn't allowed for some reason. All you could do was sail, fish with a rod/reel, feed the ducks, and skip stones.

It must of worked ,he got the fish. I'll bet he uses them for getting ducks too.:roll:
A good catfish taste like chicken with a fishy taste. Yalls fish taste like fish or.
They do that around here too. Drain the lake for dam work or something and remove all the fish out. They will eventuslly stock it with some fingerlings and then you have to wait at least 20 years until you have a half decent fishery. Its too bad they don't electrofish the lake and transfer the fish to a holding lake until the work is done.
I see all the catfish in the first post were flatheads. I catch them in the river in my area but your suppose to kill the flatheads. They are non native and wreak havoc on the other fish in the system. Catfish that size will eat big fish, a 20" bass is nothing for a flathead that size.

I wouldn't eat any predatory fish that large and that old, especially from a reservoir. Mercury bioaccumulates up the food chain and methyl-mercury is released in large quantities from soil when flooded during the creation of reservoirs. A fish fry from one of those big ones will give you a nice dose of mercury!
Still, catching those fish would probably be a hoot. Probably why BD has been quiet on here lately, he's out bowfishing for catfish

The lake hasn't been drained since the dam was built (or rebuilt with a spillway) in the 40's, and in that article I posted they had mentioned the mystery fish that turned out to be Asian carp, which nobody wants in their lakes anyway, even for temporary holding. Seeing what has been caught there makes me think that not saving the fish for restocking was the better choice.
