First Winni Trip

Well I guess that makes me a kid then because those big white perch are a blast on the jig stick and boy do they taste good!!!!!   For me I get just as juiced landing a 2 lb pound perch or a 200 pound bluefin.   It's the tug that's the drug as I've so often heard.   Just my opinion

ya you got me there white perch are tasty.  Just was a little freaked out when people talk about eating blue gills and yellow perch.

Freaked out about eating panfish? Maybe I'm missing something but the yellows, and gills/sunfish I have fried up were dynamite. Only thing better is a cusk In my opinion (from freshwater).

What do sunfish taste like? I would imagine that you would have to harvest a ton of them to get a good amount of meat.

Taste was very mild, but great texture. And yes you would need a ton for a fish fry, but my little cousin caught a few last year and we threw them in with some yellows and whites we had caught. He wanted to eat them so we tried them, and I was pleasantly surprised that they tasted good even in open water.
