There were several that took all of the line on our reels and never slowed down. However, I have never eaten them, but have heard they are tasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I ever catch one it will be garden fertilizer. Can't get past that carp thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get past that carp thing. When I lived in Indy as a kid we called them White River Bass. Carp is actually very good if you know how to clean it. I have tried it but I prefer gills, crappie and medium sized channel catfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will stick to walleye, perch, and panfish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Anybody ever eaten Amberjack? When I lived on The Redneck Riviera (Florida Panhandle) every place had a grilled or fried Amberjack sandwich. I always loved it. One of my wife's cousins visited from West Palm Beach and said down there it was a trash fish... They fished it out down there and didn't have any the last 3 or so years I was there... Got down here, went to a restaurant called Babin's, and I'll be damned if the didn't have it on the fresh catch menu...Great stuff...

Reacher Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) I was in AZ for a few days and got in some nice hiking. Covered a lot of ground. Went to White Tank Mountain Regional Park, The McDowell Sonoran Preserve and a nice trail outside of Payson. Calves are still a little tight.
