    Nothing in the world wrong with Bowfin. We kept them and cooked them all the time when I was a kid.

    As I recall not too bad. It got fried up with the gar balls and everything else that went in the grease.

    I will continue enjoying the red breast & bass while you eat the mud fish.

    Don't knock it till you try it. I didn't think gar would be half as good as it turned out to be. That being said, I haven't eaten mudfish before.

    A bucket list thing for me, is to have a wall mount of growed copperheaded redbreast of a fulls stringer of bass and redbreast.

    Gorgeous fishes.

    And there's nothing wrong with mudfish. Bony, but edible.

    My grandfather grew up around Rimini before they flooded the lakes, and he fished Marion commercially for about 20 years. After we'd run the lines, we'd get to go bream fishing and the only thing that got turned back was undersized bream. He kept and ate everything.

    That was back when you could anchor around the big rafts of hydrilla and wear the fish out.

    I sure miss those days with him.

    Trick to mud fish is you have to clean them as soon as you catch them, or meat will get oily.

    Looks like a good time.

    Only mudfish I ever attempted to clean was slap full of worms in the filets.

    I wasn't intending on eating him anyway just using for catfish bait
