Fun to fish for with a worm and steel leader.
They put up a heck of a fight. That's for sure. I have caught a few while fishing for catfish. They are strong.Quote:

They are tough creatures for sure, once you get them in the boat the fight is just starting. They thrash around and bounce and tear up everything. Ditto on their mouth being a meat grinder. I hear the Cajuns are using the grinnel roe as a caviar.
I caught one on Big Sandy on a 4 1/2 foot ultralight - it was a fight and I thought it was gonna break my pole. Had no idea what it was at the time.
Jr. On Swamp People cleaned some and ran em through a meat grinder. Then he mixed in some bread crumbs, chopped celery, seasoning and a few other things and made fish cakes. Then he fried em in a fish fryer. Looked good!!!
If you eat them......eat them while they are hot......dont let it cool off lol
We used to fish for them for sport when i was a kid. We ate some occasionally, ain't bad if you know how to prepare them.
Friend caught 52 one day out of one hole. Had a stringer shot that made me laugh.
