Chaunc has officially been dethroned as the KY lake gaspergoo king in both size and quantity in the same day. Wiskers has now taken the throne. This was the 1st of several Wiskers caught today while being instructed on some of the finer points of pulling cranks. This one fell to a custom painted c55, as did all the others.

In my boat they get tossed back in. Nothing about one of those ever made me think even slightly about eating one.Quote:

Man, you had to drag that pic out. I was hoping it never saw the light of day. That was a heck of a fight on an ultralight outfit.Quote:

Gaspergoo , Drum , Sheephead and other names depending on where it was caught.Quote:

I'm still confused on how Terry got in DUX's boat...
Terry never calls DUX when he's off the boat...
:yikes

I kidnapped him but nobody would pay any ransom so I had to take him along. Between the two of us, I gave that Terrova a workout.Quote:

I call them goo's and whoever catches one has to wear a burger king crown until the next one is caught. We call him the "goo king". BTW the texture and shape is more similar to a black drum than a red drum(redfish) and the taste is oily. My aunt used to cook them and loved them.
We always did call the either Gaspergoo or fresh water drum and I grew up in South East Texas. Catch them here especially if spoon jigging and no never eat the darn things!
I gave one to an old guy one day at Energy Lake because he told me they had two stones in their head. I kept fishing while he dug around (I think behind the eye) and sure enough a couple of minutes later he had dug out two things that looked like stones. Pretty good fighters but give up as quick as any fish in the lake. Throw one up on the bank an they quit trying to get back after a flop or two.
