@huck72412 is the one who converted me to eating them. I bait a few trotlines in the local golf course pond with watermelon seed green zoom worms and tear them up.
@Weldabeast, I have eaten and enjoyed many fish. Mahi, grouper, flounder, snapper, amberjack, crappie, catfish, bluegill, bass...you name it. Some have a better (firmer, flakier) texture, but they all taste about the same to me except tuna and salmon. Bluegill is a little on the sweet side to me, almost like lobster or something. But it's subtle, especially of you just fry it.
I do believe in fresh fish kept cool caught from clean, moving water if possible. Farm pond fish seem to get very mushy and slightly more fishy to me. Aside from that little stipulation, all fish is eatin' fish to me except grinnel. Mainly because I catch a lot of them in what I consider poor water. Shallow, muddy, stagnant, and warm. If I caught a few in a nice, deep creek or river, I might try one out.
I consider myself lucky to have poor taste. Makes life easier.
