I will if their caught through the ice here. They seem to be more solid body.
Usually on a private pond.

Of course, I eat them. They are edible, that's what they're for. Release some too, really depends how many I feel like cleaning.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Not for human consumption. We have walleye.

14-16" bass get filleted Can't keep them below 14" in michigan. 16" or more get put back to hopefully get big enough to go in the wall Actually just finished cleaning fish we caught last night. Including a 14" bass But this 21" bass went back last night. The wife's first " big bass". She wanted to eat it, as she loves eating fish. But I told her " if it goes home it goes on the wall, not to be eaten". She chose to release it. This is her first year fishing with the son and I The moonrise was beautiful last night too
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

If they are draining the Pond. Why not eat them. I also would give some to family and friends if they like to eat fish. Lots of folks I know just like eating fish, Period. They don't care what species it is like alot of us do.
If I wasn't going to eat them I would be bagging them up for Trapping Bait. agree,,shouldnt be wasted. I just prefer other panfish. Would eat if needed food

If I had walleye close by I would be all over em but central Indiana has limited fishing opportunities and trout are put and take in only a few waters around here. I agree I prefer to eat out of colder water but hate to see all of this good meat go to waste when they decide to pull the plug on this pond. Its nice to be able to talk with like minded people on these topics. I am considered an odd duck by most in my area due to my view of why buy it when you can catch or harvest better protein way cheaper. They really freak out when I put fresh muskrat or young groundhog on the smoker. So what time should I be over for dinner?
