People who don't want their fish to taste like fish? Maybe that's why I don't like hamburger it doesn't taste like ham? I hate buffalo wings they don't taste anything like buffalo. The worse tasting fish I ever had was caviar. Maybe if people payed more for freshwater drum, sheepshead, it would be great.

We caught a lot of them long ago when we ran setlines on the Mississippi here. My Dad used to smoke most of them but in the late 70's through the early 80's he'd scale, gut and take the head off a lot of them and give them away to people who wanted them. They can't be that bad as nobody complained that I know of. People don't eat fish like they used to though as the majority don't want to take the time to prepare a meal as it's easier to buy pre packaged food especially something like fish.

Smoked they are good and size doesn't matter. We got some big sheephead. Some went over 20 lbs. easy. We used to have a coffee can full of the clackers that are in their head. No idea why we kept them from time to time but we did.

Now I had gar once and I don't need to do that again. I guess some people like that fish and I'd rather have sheephead.

Are you saying you dont like fish eggs because they taste like fish?

This is a problem. Just because you don't like to eat them doesn't mean you have to waste them. A place that my boys and I like to fish is constantly littered with sheepshead carcasses by wasteful and unlawful slobs. If you don't like them, just put them back in the river, rather than create a stinking mess for the next guy.
