Love me some fried catfish, especially if I catch it myself.
Crappie and bream are great as well.
I like my fish fried, and I like catching my own fish.
I won't eat a fish unless me or someone I'm with catch it.
For fresh water fish, I'm that way, but for ocean fish, I'll order flounder at a restaurant every now and then.
Unfortunately the catfish by me are small and terrible. We call them mudfish. I think it has something to do with the brackish water. Might try one of the sail cats I get now and again.
What we call mudcats around here are flatheads. They're big and delicious.
I'm with ya but I have a hard time deciding between red and snook. Had a sand trout I caught not too long ago and it was right up there. But love me some reds

Pike is delicious and if you Learn to filet them right, you'll have boneless white eat that is delicious.
Walleye are the best eatin', with N. Pike as a close second.
When cleaning a walleye be sure not to forget the cheek meat, it makes awesome walleye nuggets.
One rule with N.Pike, they don't go into the live well. The bastards put off a defensive slime that is just a mess to clean up, therefore stringer only.
Thats no shit. I think that's why the lil' bastards take me so long to clean, tough to keep'em on the fillet table. Gettin' that slimy shit outta boat carpet suck's ass.They are the slimiest fuckers ever. One the toughest parts about filleting them. It just keeps coming too. I don't care how much you hose em off. It'd turn ya off if ya didn't know any better.
