mjseverson24 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Wait.....Muskie is a sport fish - But, Pike is not a sport fish? Explain please. Muskie are much less common than Northern Pike its like a 1000:1 ratio, and they typically have the ability to grow larger. This makes them very sought after for trophy's ( mostly carbon copy's ).

Josh Smith Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I don't know that I've ever had bass. I probably have but didn't know it. Mine's a fishing family. When dad and I wanted food, we'd specifically target bluegill, crappie, or walleye. Dad said he didn't like bass. It tasted too strong for him, so if I have had bass, it was at an extended family campout. (The Smith side used to reserve several campsites and spend the week camping.) I don't have anything against anyone who eats bass. I would if I felt like cleaning them. I don't doubt that some taste like grass. I've killed deer that taste like shagbark hickory and acorns, especially in the fatty areas. If you get a squirrel with some fat on it, chances are that fat will taste like acorns or hickory nuts. Just trim the fat and it tastes decent. If you take bass out of a lake that has a lot of grass, you might let the fillets soak overnight in a bath of salt water and ice cubes. That should leach out the worst of the taste. Josh Quote
starweldpro16 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 We just fried a bunch of smallies 2 weeks ago. Beer battered half of them and breaded the others in panko. Served with slaw, greens, cornbread, fried garlic scapes and onin rings. Hard to beat. Mmm mmm mmm. Sounds delicious! Quote

Super User tcbass Posted October 4, 2014 Author Super User Posted October 4, 2014 How does this make Pike NOT a sport fish? Yeah. I know most people who go after big pike also release them. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 5, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 5, 2014 How does this make Pike NOT a sport fish? sport fish vs non sport fish for some just means desirable species vs undesirable species. FWIW pike are considered a sport fish in Minnesota, along with all species of catfish, bullhead, panfish, and even carp and gar Quote

And I would have to trade in all of my regular fishing rods for crab/lobster pots! 1 Quote
