Sauger are pretty good to eat. Some guys compare them to walleye but I think they have a stronger taste from the Ohio. I have eaten Sauger from KY lake that don't have that strong taste. One positive to keeping sauger is they are a breeze to clean.

One note for all fishing sauger at the falls == like any other sought after species as the pressure picks up the quality falls off. I recommend to all catching and eating those sauger to release the bigger ones. To me the biggest ones have the stronger taste anyway and it's always best to selective harvest leaving the cream of the crop. Plus I release all walleyes I catch below the dam. Their numbers are not great and putting them back can help the numbers build for the future.

Good fishing!!!
