Well Colonel .... they're alot like White Bass, taste wise. Not bad eating, but they ain't Crappie ... LOL!! Filet them out, then remove any red meat, and they're not half bad.
With the new size limit being what it is .... I'd opt for the 10-12 inch range, if you can get them. Enough meat to bother with cleaning a handful of them ... whereas the smaller sized are just as tasty, but you'd have to clean a few more.
I do wish people would take to catching/cleaning/eating some of them, from T-ville. They're so numerous, I think they're competing for the same sized Shad as the Crappie. Thinning their numbers down would help the growth rate of both species ... probably even help the dink Basses, too ... LOL!!
... pappy
