chris householder 0i thought I was gonna get a bass, but I will fish for them occasionally now, put up a great fight, especially in a kayak

Dan Sparrow 0I heard they have lots of bones and you have to clean them before they die. I have never tried it. I am surprised that people actually fish for them. We always ...more thought they were a nuisance and would never intentionally fish for them. The old guy that lives in the swamp on "swamp people" eats them.

Anthony Fiore 0I believe they eat everything

chris householder 0I asked some guys on the lake, and he said Cajuns eat 'em. I took that as a no...lmao

Anthony Fiore 0Honestly I've never heard of anyone eating them that's a good question
