Thread: Nice catch - 10 pound Brookie

Don't know how they taste up your way but here they are called mud fish, only way to eat them is smoked.
I totally stole that photo off the interweb, the average my boys catch is between 2-5 lbs. They are fun on the end of the line though...
Sometimes we pick up a sea run trout. Just off shore, and usually near the mouth of a river. Now they are good eatiing....

Sorry to hear that. That is the trouble with introduced species, intentional or otherwise, world wide. I don't eat fish so can't say how ours taste but the boss says pretty good. The fish everyone seems to rave about for eating locally here is pickerel/walleye.

Bob, Lake Superior Lake Trout and Whitefish are really tasty. I'm a big fan of the smoked fish you can get in Duluth and Grand Marais.

Have to admit I have fished some and even tasted some fish. From what I have seen Lake Superior Lake Trout tend to be fatty and have white meat where the inland Lake Trout aren't as fatty and tend to have pink meat. Had some of the smoked inland variety and have to say it was not too bad at all. Never tried any Whitefish though.

The boss likes her fish so we go to the local reserve and she can have a feed of fresh Pickerel there. We recently took a friend from Holland there, several times in fact, as she enjoyed the Pickerel so much. Makes me wish I enjoyed fish.
