Flavor varies from one body of water to another, but crappie are pretty damn good everywhere I've eaten them.
One of the best freshwater fish I've eaten was largemouth bass from Sam Rayburn.
Shows you how much I know about fresh water, I thought large mouth were bad tasting fish. I was under the impression that they were just for sport. A lot of people will have you believe that and that they should only be catch and release. It's nonsense

You just liked that Sam Rayburn bass because it irritates the bass fishermen.

Damn guys! That's some good fishing  I dont know much about fresh water. I know bass, and catfish, but what's the story on crappie? Good eating? Best freshwater eating fish in Texas. That's a lie. Walleye is much better

I can honestly say fresh filleted blackbass from Sam Rayburn cooked with plain ole Louisiana blue bag fish fry is amazing. I'd also take fried catfish from lake Livingston over crappie from any lake any day. All personal preference my friend

What taste better fresh water reds,red, or saltwater reds? Oh yeah different soil types, different water clarity, hydrilla in the lake vs none. All change it up a bit.

"What taste better fresh water reds,red, or saltwater reds?" The answer is speckled trout.

Snapper, Flounder, then trout IMO. Red's don't make the list and I'd almost prefer sting ray chunks as long as it's a small one

Definitely agree with snapper and then flounder (either or), just sayen the trout is tastier than reds.
Love that candy striped sting ray flesh. Good steaks out of the bigger wings.

Since it’s a one upper thread and related to fishing, how about a day on the water with Jimmy Houston? Then dinner including Bill Dance and Roland Martin.

What taste better fresh water reds,red, or saltwater reds? Your not supposed to eat the Reds that come out of the power plant lakes, due to the heavy metals in the water, I believe.
