highly opinionated on this one...hands down the walleye..even the big girls. beats a panfish up and down and around the block because one 23" walleye is a meal. if your one of those people that think panfish and percj is better eating than walleye then you need to know how to do it right because you have obviosly not had it done right...here it is
1. catch the walleye
2. cut the gills and let it bleed out.
3 fillet the walleye then let the fillets soak in a bowl of water with some salt for 4-12 hours.
4. cut the backstraps into 3 pieces and cut the tail off..split the tail in two, discarding the mud line make sure you discard the mudline on the backstraps too ont eat the belly meat so just cut the rib cage out
5. slice the backstraps down the middle to cut the thickness in half...essentially giving you one bluegill size pair of fillets for every chunk of backstrap...(shoud equal 6, double that you get 12.)
6. fry them in your favorite breading..personally i like shorlunch with ritz crackers
if you still would rather mess around trying to catch panfish then you and i have nothing in common
p/s northern pike is the runner up...bigger the better..32" and up.
