That "lake taste" in freshwater fish
brokentrail:
My fish are usually alive until I clean, them thanks to the livewell, and I have eaten walleyes from Ohio to Washington and never had a bad one, tbh, those are the cadillac of fresh water fish to most, although I prefer bluegills to everything else, they just have a sweeter flavor, at least to me.

Let me buck the trend. I've kept panfish whole in a bucket in the fridge for a day before filleting, live in a water bucket, thrown live into ice slurry etc. It's all damn good to eat even if not the ideal preservation

99% of my food fish are largemouth and catfish. With some crappie, salmon, steelhead thrown in. My wife and I both agree the bass is our favorite fish to eat. I normally keep em live till the last moment, then bleed and fillet. However there has been plenty of days where I have had a dead bass on a stringer for half a day before cleaning and filleting. They still were yummy. Funny thing is, I am so acclimated to it that when I eat sea bass or ling cod or such, it takes me a moment to get used to the "ocean fish" taste :chuckle: still love it, just not used to it. Now the catfish on the other hand if I dont bleed and clean em just right they are super fishy and lucky. But I dont catch em in the cleanest water around let's just say that
