Hawnjigs
KISS
Caught a fair amount over the years, but never ate one due to bad comments on fishing forums. So with the usual wiper, walleye, & catfish no longer available due to canal drain down, kept a smaller 18" today. Didn't notice any bad smell cleaning, tho the flesh had noticeably more red sections than other species, which of course I trimmed out.
Baked the filets with Asian style peanut (butter) sauce with garlic, ginger, sriracha, a dash of REAL shoyu, & chopped fresh jalapenos. Cooked meat was firm, flakey, & not dry at all. Couldn't detect any off flavors or smells, and thought it was as good as any fresh water fish.
Hope the next one is as tasty.
