Uglyest Pout/Fish Pictures

[iffwalleyes]

I saw some pout pictures in another forum so it gave me an idea. Lets post pictures of the old beauties and see just who has the cutest pout/fish picture.

Here is one of my beauties from last year. It was a 40" pout that weight around 12# caught at Lake Oahe SD. Heck of a nice fight.

Curious, where were you at when you caught that? I didn't even realize they had pout in Oahe.

I thought that same thing. My buddy lives in Mobridge SD so that is were we were. The first one I caught there I set the hook and thought I had walleye when it came out of the hole I looked at my buddy and said you have these things here too. He said yep there are alot. Everyone down there calls them ling though.

Pout are edible I know, but how does one
clean them? Can you fillet them like you would a walleye, crappie, etc?

Cut around the head and take out the backstraps. Thats really all there is to them. Cube them up, boil and dip in melted butter. YUM!

dont forget the tail to just chop it off and you kinda fillet it and skin it. i dunno just use anyway to get the meat off its worth it. O i have seen it done like a walleye and they fillet the whole thing, they said back home in wisconson thats how everyone does it
