You know, Walleye is tough to beat but..

[Kylersk]

Man, a good pan fish fry (crappie/sunnies) is just as good, if not better.

[boatfixer]

I prefer catching walleyes but prefer eating pannies.

[Kylersk]

I'm with ya Boatfixer.. But in the metro, walleyes are tough to find, at least for me. Then again, so are pannies.

[fbluvr27]

does anything beat a panful of fresh crappies?

[Jethro80]

Crappies, with maybe a filet of walleye but crappies are #1 in my book

Perch?

[walleyeman1]

#1 Perch

#2 Sunfish

#3 Northern

#4 Walleye

#5 Crappie

A 3 to 5 pound northern is hard to beat. My favorite has to be brookies though. There's a small stream near me and I like to hit it early in the morning, catch 3 or 4 and fry them up for breakfast, mmmmmmm yum!!!!

I had lake trout marinated in Italian dressing then grilled over an open fire drizzled with lemon butter. This was on a trip to Canada. It was my favorite meal on the trip, which included fresh walleye and norhern shore lunches.

[goblueM]

Yeah I'd have to vote for crappies and brook trout as number 1. Walleye, bluegills, perch, and northern are all superb as well

[Beege]

Pretty tough to beat a fresh Lake Superior Coho Or King Salmon. Also any panfish, walleye, or northern. Lake trout is not all that good IMO. Brook trout and brown trout are pretty good also.

I love a good walleye fillet, but sure do enjoy perch and crappies and sunnies.

I just can't find anything better than a few big perch. They almost taste sweet when done right. Its a real treat too, there aren't many lakes around the metro that will produce eaters. I had Walleye tonight and had a smile on my face when I got done eating. It tastes so good once it hits your lips!!!

[zepman]

Had a really nice meal of crappies tonight and was thinking the exact same thing. Winter crappies are tough to beat in the pan.

[Sandmannd]

Love crappies and sunnies in the pan. Pound for pound they eat just as good as any other fish. That being said, I like to eat the pannies, eye's and pike. Doesn't matter much to me.

[croixgod]

perch hands down! it's firmer and whiter than walleye's and crappie or sunnies.

Bullheads before perch or walleye? Really?

[RylFlsh85]

Bullheads (out of a clean lake), are more abundant and easier to catch most times and they really are a great eating fish. Plus there really isn't much to cleanin them.

Bullheads??? i've never had them but they dont sound very good. after catching those slimy snot balls i never would have thought they were any good. are they seriously any good??

[Sandmannd]

Bullheads are tastey, lot like a cat. Skin and gut 'em and you're good to go.
