    they typically pull like heck when you hook them and then give it up really fast after that and just kinda pull a bit , once in while one will surprise ya and keep at it a bit , the larger ones pull best , like Sk ketched

    I can hook you up. We have a bunch of them round these parts. Catch a couple a day crappie fishing, more than that walleye fishing, and a bunch catfishing.

    What kills me about them is they THUMP THE JIG so much like a crappie it's unreal.......
    One of my YouTube buds baked one and it looked tasty.....I just haven't had the courage to keep one to try yet and with crappie filets to be had haven't felt the need too......

    they do in fact "thump" a jig exactly like a big ole slab , one last winter had me thinking I was into a "trophy" size crappie , for a second or 3 .....

    Lost a 25 to 30 lb flathead at the edge of the boat today after a 30 min fight. I was trying to net him, had too much pressure and the jighead bent just enough to let him off.

    I caught one around 3lbs one time and was going to throw him back. A asian friend of mind says don't you dare. His dad loved them and he took it home for a meal. It took 50 years to catch my first one but now a catch three or four a year. Never had the nerve to eat one but they say the young ones have a delicate, sweet taste if baked.
