I've only eaten one spoonbill, and it tasted a lot like cotton to me.

I have started keeping drum, and they are not bad at all fried, grilled on the half shell or in a fish stew.

My buddy says drum just taste like fish but i question him lol the meat is dark

I must have a different kind of drum. The meat has been white with just a slight blush on the meat that is against the skin, not even enough to trim off. I've kept them out of a Black River lake and a Mississippi River lake.

Good catch SHANE... Those pike look like they would be pretty interesting to pull in on a jig pole!!! How is the meat on them?? I have never caught one..

FULL of bones i have watched vids on youtube and all of the are northers and ive tried and tried but the bones are way more through out our fish

Those fish you catch on the Little Red, Hurricane and other areas in Arkansas are chain pickerel, not northern pike, but I assume the bone structure is the same. I've been with 3 different guys in Canada that fileted northerns in 3 slightly different ways and all of them were easy. Unfortunately to learn you have to do, and so I didn't learn any of the ways, but surely there's a video that shows an easy way to do it because I know it exists in more than one way.
