I would suggest that you not keep any of those nasty fish though. I have tried literately every thing to make them palatable and nothing gets rid of that strong taste of mud.
All joking aside in an attempt to get people to release fish…. mississippi river walleye and sauger are OK at best on the table. Not horrible but certainly not on par with a Mille Lacs, Leech, Devils Lake, etc., walleye. I kept my last walleye off the river for eating about 5 years ago.
I’d agree with that.
Moving closer to the river after fishing nothing but lakes, I can tase the difference.
I wont keep anything but a few 14 – 15 inch saugers for dinner when I fish the river.
Being that river fishing is better than most lakes, I’m ok with that.
