    Are they any good to eat? I’ve caught them but have never tried eating one yet…and, while no Andrew Zimmern, I tend to be a bit adventurous with food.

    Actually, they are pretty darn good. I just have a hard time getting the sheepie stink off my hands.

    Pretty cool. I’ve never seen them caught through the ice.

    They are decent to eat if you eat them right away. I would soak it in salt water for a day. If you freeze for a later date….. WATCH OUT!!!

    Bet they would be good smoked. Looks like fun on light tackle.

    Sheephead. I’m going to try some next to walleye (fried) and smoke some also.

    Maybe it’s more that walleyes taste like sheephead, they’re a primary forage for the walleye in the Rock River.
