Bass - Largemouth | Bass - Largemouth | Good fighter, lot's of fun to catch them using top water lures. Throw a Jitter Bug in the lily pads and have fun. The one in the image looks a bit grumpy. | |||
Bass - Smallmouth | Bass - Smallmouth | Ferocious fighter, lots of fun to catch. Can be eaten, if you don't have any other food available. | |||
Bullhead | Bullhead | Good eating. An uncle used to take us down to the Ford Dam in St. Paul and catch these, great memories. Not a favorite fish to take off the hook. Ouch! dammit he poked me. | |||
Catfish - Channel | Catfish - Channel | Cats can put on quite a battle on the end of your line. Good eating, cook them a bit longer than other fish. Meow. | |||
Crappie - Black | Crappie | Fun to fish for, and great eating. The big slabs take some serious angling skills to locate and catch. | |||
Crappie - White | Crappie - White | White crappies are more prevalent in southern states, have caught some monster sized whites in the St. Croix River around Afton in the spring. | |||
Dogfish (Bowfin) | Dogfish | Probably good eating, but never tried. Notorious fighters, have witnessed several break-offs while using light line for panfish. Prehistoric looking fish for sure. And yes, they do bark. | |||
Eelpout | Eelpout | Supposedly they are good eating, but the one time I tried to cook them, I must have used the wrong recipe. Typically only caught during the winter, and mostly at night. | |||
Musky | Musky | These things get huge! Be prepared before you land one of these. A 50 inch musky with a Rapala full of treble hooks in its mouth flopping around the bottom of your boat can cause quite a ruckus. CPR only please. | |||
Northern Pike | Northern Pike, or just northern from Minnesota. | Very slimy fish, can get annoying when a lake is filled with small northerns. They have serrated triangular teeth that can cut 1/2 inch thick steel cables and get off with your best lure. Good eating if you know how to remove the Y-bones. |
