What specifically is unappealing?Gross
Rock bass . . .What specifically is unappealing?
I always found them in a river, usually in low rocky areas with quite a bit of current.Also: I don't know how to "target" freakn' rock bass or if it's possible. They always seem to be "there".
I have zero proof: Back in the day; back in the Hills: "Greg" caught an 8in specimen and decided to release it in his uncle's farm pond. Two years later; he caught it again: "12in/1 1/2lb": That was the last encounter.
The pond is still good for bass and the occasional "white" crappie. Bluegill don't last long. They're either huge or nonexistent: ZERO channel or bullhead catfish: Accidental wisdom?
The pond should get fathead minnows each Fall for fodder under the "ice". It's under new ownership. I hope they don't fuck it up:

Anyways--the point of the thread was BATTER.
That is all.
dangUsed to catch a few when fishing for sunnies. Cleaned them he same and cooked them the same as panfish, good. LB
The question in the original post was are they gross or tasty?Also: I don't know how to "target" freakn' rock bass or if it's possible. They always seem to be "there".

And I thought we determined you made an assumption?...Did you take a marijuana?The question in the original post was are they gross or tasty?
I responded gross.
"Needing" was never in the equation...If you need to put hot sauce on a fish, you need to catch a different fish.....or clean them better.....or do something better, as most fish here in the upper midwest are good to eat given the correct catch conditions and care upon cleaning. IMO.
