And the winner of my sample taste test was the drum mmmmmmm yum
I liked both the cat and bass about the same but what made the drum superior was it didn't have that gamey taste to it like the other two did.
The cleaning of the drum really wasn't that bad at all if you have a scraper and scrape off the scales first. That was my first drum. The bass was easy I didn't mind cleaning that at all and the cat wasn't as bad of cleaning it as I thought it would be but I'm never a fan of cleaning cat fish.
I'm sold on the drum I want to catch more of them .
(and your right Easy6 I should have kept the other 4 cats once I started cleaning these I got on a roll. I just dreaded cleaning all of them lol)

Turned a 3 day weekend into 4 with a vacation day, and an overnighter is in the works for new river adventures tomorrow night, gonna pound the backroads in some new territory looking for overlooked spots along the Illinois and will fish for drum
Your adventurous spirit has guilted me into a genuine excursion, first of the year
