I love it when these toothy critters surprise me when I am fly fishing. Was out fly fishing for Crappie with a balanced leech when this dude decided he wanted to eat it. Pretty healthy specimen too, slightly over 20in

They taste exactly the same when filleted.

I did not give the taste test, lol. Was tempted to, but slightly concerned by all the dead geese on the lake. Tons of them died from the avian flu and were just frozen on that ice...maybe im just being paranoid, but then again, maybe not.
