I'll eat just about whatever I catch, but catfish are probably my least favorite. Both white bass and drum are pretty decent eating. I'd say they're on par with smallies or largemouth....

That is such an interesting post, with a lot of information that really I didn't think about as being true, but is. My family is predominantly Indian/Irish, I have more Cherokee Indian that anything else in my composition, and my family (dad's Indian side) has always stayed away from drum fish. My great grandmother was appalled by them, but she would eat raccoon lol (I don't partake in that either).
