I've always lived in parts of the world where larger game fish were
plentiful so I seldom went after small panfish. In the Ottawa Valley
it was mostly pike and large mouth bass. The lake I used to rent
a cottage on in the Gatineau Hills of western Quebec had small mouth
bass and walleyes. When I worked in Quetico Park across the border
from the Superior National Forest in Minn. there were walleye, lake
trout, small mouth bass, northern pike and even the occasional
musky. Then Cold Lake, Alberta had more of the same. And up here we
have monster lake trout, pike, whitefish, burbot and some walleyes,
North of me there's char and inconnu. And then there have been
visits to both Newfoundland and Vancouver Island and so salmon, cod,
halibut and other salt water fish.
Perch at least taste good enough to be worth the effort.
After having ben spoiled on the above I have no use for catfish or
carp. Heck, around here nobody even bothers with pike!
Cheers
Jim
