Some of my most enjoyable fish meals have been eating UL channel cats, but for my taste, I have found that channels between 13 and 24 inches long have the best flavor. (under 13 inches taste fine, I'm sure ,but aren't worth the hassle of filleting.) It seems like the bigger brutes taste more consistently objectionble and I therefore C&R these. I also haven't had a lot of luck with mudcats although I have friends that actually prefer them. This could just be a result of my messed up tastebuds however.[blush]
