When they are a mile out of the res? Yes Sir, I've had a couple that were smoked and they were as good as the ones we pull through the ice. That close to the res and early they are still in good shape. Now try and do it on the tail end .......that I wouldn't recommend.

Actually when they are right out of the res they take San Juan worms really well and they taste great when they are that fresh. End of the day I can see both sides to catch and eat as they are fantastic or watch and appreciate the display. To each their own.[/quote]
Really, you eat that garbage. First all of their own body changes are pulled from their own flesh leaving mush and what's left goes into the spawning process. They aren't really edible from the day they begin to absorb their own scales and turn a pinkish gray. From that point on you are really just eating rotting fish flesh.
