Catfish is the only fish we have never really 'mastered '
in the cookin' department!
I've never gotten beyond the 'muddy' taste!
My wife refuses to even try anymore.
Any 'hep' out there - as they say in Texas.

1. old bathtub or hole filled with water for a few days. Just like turtles
2. 7up, soke the cuts in 7up
3. the bleed out, cut the tails off and let them bleed out, I have tried this with some lake catfish, didn't work.
Now for ponds and such, I never really do anything, usually ponds are clean enough and that is the only time I catch and keep catfish. I do like catfishing though, its good fun.
Someone posted a bait recipe here the other day, I need to go print it, it don't stink! Sounds like it would work too. I just catfish at the ranch lake to rest from the shooting and bass fishing...[:D] The channel cat up there are plentiful and big, never did much cat fishing other than there...going to give that bait recipe a try soon. I'm sure I'll have the other part of my camera and have it figuerd out by the time these 30mph winds stop...and then I'll post some pics...[;)]
...
hopefully in one, two, about 3 weeks, I think,...one, two, ahh nevermind...
...ya'll aren't eating yellow (mudcats) are you? Sounds like it if you have to do something more to them other than fillet. Blue catfish, channel cat or fine, w/o doing anything special. Their the only cats I know much about as for as taste.
HAHA, you don't know the lake I fish at. It is mud, even some blue gill and crappie have a little muddy taste, saugeye and walleye on the other hand don't. During the winter though, all the fish taste a lot better because the mud is at the bottom not stirred by all the boaters.
I wouldn't ever eat a yellow belly, I don't think I have ever caught one big enought to eat....
catfish,...guess it's true...[:(]
The fisheries dept says the "muddy" taste comes from blue-green algae...
