I caught four last night and two tonight and they aren't bedding yet which is when they go into a frenzy. All the ones I kept have bodies larger than my hand (which is larger than yours based on the hamster pics). I scale, behead and gut them and have been vacuum packing them. When I get 20 or more I will have a fish fry. You roll the entire fish in a batter/flour/breading and deep fry them and then eat them one side then the other, eating down to the ribcage and spine. The fins are great fried on the fish- cunchy.

You gotta try the peanuts, man.
