In the past I took home a couple and didn't take the time to really get rid of all that stuff and there isn't enough spices and butter in the world to make them taste good if you don't. Unless you're trying to survive, you won't like the taste. I ate them only because I didn't want to waste something I killed but I did not enjoy it.

To me, all 3 species of striped fish is some of the best tasting fish in freshwater. I'd prefer bass or walleye over those ONLY because I don't have to do the extra work of getting that red meat out.
Not a bash, I prefer crappie. White bass, striper or hybrid I don't eat and I have tried everything, always got rid of the white line, soaked them in a baking soda and salt water solution, changing water several times, etc. and they are just terrible to me. I don't care what anyone legally keeps.
