When I was a kid we used to ride our bikes out & fish for them in Comins Lake south of Ely Nev. That's all there was in there at the time. We usually just pitched them onto the bank 'cause they were so small. One year they grew pretty big (8 - 10") and some people on my paper route brought a mess of them home & cooked them. They just gutted them like we did the little trout from the streams, then flouered & fried them. They were telling me about them & offered me one. The Dude is right about the bones but, as I remember, what meat I did get off the thing was pertty tasty. Light & flaky not unlike perch. I've caught some fairly sizable ones from Jordanelle & thought about trying to fillet them but scrapped the idea 'cause of all the bones.
