I remember back when largemouth were considered "trash" fish - like
bullheads - 'po folk et 'em. Â*:)

you mean like 'buffalo'


I read once that back east they pitchforked the salmon out of the
streams during the spawning runs - to use for field fertilizer.
Considered salmon trash fish.
Never knew that about largemouth.
But we never considered them good eating.
Crappies and bluegills were the favorite eating fish.
