However I will say back in the 80's I had access to some pond raised, never frozen,  catfish out of Mississippi that was some of the best I've ever tasted. 

My dad had a friend that raised catfish in Oklahoma. I was allowed to fish in the cages and take a few each time we were there. He had a hatchery in a barn and then moved them to the cages in the middle of a big pond. We would spend the day bass fishing and then hit the cages for a bit before we went home.

Our couch is a POS anyway.   I want a sectional with reclining ends, but have you priced those ?   Good grief, I could buy another boat or truck for that !

Wait, what were we talking about here?  Oh yeah, "breeding spotted bass for the sake of selling them as food"....  Yeah I don't think it'll fly, but it wouldn't surprise me if they get funded to try it.  And let's be real here...THAT is the only true goal.

Fishinwrench, it is a grant that 1890's land grant schools get every year through the Evans-Allen program.  Our proposal will be reviewed by outside reviewers (farmers we serve, other PI's etc.)  Also I will be only making one spawn of spotted bass that will supply all the fish I need and the market is already there for largemouth.  We have been funded for our bluegill research for a longtime which is trying to develop a product for farmers and the market to benefit from.  Now we are being pushed in another direction not by our choice.  So to say our only  true goal is the to get funded would be inaccurate.  My goal is to get back to the bluegill and focus on getting our product out to the farmers so they can see how our fish out perform theirs so they can take our Blue Tiger Gills and make there own stock someday.  So would the it be accurate for me to call you a parts changer.....you find something wrong on a motor and swap the part collect your money and send the customer on their way???? NO SIR.  Why? Because you find the source of the problem fix it, then swap the broken motor part hence why you get return customers.  I started this thread to have another source of information on the this topic in which there was no literature on.  After this and talking with angler, weekend warriors, guides, and pro's I got what I needed for justification.

Says to cook at 140° for 5 minutes.  Not good enough.  175° for 10 minutes is my new policy when I DON'T see any of these things.  It will be as good as burnt toast, but......... Thanks for sharing.... I think.

The main goal of this 3-year project to is trial methods and products with potential for adoption by entrepreneurial producers of food-fish in Missouri.  Ongoing efforts will serve as a demonstration for stakeholders to witness and in some situations participate through experiential learning.  A secondary goal is to get selected Bluegill broodstock into commercial production by private producers.  The objectives of this proposed work are:

2.)             To compare Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides and Spotted Bass M. punctulatus in a production regimen coupling indoor rearing of fingerlings during the winter months in a recirculating aquaculture to pond growout to market size during the production season.  Production systems will be setup to facilitate demonstration and experiential learning.

We will also be exploring the usage of Japanese Beetle Popillia japonica biomass as a feedstuff for Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus.  

Fishinwrench, here is the second and part of the third objective of the draft i am helping with.

Ok you sold me on it.  But will you at least agree with me that the Spoonbill thing is friggin' stupid ?  

You're a better debater online than you are in person.

for some reason intelligence offends you, the scientific process has given you the very means you put food on your table, and a roof over your head, the laymen such as yourself many times doesn't understand the process that scientific advancements are made in all fields not just fisheries biologists, to get a masters or a PHD you must have a project...some lead to wonderful discoveries.....I can post all kinds of cleaver pissy slams, but since intelligence makes you salty, ill keep making you google words you don't understand

Your standard defense of obviously ignorant crap, that always boils down to "You are just to stupid to understand"... is just....

I fart in your general direction.

Sir, if you can breed/raise/train them to pick and eat the Japanese beetles off of my apple trees, I will invest and we will be billionaires.

Google links do not make you intelligent.  We all have google at our finger tips
