You may be right after eating the White Perch last night I did taste a funny piece around the belly .That part didnt taste good.Next time I'll filet and look for that "red piece"

Maybe I'm just losing my mind.

Yeah, John. Some of the WP's we used to catch would run 12+ inches, and a lot of them would get a little horizonatal red meat. It's just a sliver really, but it seemed to add a funny taste to the filet.....
Or am I thinking white bass??......

A red stripe? Guess mine aint big enough. You bursted my little bubble Bruce!
Any one notice the purple hue under the lower lip? I am gonna eat this fish tomorrow its thick and I 'll have it with a Crappie I kept that got the hook in the eye as well as mouth .Wont be a lot of a meal so I'll fill up on other stuff.

I've had some really tasty white perch before. I love 'em. On the bigger ones there's a little red strip that goes down the side, which I trim off.
