Yeah, to each his own.

Honestly, I don't excited much anymore about "fishing," other than for walleye.  I like the challenge of trying to outsmart walleys.  

But when I'm in the QP or WCPP, I fish to eat.  When it comes to eating fish, smallies, are great.  As are northern and walleye.  

I remember a power boat fishing trip to Lake of Woods years ago.  We were based at an island fishing camp.  One evening the owner announced that the next day he and his help would be offering shore lunch, with all the trimmings, on a nearby island, for the entire camp, (about 7 cabins as I recall).  I asked him what kind of fish he'd be serving.  He laughed and said, "You'll be eating walleye, bass, lake trout, northern, perch -- whatever we have in the freezer.  After years of doing this, honestly, they'll all taste just fine."  They did, and they still do.
