A bit late joining this one but I would prefer eating my shoes versus LT. SM are great from clean water. Like any of the fish don't lkeep the big ones eat the smaller fish.  

We like to mix up the meals so Walleye are first then Pike and Bass  but we very our menu, helps the pallet enjoy the flavor variations of good fish.

It amazes me how many people eat LT in MI most of us consider them a nusaunce fish like CARP!  Actually I think Carp Would Taste Better  ;D
