I just bought land five minutes from that lake. Can’t wait to be going there every chance I get to relax on the pontoon boat

Cool. I’m not so sure you will be putting a pontoon boat in Ocoee Lake 3. Maybe you mean Lake Ocoee or Parksville lake?

Actually I have never tried them. I have never tried any fish I've caught. I wasn't to do a catch, clean and cook video soon. Thanks for watching.

NOVA OutDoors Thanks 😊. That lake was awesome. Even if we caught nothing the atmosphere was incredible.

Cull a small one or two and use the perch eyes on a hook. They love it.

wesley webber I know plenty of people eat them but there was a time when the lakes were supposedly contaminated from run off out of the copper mines. I wasn’t sure if it was safe or not to eat them at this point. On the other hand I’m sure there are contamination in all the foods we eat and these fish are probably healthier than fast food and other processed food. Thanks for the view and for commenting on the video. I love it up there at that lake

There are dangerous levels of Mercury in the water and mud left from the copper mines. Mercury never goes away and the fish eat it and it stays in their fatty tissue and muscles. A few fish out of the ocoee is safe every now and again maybe, but definitely not all the time. The toccoa on the other hand, above the copper mines, has plenty of trout that are safe to eat.

Cool thanks for the info. I don’t eat the fish anyways but would probably try them once.
