Why is there no limit on them? Is it becasue there are just a lot of them? Noone wants them? They taste bad?

Are they good to eat?

They taste good. They are small. Mostly more trouble than they are worth.

They are very prolific. I caught my first one on Limestone about 5 years ago, now there seem to be millions of them. I can't help but believe that they compete with whites and other game fish. A 6 inch yellow will attack a 1/2 oz. rattletrap with reckless abandon. I e-mailed the state fisheries man for this region and he said that on most East TX. lakes that they are not a big problem, but on the last sample netting that they did on the upper end of Limestone, their nets were full of yellows.

They taste a lot like Crappie, and don't have the nasty red meat that a sandy has.
