I don't mind catching them when the bass aren't biting but them son of a guns will pick up a baby brush hog before a bass knows it's in the water

Goggle Eye
I was always told they were not good eating so I would always throw them back. From my own personal experience I would always catch the most Goggle Eye from small ponds rather than lakes.

Catch a lot of them in backwater swamps. Good eating

They will take over a pond, don't ever throw them back

goggle eye....
in a pond on a yellow or white beetle spin is totally classic way to catch them, too...

I always found them great eating, but caught most of mine in a coolish spring fed pond. They could be a species that taste off in warmer water.

That is correct. Don't throw them back, bring them to me

Goggle eye are one of the best eating pan fish out there. Second in my book only to white perch.
