helllllll yeaaaaa you can eat em! great tasting fish! when chef paul prudhomme invented "blackened redfish" in his kitchen in new orleans the blackened craze dammn near wiped out the La. redfish stocks and other redfish areas too......

oh yea.. "blackened" is NOT cajun by any means....if my mom blackened anything she called it "burnt" and threw it to the dogs :)

No, they're no good to eat and besides they don't fight much when they're hooked up either. Have a friend caught one last week (42") and it drug her kayak 2 1/2 miles till she (that's correct) boated it. *;)

42incher a nice bull. but, prob not so good for eating. prob full of worms.i keep em up two a couple feet or so. past that i release em. let em grow sme more so i can catch him later for a state record. heck, the ones i release usualy grow 4 or 5 inches before i even get back to the dock!
