Are houndfish edible? Are they good for bait?  And if so what time of fish bite on houndfish.

I am guessing that houndfish are edible, but also guessing that they probably don't taste very good based on their species being very oily, and no market for them that I am aware of.

Here is a pic of a nice houndfish Trim-Tab caught from my boat, it was good for a couple of jumps and a couple of pics, and was released to do whatever it is that houndfish do.....

Thanks Cracker, the look on Trim-Tabs face says it all.....when the houndfish skyrocketed about 100+ feet behind the boat, all he got was a glimpse of the bars and was hoping for a wahoo.   Although this was his first houndfish and he wasn't too upset just catching something new and rather unique.....also one of the biggest I've seen ('round here at least).

For a skinny little fish, he managed to put up a pretty good fight!

Caught this one a couple weeks ago beach fishing. Hit a Storm Miner 1/4 oz hardbait!

I'm still thinking about getting that printed and framed.
