Snappers make the best eating if you know how to fix them. I was told they have 7 different kinds of meat. Friend had a big one in his pond and kept his gun by the door. Finally got him, he sank to the bottom of the pond, floated up 3 days later and weighted in a 25 pounds...daughter had a snapper in her pond and it took down one of her ducks...the other 2 wouldn’t go near the pond after that.
