I have to admit they are good but blue cat still tastes "cleaner" as in no natural taste of its own if you will where gaftops have like a slight hint of a taste to them like bass do and in my opinion taste much the same as bass do.

I don't keep any gaftop unless its at least 24" because as mentioned, they are streamlined and don't have a large amount of meat on the bone
Cut the red meat out and the gafftops taste pretty clean. Yield is lower than blues and channels, but no fatty meat to avoid on the ones 5+ pounds.
