I do enjoy eating bass every once in a while. My rule for myself is never keep a PB. I have to let it go. I also dont keep bass over 2lb. I mostly catch and cook bluegill.

I live in Wisconsin and eat 12 to 18 inch bass from clear, cool lakes and they are delicious. I had guests over a couple months ago and served them bass deep fried, coated with Golden Dipt Cajun coating. My guests loved them. they were really as good as perch or bluegills, better than crappies or northern pike, and had great firmness. If it's legal and the lake has plenty of them, enjoy a few meals of bass each year.

People have kept under 13” bass at one lake I fish and I’ve noticed over the last 5 years the avg size bass has gone up a lot

Excited to see ur opinion on this. My short opinion is you shouldn’t eat them unless there is an overpopulated body of water

Honestly, my rule for bass is legal(obvi) and not over 2lbs. Idk about my mom. She’s Filipino and uses the regulations to get me to keep it and I know she wanted me to keep my pb

I'm on both, dawg, I'll eat a bass if I wanna, but usually I don't, nor do I judge people who eat anything they catch 💯👌🏽😎

I normally eat spotted bass because of the overpopulation of them in my local fisheries. And they're very destructive, especially to smallmouth beds here.
