I had bass last week for the first time and I was amazed how much better it was than store bought fish

[@OrionARS]

Largemouth bass are my favorite freshwater fish to eat! Big bluegills are second and crappie are 3rd. There's nothing wrong with taking out 1-2 pounders to eat. It actually helps the bass population to eat some here and there. Ponds and lakes get stunted when you catch and release every bass

[@stephenmartinez1]

Amen to that! All the freshwater pan fish like bass, blue gill and crappie taste very similar. There’s so many lakes and freshwater fish in the US, that keeping a few here and there certainly doesn’t harm the population. Especially if you fish in some of the remote lakes. Growing up camping in northern Michigan, my family kept all the fish we caught because a communal fish fry is just part of the camping experience.

Anyone that has been around for awhile has kept bass.

(Before catch and release) But all of those fish got cleaned and eaten. Not as good as crappie, but still a good eating fish! Favorite lure - buzz bait

[@Cash-pd6di]

@@twraoylnledyou8511 usually over 2 pounds people throw them back so they can get healthier and bigger and the reason people eat 2 pounds is because some fishing spots are over populated with 1-2 pounders and 9 times out of 10 the little fish will bite before the big ones

I had my first bass today and it was amazing. I think it depends on the individuals taste pallet. I tried a fillet with salt and pepper and another one breaded. The unbreaded was better and I thought it taste better then walleye. Still want to try different fish including small mouth.

[@victorlui5955]

Go Bluegabe! I think that it's usually half and half to bass because bass eat everything and sometimes they have worms, but if the bass are in fresh and clean water, they are usually very good to eat. Steamed black bass with soy sauce, ginger, and green onions is what I used to eat.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

"Only 1 bait" for year round bass fishing? Hhhmm, that's a tough one. I believe I would have to pick the ole tried & true plastic worm, because you can fish it SO many different ways year round. Fish it fast weightless & twitch it like a soft jerk bait on the surface, add a little weight & fish it the same way just under the surface.........fish it like a slower swimming worm, or any number of ways on or near the bottom. You can even pitch & flip the shorter worms on a typical flipping rig with a pegged heavy weight. Find the type of retrieve & presentation the fish want. PLUS, IT'S TOTALLY WEEDLESS. I can't think of any other lure that you can fish so many different ways as the old plastic worm. So many sizes, styles, and colors to choose from as well. I love & use all lures as much as anybody.......I always keep 8 different lures rigged on 8 different reels & rods at all times........but forced to use only one year round? Yeah.......the plastic worm......definitely.

I’m in Florida and by nature/genetics our deer don’t grow antlers like up north.
