TD, when you mentioned using white bass for bait it reminded me of an exchange I had with my wife yesterday. She was rummaging around in the freezer and after she spit out an "Ouch!" she asked me if I had left hooks in my bait fish. I explained that the bass have stickery fins and she would just need to be careful. I got the idea she would like me to take them out of "her" freezer. I guess I will take some of them out soon to go fishing with me. 

I usually fillet the larger white bass and only freeze small whole ones.  But if you have a problem with spines poking holes in your plastic bag...or your tender flesh...use some poultry shears to cut off the spiny fins before freezing.  Here's a pic of a cat that fell for white bass on a flig.
