Not a biologist, but I agree. We tend to release little ones and keep the big ones. With bass, we've been so conditioned to catch and release that nobody keeps ANY bass. That's a grave mistake. Little ones are hyper aggressive because they're starving. It should be our goal to keep a limit of mid-sized ones at least some of the time.
Besides, bass are members of the sunfish family and thus have white, flaky and sweet flesh. Delicious. From cooler waters, they're as tasty as perch or walleye, IMO.
