Keeping Bass?

[tigerpincer]

I rather enjoy eating Bass. A nice 10-11" bass is as good of an eating fish as there is. Every bit as good as Walleye IMHO. Some waters seem to produce better tasting fish. For example I think SMB from the Gorge are phenomenal. Super light and sweet tasting. The ones from PV just aren't as tasty in my experience. Let the haters hate. Always gonna be haters. Those folks hating you are hated on by wacky environmentalist types who think its cruel to ever catch a fish at all, release or no. For whatever reason people always want to push their opinions upon others and too often get obnoxious about it. If your within set limits, I say "brush ya shoulders off" and do you.
