I used to only fish for fish that were considered good eating. Walleye,perch, gills etc… kept a lot.
since I’ve turned almost exclusively to bass fishing, I have kept some here and there, would definitely say none I ate were bad. I will definitely keep badly hooked bass to eat if they gonna die anyways. A small lake near me took size limit off bass(way overpopulated) and me and my nephew kept some 10-12” bass . They were delicious. The area of Wisconsin I’m in the walleye is king, bass are not highly regarded by many.
