The negativity of the C&R guys is unreaaal.  d**n ye, d**n ye to heck, eater of bass!

 

I do, on occasion, eat largemouth along with whatever I can scrounge up for a fish fry.  They're few and far between, but very much tradition here. 

Ive eaten LMBs from a Chinese restaurant and have to admit it was pretty good.

 

Do I eat my bass ? Hell, YES ! Bass ceviche is yummi ! Those pound fish that seem to be so abundant in my everyday lake are delicious deeply fried.

 

Do I kill and eat every bass I catch ? Nope, actually it’s been years since I had to kill a bass so I haven’t eaten one in many years.

 

I have nothing against people killing and eating their fair share catch, that’s why we have limits, if biologists say you can keep X amount of fish of X size/weight it’s up to you if you want to excercise your priviledge.

 

I bet gators in the south and them teethy toothy critters like pike up North eat more bass than the people that keep a few ones.
