HECK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bass taste nasty.  If we are talking about eating bass I call them the BIG NASTY. >

    Catching them though is a different story.

Only as a side dish of a meal that included clubbed baby seal and grilled bald eagle. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wasn't going to reply to this trick question and that is what it is.

The value of big bass should be obvious to nearly everyone who bass fishes. The goal for most fishermen from the first time out is to catch a big bass. A limit of bass is important to a tournament fishermen, but a big bass is important to all bass fishermen, it;s what we fish for.

Kill a big female during the spawn or any other time and you remove a rare fish for ever being caught again or growing even larger.

Big bass are the most valuable asset to bass fishing, they fuel the sport.

NEVER....................EVER!!!!!!!!  >

NO!!!

but i would catch them both....

then release them both...

just cause i caught them, doesn't mean their gonna die!!

Catch and release all day.  I really don't intentionally fish on nests anyway.  If I happen to catch one sitting on a nest, well thats a different story.  Eggs or not, pitch em back in.

First off BASS ARE DELICIOUS! Fried or grilled! All you YANKEE birdwatching floobies are rediculous with some of your ways of thinking. I would not keep the fish on tournament day and would not keep the fish if she was 3 pounds or over because the bigger fish have more eggs and therefore cause for more hatchlings in reproduction. But if she was less than THREE poinds she's goin in the grease!!! ;D

Dude get on my level! Thats what I was raised on 8-)
