It’s hard to beat. I like it better than fried.

Looks tasty! We eat em for sure

Looks great. I’ll have to try that next time.

That’s a hefty stringer of fish. You would drive folks on TFF crazy with that pic.

That is a nice stringer of fish. Bass are good eating.

Looks pretty tasty.

Well played.

Wrong

Nobody give a chit, it's a fishing forum, people know it's good to cull small bass keeps the population healthy

The fingerlings are great bait in ponds.

Nice stringer of fish Love all kinds of Blackened fish, those look tasty Is that out of a private or a public lake?

My grandmother made a Cubion that was out of this world. She would only use black bass, I did what I could to keep her well stocked. I would trade a couple of my kids for a bowl of that again.

so you’re also an expert on fishing…

I saw that.

So are those spike bass? Can I get them with a .223?

Does it matter if it's high fenced water though?

Don't think I ever ate it with bass. But have had tons of it with Catfish and or Crappie. I have had it with a few different kinds of saltwater fish, and I found the freshwater fish make for the better stew. I will make it once or twice a year with Crappie or Stripper from fishing trips. though it was better when my grandmother or dad made it.

Keeping legal bass to eat is not a big deal anymore. Bigger ones don’t taste good and are better to throw back anyway.

That is a nice eating size and great way to cook them. On the half shell is also tasty.

I only eat 10+ pound black bass.

You don’t look old enough to drive that truck 😆

Female bass are tastier than the males too.

Bass caviar is outstanding.

Bass on the grill are delicious

Have eaten both on many occasions but never noticed a difference.

Nice stringer.

Great way to spend time with your boy and I’d eat the hell out of that fish. Your boy is getting big. He is starting to look like a grown man. Well done!

This is where I throw give y'all the fish and I eat the tortillas

What’s the biggest bass you’ve eaten?

Thanks! He had a great time. This tank hadn’t been fished much. The bass were all healthy but every one of them weighed around 2 1/4 lbs. We caught one around 4. Dax is like me and doesn’t care much for sitting in a deer blind. We decided to fish hard and kill something if we had an opportunity. Was a great weekend with a couple of full 65 quart coolers full of bass.

I’ve never understood the myth that big bass aren’t good to eat. I’ve eaten some giants and the meat is exactly the same. It’s all just as white and pretty no matter what size the bass is. Growing up my grandfather and I filleted plenty of 6-8 pound bass and they were great. I throw back the big ones these days but gill hooked a 9.5 a few years ago at Amistad on a Spook. Her meat was just as pretty as a 2 pounder and tasted the same.

Yep. It’s nonsense.

Yuppie bass fisherman started the myth that large bass aren't good eating. The TFF is full of them.

She claimed it wouldn’t break down and get mushy. Now that you mention it, I feel like she would use red fish if she had to.
