BE HONEST

I think it is good to keep bass on overpopulated lakes to help balance out the size of the bass. Too many bass stunts growth like in Wilgreen for instance you can catch 20 bass 10 to 14 inches and one over 3 pounds every couple months. I have fished there for three years now and it seems I catch teh same bass over and over. There are ALOT of bass in this small lake.

Smallies are excellent! haha just kidding.

I don't take any bass home. But after reading above posts, I'll have to try spots. I do bring bluegills and crappie when i catch them. Mostly in the spring when the crappie are shallow and i can find the gills in their big beds.

It is a weighed in fish that was dead and going to be thrown out there for the turtles. Last year at our Big Bass Classic we released 92 bass that was weighed in, several didn't make it up the hill cause they were small but out of these 92 I took home 4 fish that didn't make it in the recoup tanks and by the way even though it was July all were hooked deep cause all 4 had hooks still in the gut.3 even with the plastic. Them I keep and with uncle bucks batter YUMMY!!!

I fish for mostly crappie and bluegill and I only brought home fish one time last year in Kentucky to clean and eat - all bluegills and crappie.

I also fried up a few for dinner on a canoe camping trip in the BWCA last year.

The year before I might have brought home a few fish 3 or 4 times.

I only keep walleye and crappie to eat. Once in a blue moon I'll keep a spot/LM bass or 2 to eat. I never keep any SM bass.
