We have to put all bass back under 14 inches in these waters so I throw hundreds of bass back every year targeting sunfish......I would prefer to keep a few 12 inch bass which are the best to eat but I stuff the bigger filets with crab meat or blacken them cajun style with lots of butter and cayene pepper.......Just like every other species some have to be harvested.......

LOL sorry it just popped into my head.

LOL..oh man..now I have a new nick for the males.."spermers".LOL Great to see some folks eat greenies, rather than treating them like fish made of gold. Great as a sport fish, but at the same time, their population required management for optimal growth and size diversity for future games. Hope they tasted great Jeffrey.
