A friend directed me to a local fishing web site. One of the
discussion pages was about freshwater fishing. I was amazed to see
pictures of guys holding up stringers of dead bass like it was still
1954.

I don't think I have killed a bass on purpose in over 20 years and I
don't think I know anyone who still keeps bass. Do any of you folks
eat bass?

Sure.
I generally don't even fish for bass exclusively, but I'll fillet a few
1-3 pounders iffen I gitem :-)
I eat the majority of everything I catch: crappie and bream (favs),
stripe (white bass), sauger, catfish, even drum.
Ask about my carp cakes recipe, too!
