Also, branch out into trolling and you’ll open more options!A bass is a fish. A fish that doesn't require man made stocking programs and politicians to lobby on its behalf. It's a fish that doesn't require toll free hotlines and a lawyer to tell you if it's legal to be fished for. Its just a fish not some expensive science experiment like some other fish I know of.

A fish that requires a $70k boat, and twenty preset poles, only to kiss the ones you catch, and throw them back.LOLJ/kYou should have seen the look on the faces of the bass fisherman at Loon Lake when I told them I was going to cook the 8lb 12oz large mouth I caught, totally by accident trolling for Kokanee for dinner!Made for some fantastic fillets!

Do bass fisherman not eat bass? I've eaten bass and I've never tried to catch one.

January 1st to December 31st = BASS!!! People have gotten so good at catching bass all year round you could fill every opening in your fishing schedule with Bass. Don't be fooled by their warm water reputation the big ones get caught all the time in cooler weather. My biggest fish typically come in April and early November.

You can eat them but only out of the right water, they taste like their environment and that's typically nasty water for largies.Smallmouth make decent fish and chips but again, needs to be the right water and like all of our fish anymore you gotta be careful about mercury levels etc..I caught a tagged smallie on Whatcom one year and released it. Caught the same fish the following year off the same piling and it was 3/4lbs bigger, pretty cool!I haven't harvested a bass for about ten years now, too many other better tasting fish out there.BTW, seen plenty of salmon sleds and bay boats that run WAY north of $70k, are they really neccessary? Just sayin. We all have our splurges.
