Question: I was fishing a small trout pond on Sunday?

( Back )

Answer #1:

I catch and release

Answer #2:

Largemouth bass is fine to eat, regardless of how "dirty" the river appears to be unless there is some sort of toxic runoff that dirt is exactly that dirt. Some people throw everything back, but part of the fun is eating what you catch. I will say that they are a bony fish and should be either descaled or filleted before eating. However no matter which way you look at it they are a bony fish to eat. I would much rather eat a good trout or catfish, but they're not bad eating at all.

Answer #3:

I frequently catch bass when fishing my local trout pound for trout, the trout are a put and take and I keep all the trout I catch to the limit. All the bass I throw back, in part it's the ponds regulation and the bass are not stocked. Where it's legal to keep a bass I will because they are good eating to. Why pay for a fishing license if you can't keep some fish for eating?

Answer #4:

I live on bass and deer meat. I always keep enough bass from each trip to stockpile enough to last me during the hunting season when I don't fish at all. And nature seemed to have designed the bass for filleting. You can fillet a small one and get more edible boneless fish from it then most other fish that you eat without filleting them. And I do not consider a bass to be a bony fish at all. You should start eating them.
