Question though: Who eats bass? Glenn maybe???? 

[Rebel SS]

Early season bass.......after June, it's fish flavored mush. Just like Lutefisk.

I eat Bass.   Vermilion smallies are delicious.   The largies probably are too, but they seem like they are all head and no meat.   So mostly I don't bother with them.  Nords are a little problem due to the 24 to 36 slot.   

Keeper walleye are a 15 mile one way boat ride....

Don't get me wrong I like a meal of sunfish.  But when a guy says he's a sunfish and nord guy it translates to I don't have enough skills to catch a walleye so I settle.

What you talking about Willis!

I only ate largemouth twice.  Once as a kid when my brother and me snuck into a private lake which also contained trout.  We kept a  couple of rainbows and three bass fishing off shore.  Those bass were very good.  The other time was down in Arkansas when we camped on Table Rock.  I caught some largemouth suspended in 80 feet of water.  We kept some and they were great also.  Ate plenty of smallmouths in the Arrowhead area and had them for shorelunch.  Could not tell the difference between them and walleyes.  The smallmouths in Clearwater Lake off the Gunflint Lake even had a little pink in their flesh [it's basicaly a lake trout lake].  good luck.

As kids catching sunnies a largemouth bass was a big bonus to us.  Ate many of them and tasted fine to us.  I used to enter a walleye tourney at West Bend on the Mighty Mo in South Dakota.  A friendly tourney mostly of guys from Luverne MN.  It was a great time.  Every year the smallies got bigger and bigger.  Man did they fight.  We ate lots of them.  They also tasted great.  The water was cold since this was in early May each year.  The walleye fishing was good too.  Now if I catch a smallie here on the river I let them go.

Bass ARE sunfish, ya know.  Look it up :)

I used to be anti-bass eatin' too but I've since seen the err of my ways.  Like any fish, you don't eat the huge ones, but the average size LM is a nice thick flaky white fillet and you'd never know it from Walleye if it were chunked-up on a plate together.

comparing it to walleye??????? only way theres flavor there is to add batter!!!!!!!!!!!

[The General]

I think you guys just ate a lot of dirt as kids and have acquired the taste of bass

Ya, my experience with largemouth bass hasn't been great, probably because of the time of year, late summer-early fall. Fun to catch but dirt flavored mush is about right! Smallmouth out of the rivers and streams in SE MN were fine early season.

smallies aint bad but largies aint al lthat good.

[glenn57]

Geez I need medical help. I tend to agree with both boar and da general! had large mouth smoked and pickled, there ok. Any other way they taste like crap , kinda like walleye!:rotflmao:smallies only way I cook them is on the grill.
