White Bass

[Bubbadust]

Just curious if anybody eats white bass. I've heard that some people eat them, but I always heard growing up that they weren't very good.

Just curious...I catch a few on Lake Zumbro (by Rochester), but don't intend to ever eat them.

I tried every fish I've or someone else caught and personally they all taste the same but having different texture. And yeah white bass tastes great.

I've had white bass before. As long as you cut out the dark lateral line that you will find once you have cleaned them they taste just fine. The one I had was a larger one and had a tougher texture if I remeber correctly but tasted just fine to me. Give one a try, you have nothing to loose.

We kept a bunch of smaller ones from Devils Lake earlier this summer, crappie sized, half pound or some even a little under. They weren't walleyes definitely, but they were still quite good. We'd tried some out of Lake Oahe last year, after throwing a bunch back & found out they were pretty decent. They're definitely better than largemouth bass.

I kept some smaller ones out of pokegama last summer and I thought they were pretty good.

I eat alot of fish and I think I'am pretty discriminating when it comes to the various tastes...the little White Bass were good!

Fisher Ed...Not to worry, it was the one down by Pine City.

Hey Grebe, what Pokegama are you talking about? Is it the one in Grand Rapids or a different one? Just curious as I am originally from that area and have never heard of them in there before.
