I caught a humongous Smallmouth bass some years back that would have been the state record if I had not ate it!

I do not eat bass. I do not find it tasty. I do sometimes keep them and give them to some of the old people in the village. They make a stew out of them. I don't care for the taste of bass, so I normally chuck it back in the water - if I caught it by mistake.

Most of my fishing these days is 'sight fishing'. I can see the fish I'm trying to catch and I present them with a fly that I try to make match their current diet. It's hard, but that's my favorite type of fishing.

I do not usually eat it either, but it was me and my kids when they were young and they were impressed with the huge fish and wanted to eat it so I fried the shit out of it. It wasn't that good. The damned thing was 29 inches long, it was a monster bass. I probably shouldn't have ate it, but I did

For part of the year (in my area) they're likely to contain parasites. I guess the parasites mostly die off in the winter and then increase in numbers during the warmer days of summer. Something like that.

However, I didn't learn that from my guide buddy. So, for all I know it's a wives tale.

Either way, I've tried it and did not like it. I did not like it one bit.
