You know I just really despise Yellow Bass...I cant tell you how many times I have been stuck by these critters. What good are they other than stealing your minner, sticking you with their fins... or slicing my thumb wide open with thier sharp gill plate to where I needed stitches when i tried to nicely release him of course. The COUP DEGRA was when I did try to clean a few big enough to fillet I found countless baby crappie in their Guts. I Hate Yellow Bass. I wish i could eliminate every darn one of them from the face of the earth...but you know that ain't going to happen because they are EVERYWHERE!!! by the millions. This fish gets my vote for most my pain and suffering in a boat. What's yours. LOL
