Do You feel sorry ....?

In a world of less compassion for absolutely everything, darn near every day .....
Do you feel sorry ....for them bass mixed in with them crappie in the ice chest ? :Rofl
Or might you feel sorry for the folks I gave them to ? :dono
No worries here , we are bass compassion free , marked safe if you will from feeling sorry for a bass that bites a crappie jig when the crappie bite is a bit slow and the folks want fish to eat ....
So in a world of less compassion , I want to make it clear ,we are in that line if a bass gets on our line in this situation ....:Rofl
I would not eat them myself most of the time , but other folks that like fish , are often happy to see them in the ice chest ....
KABOOM is me .....:highfive

KABOOM, good job bro

I am sure your folks were happy to get them some bass filets along with the silver beauties.

Good post. Personally, I prefer to eat crappie, but a sauger or gill/shellcracker big enough to fillet is perfectly welcome to supper.

But if the fish aren’t cooperative and I’m scraping for a certain minimum number to make a meal, yeah smaller bass are gonna hit the ice too [emoji6]

I’m another that prefer crappie but I would eat bass if needed. Been a long time since I’ve had bass though.

there was a time though WAY back when that I ate a few black bass , fed a small army one evening at a fish fry with 2 BIG 5 plus bass I jerked out of the water that morning , twins per say .....made some big thick beautiful filets and cut up into a big ole bowl of nuggets , no one had any complaints ...:cheers2

the looks on their face made it very clear that they were happy to consume them , apparently the lady cooking them ,bakes them outside on the grill in a big foil pan with a bunch of different spices and butter and lemon and according to the crew she had carrying the ice chest ....
just WOW tasty ...

I have an ole buddy that would rather eat them as any fish that swims personally i don't get it but to each their own...

If you ask me 2-3 years ago I would be sad, nowadays not so much. No I still don’t eat bass and haven’t touch crappie for the last 2 years but would gladly give some to friends and family if they want to.

I pretty much like to eat fish, period. Some are better than others but there are not many exceptions to what I will eat. Especially if I caught it.

I haven't kept a bass since 1994 but have no problem with someone keeping a few 2-3lbers for a meal. I feel sorry for the little bass that eat my jig with a 2/0 hook and get hooked around or in the eye. Removing some can be good for the crappie giving them more potential food so they grow faster.

I grew up eating bass, lot’s of them. Not so much anymore, except for an occasional bleeder.
This one got a pass. Caught on a 14ft BnM and 1/16th oz jig.

If I have folks that want them I will bring them in and filet them right along with the crappie. A pull is a pull and a lip piercing is a lip piercing. Especially this time of year when the bass are hitting most anything that hits the water and the crappie are just sitting around waiting on whatever it is they are waiting on. Y’all get that figured out please post it.
I just like to fish and feel the pull when things are slow. Heck I can get excited about a gar or drum this time of year.

I release all the bass I catch. I want to leave them for the bass fishermen. I don't want any more bass fishermen to coverting to crappie fisherman. :)

Haven’t thought about it like that. But great point!

Bass fillets are best marinated in tournament fishermen's tears .:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
