Live2fish85 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) thanks for the edit live2fish85 No problem figured I would just leave it be. Keep the fish pics coming though. Always enjoy seeing pics even if it is cooked and makes me hungry. Edited July 29, 2011 by Live2fish85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carp Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 So you don't have a problem with her looking at you while you're eating her tail ?? You didn't do anything wrong. Thanks for the report. I do agree smaller fish are best for eating and have fewer toxins built up in their bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanT Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Tell the guy to mind his own buisiness ABSOLUTELY!! Should have told nosy to mind his own business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjgraham Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Well that guy probably should have minded his own business, but he was correct about keeping the smaller ones. General rule is big fish have a high reproductive success, pass on the best genetics(survival of the fittest) produce more eggs, and as for a bass be able to guard the nest better. And as for toxicology bigger fish generally mean older fish which mean higher concentraions of toxins especially mercury and PCB's. I work for Fisheries and Oceans and see a few toxicology reports here and there. Small fish do mean they are young. Actively feeding healthy fish will grow, and a bass will grow past 1 to 2 lbs pending on the size of its habitat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eman Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Personally, I always throw the big ones back. Take a picture and let her go to produce offspirng and hopefully catch another day. The smaller ones are usually tastier too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Tell the guy to mind his own buisiness Pretty much. You released 2 fish and kept one.. Don't feel bad about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Like others have said, I prefer bass in the 1.5 to 2 pound range, but I don't recall ever keeping a bass that large (3+) for the table anyway, so I can't really comment on the taste factor, but the bioaccumulation/age thing is certainly true.

Joeytier Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Plus, it's only a bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossover Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I kind of prefer the bigger ones since I absolutely hate playing around with the smaller bones when trying to eat it, but the only time I ever eat a fish is when I'm 4 hours up north.

Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 3 pounds isn't a huge bass, don't feel bad about keeping it at all. I've had a guy say "What are you doing, cleaning bait?" when I was cleaning 14-15" bass in a fish hut. Some people just need to mind their own business. What did make me angry was when I saw a bunch of bass (a couple at least 4lbs) with their heads chopped off laying in a boat launch at Baptiste lake last year. Why the hell would somebody kill bass then just throw the bodies in the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocoda Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Pregnant..that must be some strong genetic therapy he/she is on...I remember my wife telling me something like that was on Opera once you need to fix the "tune out switch" when your wife is talking about Oprah to you ...
