Do you eat the fish you catch in Arizona or release them?

How many of you eat the bass you catch? Or are most of y’all fishing for the sport of it? — Travis C Patrick

.

Worthy

I eat every bass I catch. Not as good as sunfish or crappie, but still worth eating. — Chris Coats

.

Put ‘em back

Sport! Put the bass back. — Alan DeVries

.

Move on

Y’all are fishing the wrong waters ... if your bass don’t taste good find cleaner water. — Clayton Morgan

.

Choices

Sport. But if the person fishing has a license and wants to keep it, more power to him or her. — Bernard Hernandez

.

Right back

I normally toss right back in the water. — James Ray

.

Nope

Stop eating the bass, this is why we can’t have nice things. — Dominic Martinez

.

Be free!

Catch and release everything we catch. — Chris Puchi

.

Yum

Always wanted to try it. People are against it, other people eat them. Heard they taste good. — Cody Siow

.

Just two

I only keep two for dinners and throw rest back. — Mike Crider

.

Small

We eat most of the bass we catch. Never bigger ones (3+) it really helps them grow. There is too much competition for food, that’s why most Arizona bass are so small. — Matt Servis

.

The best

Largemouth best eating fresh-water fish in my opinion. Only time I throw them back if it’s a catch-and-release place. — Marco Bisani

.

Better

Depends on if I’m hungry for fish or not ... it’s damn good though not gonna lie, I’d even say better then some catfish. — Tyler Roberts

.

Sometimes

I do when it isn’t spawning season. — Tom Simpson

.

Costly

By the time I catch ‘em they cost about the same as king crab legs, so I eat ‘em. — Dave Gallinger

.

Not tasty

Sport when it comes to bass. Hard enough to catch them at time in Arizona due to weather, golden algae. Plus, bass just isn’t that tasty; trout and cats are way better and hold more nutrients for us compared to bass. — Kenneth R Millea

.

Not usually

Bass aren’t really one of my favorite tasting fish ... Only time I keep one is when I hook it badly and figure it’s going to die anyway... — Dane Hewitt

.

Eat ‘em all

Eat every ... one of them! Bass are delectable! — Austin Garcia

.

Golden brown

Love them when there that golden brown color and dripping with oil. — Scott Williams
