I seem to catch plenty of white bass when I'm out on the water. So many I figured I'd take a few home with me one of these days. But a friend told me yesterday that white bass are trash fish and not any good eating. Since I haven't been fishing in years I am left feeling a bit puzzled, so I figured I would submit a poll here.

Are white bass worth taking home to the frying pan? :06:

Feed the racoons with that. They're not from the Mississippi ?

I am biased though, Ever since I discovered salt water fishing, I haven't gone fresh water fishing.:D

Krashkart, come deep sea fishing w/ me.:D

Hey McBee, if I ever get out to Oregon can I park my rusty RV in your driveway? I'm sure you can find enough space to park on the street. :O::salute:

White bass are an extremely tasty fish. The trick is cleaning them and preparing them correctly.

Remove the "red" meat from them during cleaning - as well as the skin.

If your going to smoke them you can leave the skin on - but if your going to fry them up - it has to come off. Filet's are fantastic.

They are a great "fresh" fish to eat - if your going to freeze them, do so in some catch water - to keep the taste and texture. Otherwise you lose out.

Enjoy!

Aha! I knew someone had to have their head screwed on straight. They just don't look like a trash fish to me. And to top it off they're a fun fish to catch. I'll take your advice the next time I'm out and see what's what. :)

Lucky for you I don't actually own an RV, but if I did it would be a redneck special. :haha:
