Honestly I don't fish bass until after the walleye are done spawning. Walleye, trout, smallmouth then largemouth bass for me.

I assume you eat all those bass?
I do.

ETA: We don’t eat the big ones. These are private lakes. Generally,
the management plan calls for releasing all bass over 16”.

Some bigger fish are injured so they are kept to eat. A lake that is
limed and fertilized and has a bream feeding program plus
threadfin Shad introduced needs 50 pounds per acre of bass
removed per year.

So a 70 acre lake would need 3500 pounds of bass removed each year.

So yeah. We have a lot of fish fries.

Went and caught 25 of those wild public water white perch today
and had a little fish fry.

Damn good.
