Had the Family over for fish fry, their was nine of us yesterday and their was a lot of fried crappie to go around. I had a package of YELLOW BASS that I had cleaned for a teste test after reading about yellow bass here on the TFF.

A platter of fried Yellow Bass was pass around the table for trial and the table fair was praised and pronounce GOOD!

The texture was much lighter than white bass, and it tested very much like crappie. There was really no red meat in the fish and there was no fish flavor at all even though the fish had been frozen. The Yellow Bass is a fine flavoried Table Fare and worth the effort. The only down side of the fish is it's size, but it's still larger than blue-gills and there is plenty of them.

They make execellent table fare, they just don't get that big. They can be very fun to catch as well.

Any good lakes around DFW to catch eating numbers?

Benbrook is the best lake that I know of. They are everywhere.

Tawakoni has abundance of them.

Schweet, thanks.

And the good news is no size limit and no limit numbers. Very good to eat.

oh noooooooo the secret is out. if you want to know the lingo anything over 5" is a magnum yeller

Richland Chambers also has a healthy population.

Lake Arlington has a ton but 10 inches is about the biggest Ive seen.

Are bar fish and yellow bass the same fish?

Yes they are.

wonder if the yellow/white hybrids taste as good?

wonder if yellow snow taste good? aint trying that one...

Ray Hubbard has some mongloid yellers in it too! mean little fellers.. they flare up thier gills when you go to take the hook out..

caught about thiry on rayburn two days ago, those things are funny, they were everywhere, hitting everything from whole and cut shad to catfish eggs. cleaned about twenty of them for my own taste test, but i have heard they were good and its good to hear someone confirm that.
