I have pulled in hundreds of LMB and out of all those I have only kept 3 legal ones that got injured during the fight. I love fishing for them with ultralight gear. And I have to admit they do taste good but would rather target sand bass or rock fish for eating.

I've always C&R'd LMB but last year when I fished Lake El Salto, "fish fingers" was on the lunch menu one day and we were each responsible for bringing in a LMB of 3-4 lbs pounds. That was rather difficult considering most of the catch was over 6 lbs!! So, when we returned to base, the fish was prepared by the gourmet chef, and at first I didn't want to eat it because of what it was, but when I did.....it was light, fluffy and golden crispy brown .....man it was grrreat! Must be from all the Tilapia that the LMB eats in Lake El Salto. That was the only time I had LMB. Not to brag, but here's a picture of the largest one of many LMB I caught over 6 lbs on a swim-bait.

Never tried eating Green bass but I have heard it's pretty good from a couple people who have eaten it. I don't doubt that it's good...but why would you want to eat one when there are so many better fish to eat around here...?
