Keeping bass that are getting ready to spawn

Say you catch some big females that are full of eggs and have obviously not spawned. What does the OB do?

Oh and since I didn't answer my own question. I release them as well.

Sometimes release, sometimes fry up the roe with the filets.

Similar to speckled trout roe, but not as salty. I roll em in Zatarains and throw them in the grease. Watch out for the "pops"! Good stuff, I normally cook them first and eat them while I am frying the filets

Depends on where I am fishing, but I follow this rule all times of the year and I usually end up with only a couple females with eggs:
Keep anything legal under 3ish pounds. Throw anything back over 3ish pounds unless I plan on mounting it.

I throw the big ones back unless they swallow the hook. Or I have a fish fry planned and I'm having a tough day.

I catch her in the Fall and fry her up. Same net number of fishes, but my conscience feels good.

Release them . I usually only keep yearling bass about a pound and a half or two pounds
