There's a big discussion on the Toledo Bend Facebook page about this.

If I get to go on my one to two trips a year, I'll keep some to eat. I love eating them.

Anything over 3-4 lbs I usually throw back

I only keep under 3lbs and I love eating them. I grew up bass fishing so it's a favorite of mine.

Never keep any over 4
Never keep a female full of eggs

Try to only keep 4-5 a trip.

I'll load up on white perch though. No mercy.

Seems to me like bass out of the big lakes don't taste near as good as bass out of a small pond. I think it has to do with the lake bass feeding on shad.

My bad it was only five fish for over 36 pounds. Friend that fished it, said that none were over eight pounds or under seven.

Not particularly good fish to eat imo. I'd rather catch a bunch of bass and eat a bunch of crappie.


Edit: I see a lot disagree with this. Maybe I just haven't had good bass

I keep em. I eat em. I like em.

How many people keep fish in Toledo? Best bass lake in the nation.

The catch and release guys really are a miserable bunch of fricks.

1-2 lbs are delicious fried. Coat meat with mustard, Louisiana hot sauce and meal...fry...delicious!

I've made ceviche out of very fresh bass out of a private lake (under one pound). Also delicious.

Bass fished alot growing up but I've never eaten one. My dad and I always practiced catch and release. Nothing against those that keep them though....no different than filling an ice chest with specks. I'm kinda curious how they taste to be honest

I mostly bass fish for fun. But every now and then I'll keep some to eat. My own personal rule is nothing under 12" and nothing over 17". I'll occasionally bend that rule just a little if I'm having trouble getting a limit.

I grew up bass fishing but I've never had one. My dad said they are gross so we never kept any. Now I'm curious.

It tastes too fishy for me. I really only eat catfish and speckled trout
