We like them. I always brine them in salt water just after filleting for 24 hours in the ice box. I use Andy's mix with a little cayenne and deep fry em.

I eat them all the time, along with largemouth and smallmouth bass as well.
White bass are excellent, the dark red meat is thick muscle and does give a heavy fish flavor and cooks up to a dark gray color, it doesn't bother me but the wife kids don't care for it so I take a little extra time when cleaning the fish and cut that red meat out. If you're skilled with an electric knife it really doesn't take much extra time to do.

I ate them a few times when I was younger. I don't care for them now.
I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

When younger, we used to catch a lot of white bass. If you cut the red line out and then soak them in salt water for a 4-5 days in the bottom of the fridge where it almost or does freeze the top of the water in the bowl, they will firm up nicely and not be fishey. I do not eat yellow bass, because they are too fishey.... Good luck.

I wouldn't give a nickel for a dump truck full of white bass. Too oily and strong fishy for me and all the family. We used to catch a lot of them growing up and my dad always gave them away. After growing up and trying some for myself, I now know why.
On the other hand, the yellows are a sweeter meat and excellent table fare. I do remove the red line from the larger ones, but I've never found them to be fishy. Me and all of the family like em!
