Camanche Monster 15.2 lb LMB 28 inches

That would be a monster rockfish if it was in the salt.

Huge bass, wonder if it was released.

are they good to eat at that size? Are they good eating at all? I've never seen anyone keep one.

They are good, but think most people avoid due to mercury etc.

Standard " FISHSNIFFER " pose , arms extended to make fish look larger than it really is ! Don't know why tho with a fish already nice sized and a new record ?

While large individuals of any fish are not as good to eat as smaller ones, LMB and SMB can be quite tasty.  Its all about the cleanliness of the water body they came from.  I used to camp and fish along the Black River on the Apache Indian Reserve in Eastern Arizona and we would live off SMB for several days straight.  Delicious!


Totally deceiving fishsniffer pose.

WoW that thing is huge!! I was camping there that weekend and heard a big one was caught but wow!

From what I I have been told, it was released.
