Ben, we all know that a sixteen inch bass is way better eating than a 30 pounder. The meat is more delicate and lighter in texture not the heavier texture of the bigger ones. Unfortunately we can't keep a couple littles one so once a year I take a 20 plus pounder home and steak her up for the BBQ. A little cajun spice/brown sugar rub and on the grille it goes. Bubba the Lobster obviously had paid his dues and was wily enough to evade capture so he deserves to live. Besides, I am told that bugs as big as bubba are tough when it comes to eating. Searuns in a month!!!!
