Ever had striped bass caviar?

Take it for what it is but I've read somewhere that when the bass are up here and they still have eggs in them, they missed their spawning cycle. So those eggs might be a little, uhh, old. There is also supposedly a color significance where red was missed spawn, green was pre spawn or way after shoulda spawned...

Now if you are getting eggs on prespawn fish - that's obviously not good - not illegal but not good either...

Any one else have any information about the color of striper roe, and if it can be used to make caviar?

I think I have caught fish with both red and green eggs, would it be any good?

I don't think I'd like green caviar, but maybe
