When compared to Yellow Perch, Whities pale. They have mushier meat, and seem to have more parasites. Enjoy!

White bass aren't as good of eating as perch, crappie, bluegills, or walleye, because the meat is mushier. However to get on school of them is like fishing for crappies on steroids. Best lures are white curly tail grubs, smaller rat l traps, and sometimes small poppers. Great fun and they really do help keep baitfish populations in check because they are so prolific. We have some good whitie lakes in Eastern CO. Fishing for them is fun because when your fishing whities, you can sometimes catch pike, walleyes, trout, crappies, even catfish. And of course watch out for pig wipers.

there is this one lake in pa that when they start chasing it is so funny. the white bass are busting on shad but the birds are tryin to eat the white bass and then the white bass are tryin to eat the birds. this lake is where the state record came from. one time we were fishin a tourney and we were using tube and we would swim them over where the whites bass were busting and i caught a keeper largemouth bass for the tourney and had a bite off.
