Rock Bass are a boon for kids fishing around the docks. I don't find them boney but I find them almost as tasty as blue gill. Its funny that we love our invasive white perch while Lake Champlain anglers are trying to kill them off?

I agree with your statement re: white perch, Champ, and the different perspectives.
"One man's junk is another's treasure."
Rock bass are another thing, IMO.
They're multiplying rapidly in Winni. Every one of them is eating forage that would put more weight on the more desirable species. They're detrimental to the lake! They obviously, never should have been put in there. Shame on those that did!
Re: boon to the kids, there's plenty of fish to be caught in Winni and many other NH water bodies. I'm all about getting kids introduced/addicted to fishing but have never been a fan of participation awards/rewards.
