[quote Bassnbob]Do not eat Bass! Bass very, very bad for you!! Remember don't eat Bass!!! [cool][/quote]
bad for you or bad for the bass? [

We've got so many stunted bass in some lakes, Utah encourages the take-keep of smaller bass. I do what I can to "help" on occasion.
So - I know they have these warnings and all, and I do appreciate the concern - but honestly - are our locally fresh caught- wild fish going to better or worse than those shrink wrapped Walmart - farmed in China fish "products" that stores sell? Or other "fresh" fish - from farms, or Indonesian waters....
In general I think Cpierce has made the point - bigger is badder. It's the top-carnivores, and older fish that will be a bigger threat.
I've got a chart somewhere with guidelines on how much/how often different groups of fish are considered "safe" (long as you not pregnant, or an infant).
So a pan full of perch is safer than a swordfish steak.
Anyone want to compare Fish Toxicity vs farmed chicken, beef, pork? Worry on it too much, and it's time to be a vegetarian, and grow your own!
just wash it down with a good beer, and you'll just pee out all the toxins! [laugh][crazy]
