Nice catch.
I have no problem with people keeping a legal catch, but I would have concerns about eating very many meals of the larger bass. Their mercury levels are pretty high. You might be better off eating the smaller less piscavorious fish. Panfish and rainbow trout are usually lower in mercury. Some areas are worse than others.
