[quote doggonefishin]To repeat, there is NO advisory for any toxin for the white bass or panfish at Utah lake.[/quote]

That says white bass are borderline. The reason the big fish have unsafe levels of PCBs is that they eat the little fish. When you eat a lot of the little fish, you become the big fish and the PCBs accumulate in your fatty tissues just like it does in theirs.
Listening to the people who said UL is fine and safe, I went and caught a bunch of white bass and cleaned them in my sink at home and ate some fillets and I can tell you that they taste and smell different, like there's a little bit of detergent in them. I won't be catching any more fish to eat there.
