So my questions for you are:
Which species is more fun to catch and which species is better to eat?

Thanks for your post. Until today, I was not even aware there was a yellow bass. If I have ever caught one, I labeled it as a white bass. After a bit of research, I believe I can now identify the difference and have some Idea of their distribution. Thanks again. It is amazing, with 60+ plus years of fishing addiction and a passion for knowledge of the sport, all over the world, how little I really know. I guess that is what makes it so alluring.

Hello and thanks for the reply.I like both, actually - I fish for what's biting ! Both species were not native to NW GA/SE TN but they have become well-established. The perch demand colder water and are locally abundant but not as widely distributed.
What kind of fishing is available in your area ? JG

I don't suppose that there is a yellow bass within a thousand miles of the great state of Washington ! (Never been there, but I assume that it's great) Probably a lot more/better fishing than around here. The Y bass is very similar to the white perch of the eastern seaboard, with different coloration.

Different, yes. Better, I don't know. I am sitting here watching guys catch 20 pound cats on TV and I am drooling. Yet, I am minutes away from the boat ramp that will have me over schools of flat fish in 30 minutes. When I was in Alaska catching 100 pound plus halibut and a boatload of salmon, I would watch TV and get envious if guys catching six pound stripers in Arazona, or a bucket load of crappie in Kansas. When I came home from a season in Alaska, I would get in my float tube and enjoy catching 4 inch bluegill on my fly rod over going out on the salt trolling for salmon. Outstanding fishing is what you make it. That being said, variety is the spice of life.
