Large Mouth Bass are NOT illegal to catch & eat in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts... They must be at least 7lbs. in weight... Some of the best LMB I've ever eaten, had come out of a mill-pond, in Middlesex County. Most enjoyable meals of freshwater fish for me, have been the mixed Fish-Fries we'd had, when I was in High School, in the early to mid 1970's, in MA. Bass, Bluegills, Sunfish.
Able,Largemouth in Massachusetts only have to be 12inches long to keep/eat, 5fish per day. Same as Connecticut. I don't know where you heard 7lbs?
