Thanks for the kind words. The reason it bothered me so much is I don't like the taste of bass. I prefer crappie or bluegill so bass is strictly a C&R fish for me.
But, since I killed it, I felt it was the right thing to do to eat it.
I actually have trouble unhooking any fish with more than one treble hook. I'm 40 and fished all my life, if I haven't got the hang of it by now I need to give up. LOL!
