Nice catches. Admittedly, I haven't started this season yet but I'm going to prepare to fishing in the spring. Some pics from expedition by the river thru all night.










Some lads:
Pike ~40 cm





Perch ~25 cm





Usually I catch them by spinner.

Your bass, looks like our yellow perch.

Indeed. In Latin it is Perca fluviatilis. Description changed.

No better eating than bass, perch and pike IMO!

Smoked eel is also good.
