In terms of table fare, I find white bass flesh to be just above suckers/carps.  For one thing, many fish have that blood line meat which is the lateral line sensory organ that's has a potent undesirable flavor.  Taking time to selectively cut it out helps a lot.

In general when catching white bass, the larger ones are females while the smaller ones are usually males.  In early spring fishing, it's usually the females that swims upstream to spawning areas before the males.  The earlier fish, in cooler waters usually have better flesh taste too.  In general too the fish that have a nice layer of fat, usually has better tasting flesh too.

Anyways my love for white bass is simply they are easy to catch and they fight hard when they get hooked.  Yet 99% of the time it's easy to land them.

White bass swim too hard and need a lot of foods
for energy. So, they eat a lot. Hence, get hooked
easily.

I went fishing and there was this guy who acted shy next to me.
But after I asked him one question, he spoke up and gave me
complete information from why I couldn't cast far to jerking a bait and
all those spots and greatest times for white bass at one of our local lakes.
He said what you
said, VH--that females come in the early springs and are indeed bigger. Males guard the eggs
later on and they are much smaller.

That's someone with real experience and time put into fishing there.

That master wouldn't give me his number for follow-ups or other inquiries such as his
favorite spots elsewhere.
