It depends where the bass was caught. A nasty canal or small lake, Hell No! I might consider trying one that was caught in a large body of water, such as everglades or Lake Okeechobee.

X2 I would also consider trying one and probably only one from a true freshwater body. But when I'm fishing the lakes and canals and somebody comes up asking why I'm not keeping/eating it and can they have it that really pisses me off... mind your own business and if you really want Mercury poisoning and whatever other parasites/chemicals are there catch them yourself but I guess that's too difficult for some.

Re: would you eat......
By me I'm surrounded by farms and the run offs are what feed into most of the lakes up here. To much fertilizer for me to risk it. Not to mention we have numerous other better tasting fish

Re: would you eat......
Today NO, I have a rule not to eat any fresh water fish caught South of Lake O, but I think now I need to move the border farther North. Why -- Chemicals from runoff and direct dumping by cattle, grass, and sugar farmers into the drainage systems which connect to most all canals and ponds the flow managed nicely by the SFWMD (water fugger uppers).
Was raised in S. Miami in the 50's and 60's we ate plenty of bass from the neighborhood lakes "Westwood Lakes" , but no way today.
Today I'd even question salt water caught fish within sight of shore, even though I do eat fish caught, and speared, off the Broward, Dade, and Monroe coast on reefs, not to mention lobster caught.

Re: would you eat......
Nope, as a rule of thumb, I don't eat any freshwater fish from South FL.
But, I did eat the hell out of some fried specks (crappie) and frog legs after duck hunting on Lake Okeechobee last weekend, and they were great. I may grow a 3rd eye, we'll see.
