Catch Clean and Cook Bass.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Everyone wants to know why we kept the larger fish. Well, it got hooked in that bad spot behind the tongue and bled out. I rather eat him than leave it out there for the gators.

Backwoods Gourmet Channel ok good I would have been mad I hunt but I just hate killing bass

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Don't be mad either way. These fish are not threatened or rare around here. Just a good one.

[@coltincaudill9574]

It’s not good to keep big ones because people fish tournaments and need those big bass

[@jamessmith785]

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone brother. If you're within the fish and wildlife regulations then I say grill it up man. And to everyone who's hating on him let the fish and game wardens regulate the fisheries. That's what the regs are for. If they were threatened they would change the laws to protect them much like they did here in Florida with Red Snapper.

[@danwactor329]

Awesome man, I have bass fries all the time

[@RNC_Aeronauticals]

My grandfather had a filet knife similar to yours, and he loved it. It was the first knife I ever used to filet my first fish when I was about 7 or 8. Your video has brought back many memories. RIP granddad!

[@califtom]

I don't understand why more people don't eat bass. They're a meaty fish and they cook up great.

[@search1159]

cause they’re better to keep on catching. especially out of ponds it type retarded to take a 6lber out a pond smh leave them genes in there

[@bamboopanda1626]

Someone told me they didn't know that they could and they thought it was tough to eat once. It might just be that they think they're not good eating fish.

[@khimmones9026]

i think it’s because they are caught for fun in local ponds(most times) where they are put there and people have trash and the public pond/lake looks dirty at times. but if it was wild i would totally go for it

[@kevinguitard4986]

100 percent agreed with you. Bass is very nutrition brain food. Caught a 22 in her this morning

[@paulgillett4844]

I think a lot of it is because they are believing what they're told or read that only panfish or walleye are what is good to eat. Wrong! That or they're bad cooks and don't know how to properly clean and prepare bass. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are excellent fish to eat...they taste great baked, fried, grilled etc.

[@spideymcgee4718]

Came to see how to filet a bass and I subscribed with how impressed I was with his clean. That and when he said "before everything was made in an China". Thanks for sharing and I'm happy I found this channel.

[@roberthanan1096]

I scaled and gutted a bass and grilled it over coals and it was the best tasting fish ever. I was rather drunk at the time though.

I wouldn't say bass is the best. It is good, but crappie is better.

[@adamreed9126]

Love me some bass! Been eating my whole life. People say it's only a sport fish until they try it...

[@lawrencecates8402]

Yes bass are very good and healthy to eat. And need to remember that largemouth & smallmouth are in the sunfish family not even a true bass . So delicious. I always take some home to eat and put a few back works out pretty well.

[@andrewoswalt9552]

Made a big batch tonight and it's great. My wife makes some great shrimp and grits and the recipe is practically identical. Never thought to do it with fish, but I'm glad to have another way to fix bass now.

[@capnbobretired]

Respect, Sir: There were a lot of things on that plate I do not normally care for, but watching you make it, if I had ordered it in a fancy $100 a plate restaurant, I'm sure I would have eaten every morsel and licked the porcelain clean when no one was looking. You are a legend to the men of cast iron.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@krga94c]

I never could relate to catching any fish just for the sport. I love to eat fish. And I love to eat bass, and I've enjoy them since I was a kid. They're one of my favorite fish to eat. So I appreciate videos like this with tasty recipes. After all it's what people have done with fish for throughout our history of existence - eat them. For those who think that all of a sudden that bass now only exist for them to bury a sharp hook into, pull out of the water, gawk at, and release; or that it's sacrilege keep and eat, so be it, if that's what you like to do...more for me. Just don't criticize those who catch and eat.

[@jasonkenner2840]

You have mad fileting skills. Thanks for the recipes and ideas, will definitely be trying some soon.

This is so damn southern, that’s how I know it’s gonna be good. Don’t think I’m being sarcastic. Black or white, southerners just know how to cook like nobody’s business. No white jokes about not putting seasoning when it comes to southern people.

[@danclay8229]

Funny you would say that. Watching it I was thinking "I don't know where this guy is from but it is not from the South." No one would prepare the fish like that in the South. Not the woods part of the South anyway. Everything is way too "gourmet".

[@mr.csurvival8794]

Shit we cook hog nuts and they taste good

[@cain1160]

Too many ingredients for my liking. I'm a dude that is so cut and dry it makes me look stupid at times. If it was a 25 oz. Open range fed Ribeye, just maybe three ingredients is all you need on the best grill/ smoker your money can buy.

[@joeschmo9838]

That's how we came to stomach what we're offered, shit loads of seasoning xD

[@dsjoyful14ever]

Hi Backwoods Gourmet: I just want to share that I really enjoy watching your video's and cooking recipes. Thank you so much for doing what you do for the enjoyment of your viewers. This dish is simple but just looked so good. It reminds me of my 103 year old grandmother (still has all her mental acuities-sharp as a tack). For 40 years she lived with my Grandpop in South Carolina and they had a huge veggie garden out back of their house on several acres of land. She used to grow okra and many other veggies and just made the most delicious homemade veggie soup I have ever tasted. Grandpop turned me on to having grits for breakfast with a little butter and honey and also as a side dish for dinner with a hint of cheese. The scallions are a terrific addition to your grits. Yummy!!!

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Sounds like I would have loved to eat a meal at your grandparents house. I had similar experiences with my grandparents and am trying to keep this kind of cooking alive in a McDonald's 21st century world. I do not want the old ways and dishes to be lost in a fast food culture. Thanks for watching and your's is the best comment I have had in quite a while.

I agree. If you want to save the fish from harm, then don't catch them at all. Like releasing before you catch. DON'T BOTHER THEM AT ALL.

[@5.0_patino69]

It’s fun to fish bass for game. Some fisherman don’t even like fish they just love the game. I know plenty of bass fisherman though that will eat bass. Me personally I won’t. But i love to eat catfish !

[@JadedVibes]

2 tips. 1. Don't leave your shotgun by a screened in area. Perpetrators can easily get to it before you. 2. If you cut the onion instead of pulling it out with the roots, it'll grow back, giving you a lot more use.

I just prepared some bass the same way I do red fish for the first time on the half shell so basically fillet it off of the bone but leave the skin on one side slather with olive oil and season how u like the put meat side down for about 4 mins on the BBQ grill then meat side up for 2 minutes to release it from skin these time may very from fish size and fillet thickness it turned out amazing have been doing redfish for years like this and said why not try bass

[@garyheaton4791]

There are small glands on the sides of the fish that need to be removed if you are not a fan of fresh water fish. A friend showed me how to do it...after that my wife loves fresh bass!! She never ate fresh water fish before that because of the taste. I live on the shore line of lake Ontario..but lake Erie is only about 40 min away, and they have some of the best small mouth fishing I have ever seen. At the end of Ontario here where the St. Lawrence water way is there are some monster large mouth. No like fla of course, but still good eating fish!
