Bass Catch, Clean & Cook on a Camp Fire | Sea Fishing UK

I'm normally a catch and release angler (and my filleting skills prove this) but, while on a multi-day lure and kayak fishing trip, I decided to keep one of my fish and cook it on the open fire. This was the first bass I've kept in 5 years and really enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy the video.

Looks incredible. No idea why I haven’t tried this before. Will certainly be giving it a go. Thanks for taking the time as always

[@SlippyLimpets]

No worries and hope you enjoy when you do give it a go!

Glad you enjoy it mate! 👍🎣

[@ianlaccohee7180]

Another great video. I never take any food when I go fishing these days. I take a camping stove & fry up what I'm able to eat. Nothing like fish when its that fresh. Way more satisfying too. keep up the great work mate.

[@welovetofish5669]

Great vid mate, we did pretty much the same to catch our women only you did posh with the salmon, mine got dog fish ( rock salmon, lol but it still worked , ) she out fishes me at times, the kayak fishing 👍👍👍tight line's mate

[@davidkeall6364]

Another brilliant video and keeping 1 fish in 4 year is some good going, well done you. Each trip i do whether its for 1 night or 3 nights i keep a Pollock (only if over 4lb) and make a Pollock hash which is amazing especially when loads of black pepper added.

[@SlippyLimpets]

I've only kept one Pollack i've caught and didn't really enjoy it that much, so haven't kept another. Pollack has sounds good though so might give it another go when this winter.

[@thewoodscamps2021]

Nice to see you enjoying the fruits of your labours mate!! And about time 😂 5 years?!?! If I came back from 5 fishing trips without something for supper bud, the missus would be giving me sooooo much grief 😭 . Keep up the good work and eat more of what you catch 😋 Saves buying it 👍 👍

[@SlippyLimpets]

I used to take mackerel home until the missus asked me to stop, she said she was going to turn into one!!It did taste good but think I'll stick to catch and release, unless I fancy treating myself

[@jamesaitken5921]

Nice to see you enjoying a catch at last. Looks like you waited a while to finally eat !! Loving all the films

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yeah it did take a while, it was a last minute decision to keep the fish so wasn't prepped at all and had to improvise a bit. Tight lines 👍 🎣

[@lesedwards936]

A great bit of improvisation on the cooking mate , and a nice way to spend an evening. Tight lines

[@SlippyLimpets]

Aye, it wasn't planned at all but it still tastes good 😋

[@EUAngler]

Oh man you cheted on making fire 🔥 😅 awesome video! The fish looks tasty !👌

[@SlippyLimpets]

Had to mate, no way of making any kindling and I was starving, so no messing around

[@amblenortheastfishermen2619]

Two words love it.well done mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks 👍

[@rnendzame]

Mate where did you come up with the name of your channel? I like it. Very nice.

[@SlippyLimpets]

It was just a random comment between me and my missus during a walk along rocks at low tide. Normally limpets offer a bit of grip on slippery rocks, but on this particular walk the limpets were covered in green weed. I said to the missus 'watch out for those slippy limpets' and that was it. The name of my blog and then youtube channel was coined. 👍🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Ha, just prepping mate. Those kadai look canny. I actually had a gas version (cadaq safari) in the boot at the time but really wanted to cook on the fire, so stuck with it. Thanks again and tight lines 👍🎣

What a zest for life - enjoying your LRF vids - next time use the thick metal cooking tray that came with the veggies! best from west cumbria!

[@christravis3270]

Great video mate and great commentary, really enjoyed it. Never done an open fire or BBQ with Bass. Other fish I catch, plenty of times, but not Bass. It’s my main target species and eating fish, but I just can’t bring myself to dispatch and cook them. Weird I know. I’m just glad I’ve been able to catch it and want to get it back in the water safe to catch another day. My mates think I’m weird, but I just can’t do it. It just feels a little too special to have a muppet like me eat it. Not being righteous or anything, I think it’s great that responsible fishermen and women are rewarded with such a great experience after catching one of these beauties and long may that continue. Tight lines

[@SlippyLimpets]

I know what you mean mate, I normally put all of my fish back not just bass so, I didn't include it in the video, I had to have a word with myself before dispatching it. Still, 1 kept bass in 4 years of bass fishing isn't too bad a ratio and probably made it more tasty. Thanks for watching and tight lines👍🎣

[@christravis3270]

Thanks for taking the time to reply buddy, keep making those videos. Ohh, loved the story about the salmon.

Funny you should mention the roasting tin, the same thing crossed my mind as soon as I'd put the foil parcel on the fire! Thanks for sticking with it and tight lines👍🎣

Awesome video, great to see someone as mad as myself going off grid and just getting away from society. Next time try adding some chorizo to your bass with Piri Piri rice. Unreal cooked over a flame.

[@fabulousfatphil2285]

Small axe and split one of those logs you have mate, into many sticks. It'll make fire building a lot safer than using your gas canister. 🤣

[@SlippyLimpets]

You're right mate, my hatchet would have made things alot easier but had to make do with what I had with me at the time

[@native-american9049]

bit of sea water for seasoning?

cracking idea, could have done with some seasoning and some lemon!

[@sabiut]

What kayak do you have? Is it heavy?

[@SlippyLimpets]

I use a Viking Profish 400 Lite, it's very lightweight fr a plastic sit on top. I you want light kayak than it tends you would have to look at getting a fibreglass kayak at nearly double the price. Hope this helps

Go in at the gill end then cut down to spine and follow it along easy fillet just saying

I don't normally keep fish so I defo more practice.

[@gw6797]

Great stuff again Nathan. You've done the full package now, catch, cook and eat. This link might help you in the future kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4ilpquNmsxmbpY. The vid on filleting Cod certainly helped me hone my skills as I used to do a canny impersonation as a Butcher! Cheers Graeme

[@8r4ham]

I have a tape measure from UKBASS.COM that gives fish length to weight. I'll list some info below. But man that looked a tasty campfire meal. cheers 44cm = 2lb 47.5cm=2.5lb 51cm=3lb 53cm=3.5lb 56cm=4lb 58cm=4.5lb 60cm=5lb 62cm=5.5lb Ive found the scale to be totally accurate with the fish I have caught in that range. I'll leave it there if you need bigger sizes get yourself a tape from their website.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks for the info. I've used measures like that before but, maybe it's the areas I fish, they tend to be well out. Just a few weeks ago I landed a fish at 58cm but weight 5.7lb. So, tend to ignore those measures now. Point taken about the weight I mentioned in the video though, I used the fish I mentioned above as a benchmark, but it was probably closer to 3 than 5! Tight Lines👍🎣

[@davidstorton910]

How strange is this, I didn't make a hobo parcel for about 6 years and I had a black Bream with veg cooked that exact same way (in the oven though)

[@chrisuk1000]

You need to learn how to fillet mate. Easier than that. Otherwise my mouths watering at your wild cooked fish dinner. More of this for sure

[@SlippyLimpets]

I know mate, one of the problems of being a catch and release angler I guess. I might start keeping one or two more just to get the practice in. Tight lines

[@chrisuk1000]

@@SlippyLimpets I’m catch and release too so don’t do it often these days, but if I was there I could show you he he, leave the head on to hold the fish for a start don’t need to remove it from the frame anyway,

I'll remember that for next time Thanks for the tip👍👍
