Not even going to read the comments because I’m guessing people are butthurt about him cooking a largemouth. Fact of the matter is that it’s legal and no different than eating a crappie or any other fish.

Guys seriously, people say bass don’t taste good but if you cooked it the same exact way and lied and told them it was flounder, they would have thought it was delicious..

I disagree with the comparison. Bass is an awesome fish, I have always loved it. I've only had flounder once, and it was an experience I never want to repeat.

I can tell large mouth bass by their smell and taste from anything else in this world. It's very unique. It's not that delicious.

[@trevorbosanic2756]

Try cold water small mouth I hate large mouth compared to cold water fish I caught a largemouth when I was younger and was excited to eat it and I tried it and gagged of the taste 🤢🤮

[@jacobmccandles1767]

The Bass taste secret: some shallow/weedy/warm water bass can be stout. Deep/cold water bass are as good as walleye. The trick is this: for all white flesh fish, dissolve 2 heaping tablespoons of salt, and one of baking soda, in a gallon of cold water. Rinse the fillets well in cold water, then leave them in this solution for 24-48 hours. Tbey will be firm, mild, and delicious. This will work in any white fleshed fish, but not on trout or salmon, which will just get mushy...er.

[@DvjLuna]

I had largemouth bass in the past and it is ABSOLUTELY delicious. One of the best tasting fish out there.

Most people that have ponds with bass eat the small ones to keep them from overpopulating the pond. They taste excellent. Once they get big (4-5 lbs) they don't taste as good, and you wanna keep them in your pond for fun anyways.

[@mattsloan32]

Largemouth imho is a decent fish for the table as long as it is close to the limit size. As they get larger/older just let them go for the next angler to catch. Apex predators in many American lakes build up toxins as they age. I think spots actually taste better, maybe because they are usually legal to harvest at a smaller size. Love the video man!

[@EastTexasCouple]

Tasted bass for the first time after being one of those people who were like “no release the largemouths” let me tell you...I was brainwashed! It is truly one of the better fish I have ever eaten! Mixed my with salt, pepper, panko break crumb mix, and milk and then fried!

The lake I fish most has an overpopulation of small bass, so we've been taking out a lot over the past few years. We don't keep anything over 15", but the small ones taste pretty good. We also eat a lot of crappie, and they taste very similar.

I usually deep fry mine after a shake in in self rising flour, kinda like what you did with the bread crumbs, no eggs though, seasoned with Tony Chachere's creole and black pepper, with a bit more garlic powder. Or if I'm wanting a lighter flavor, just salt, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. What other ways do you guys cook fish? Love to exchange some tips and tricks for cooking up these bad boys.

[@cbsctomh]

My kids (now in their 20's) and I fish a 40 acre lake (30 ft. deep) in northern WI with lg. and small mouth bass. No motors in the lake and you can see 15 ft. down. The lake is land locked and I have not bought a license in about 20 years. It is a spring fed lake and very clean. We can usually catch 7 or 8 keeper fish in an hour. I use the same recipe and the fish taste awesome. The lake used to have big gills, sun fish and the occasional crappie. Now we only see bass and they seem to be smaller than back in the 80's. The lake needs to be fished more to allow the bass to grow. Back in the early 60's, walleye were introduced but they slowly went away. I think most people that wouldn't consider eating bass have only tasted bass from an over boated, oily water lake contaminated by pollution. Clean bass cooked properly are very good!

I bass fish all the time and usually release everything I catch but there are times I go out with dinner on my mind. I only keep the fish if I'm going to eat it right away. Sometimes I feel bad and let the fish go before I leave. Not because I think killing fish for food is wrong, but they're such a fun fish to catch that I just feel like letting them live.

[@jacobmccandles1767]

With the exception of Tarpon, the very essence of being a "game" fish is in it's suitability as table fare. A great example is the Walleye: often tight lipped, and certainly not revered for its aggressive behavior or it's fighting prowess, it is considered a game fish none the less.

The thing about largemouth bass is if the water is slack and warm like small lakes in July and August they can taste kind of muddy especially if they are over 2 or 3 pounds spring bass are very tasty however. Of coarse this pretty much goes for all fresh water fish with the possible exception of bluegills , not sure why ,but bluegills seem to taste good regardless of water temperature.
