Largemouth bass are my favorite freshwater fish to eat! Big bluegills are second and crappie are 3rd. There's nothing wrong with taking out 1-2 pounders to eat. It actually helps the bass population to eat some here and there. Ponds and lakes get stunted when you catch and release every bass
@stephenmartinez1 Жыл бұрын
Amen to that! All the freshwater pan fish like bass, blue gill and crappie taste very similar. There’s so many lakes and freshwater fish in the US, that keeping a few here and there certainly doesn’t harm the population. Especially if you fish in some of the remote lakes. Growing up camping in northern Michigan, my family kept all the fish we caught because a communal fish fry is just part of the camping experience.

"Only 1 bait" for year round bass fishing? Hhhmm, that's a tough one. I believe I would have to pick the ole tried & true plastic worm, because you can fish it SO many different ways year round. Fish it fast weightless & twitch it like a soft jerk bait on the surface, add a little weight & fish it the same way just under the surface.........fish it like a slower swimming worm, or any number of ways on or near the bottom. You can even pitch & flip the shorter worms on a typical flipping rig with a pegged heavy weight. Find the type of retrieve & presentation the fish want. PLUS, IT'S TOTALLY WEEDLESS. I can't think of any other lure that you can fish so many different ways as the old plastic worm. So many sizes, styles, and colors to choose from as well. I love & use all lures as much as anybody.......I always keep 8 different lures rigged on 8 different reels & rods at all times........but forced to use only one year round? Yeah.......the plastic worm......definitely.

Cooking in cast iron is an art in itself. First, you have to season it properly and then you need to know how to bring the vessel up to temp and then know how to regulate that temp for the type of food you are cooking. I haven't seasoned my vessels in at least six months (and I use them a lot). Cook with the cast iron to your heart's content then let it cool down and when you are all done scrape any stickins off and then rinse with warm water and a Chore Boy or a Chain Mail scrubber for stubborn spots. Dry well and lightly oil if you live in a humid climate, otherwise just thoroughly dry and store until the next use.
