16 incher. Put up a damn good fight. I was gonna toss him back but he swallowed the hook so I figure it's a good time to filet my first bass and see how it tastes.

      @jruss @lainedillard I grilled it inside foil with loads of butter and Italian dressing. Tasted great. Even my 2 toddler boys loved it. I mostly catch and release ...more but my boys wanted to try one out!

      I know the law, it's just a shame that a 2.5-3# fish had to die when you could have just cut the line and given it a chance @telerush

      @joeyfishes What are you talking about? He's 16 inches. Texas minimum to keep is 14. Not like I filleted a baby. And fat chance of a fish living with a big bass ...more hook deep in throat.

      You could have just cut the line as soon as you saw he was gut hooked. No reason that fish should have died, especially a fish that size. What a shame

      Try a piece with just salt and cornmeal and standard of me is different based on the fish some I like skin on some skin off some but usually with bass I grill on ...more the half shell with skin an scales on

      @jruss corn meal sounds good.
    13. telerush 0
      Nice, I might try corn meal.
    14. Jeff Russell 0
      Yes no bone or skin. I usually corn meal with salt and pepper.

      @jruss I'm thinking breaded and dried with lemon juice.

      @lainedillard You mean a standard filet?
    17. telerush 0
      Any preference for bass? I might try breaded and fried with lemon juice.

      I agree with @jruss just get the skinn off of it

      I prefer bass over bream or crappie. And they don't taste like chicken. Lol. I mostly catch and release but will keep a couple to fry up every once and a while.
