  1. Chose to keep a largemouth I ended up killing on accident today upwards of 15” and this makes me feel confident in cleaning my first fish. Will probably update if I butcher this pretty simple process.

    Update, kind of botched the cleaning but still have some decent filets.

  2. I’ve been fishing since I was 5-6 years old late 80’s I just recently tried bass about 4-5 years ago. That’s a delicious damn fish to eat. I make it several ways tho. Sometimes I’ll fillet it other times I’ll either steak it out or fillet an leave the skin on or I’ll butterfly it whole. Once it’s fried up nicely that skin gives it a super nice crunch. I don’t typically keep bass unless they go belly up when I try to release them. Mostly keep bluegill, shell-cracker, crappie, bullhead catfish or channel catfish. But if there is an unlucky bass that happens to bite my line and I can’t revive him into the fryer he goes.

  3. Thank you for showing how easy it is to get that belly meat. Most people act like it's not worth the trouble. I mean, you killed it, so eat all you can. Great tutorial.

  4. I wish Douglas county would remove the size limit for bass on more lakes. We have so many small lakes that seem to be stunted with tons of 12"-13" bass that never seem to get any bigger but I cant keep them until they are over 14".

  5. Thank you for this video Caleb – I agree that a small/moderate size LM in cold water tastes just like a big bluegill. Other species are seriously over harvested, and bass are underutilized.

  6. Thank you for promoting eating largemouth! I eat them as well, nice big flakes like a cod. I have a no minimum lake near me and you're right those 10"-15" bass are delicious. Many lakes have become overpopulated in northern WI.
