Keeping some fish to eat
 

My neighbor is retired...totally retired :). He is also an avid
fisherman! Yesterday I was working in the back yard and he was on his
patio cooking something....deep frying some fresh fish he brought home!
We talked fishing for a few mnutes, then I went back to working. About
15 minutes later his wife brought me over a plate....deep fried fish,
coleslaw, beans, and hot buttered cornbread, I thought I had died and
gone to heaven :)! I usually leave the fish I catch at the lake, but
next time out, I think I will bring a few of the critters home with me
grin!

Nothing wrong with that... but was it bass that he caught? I don't really
know of anyone that eats bass and I don't know if it's the best eating.
Perhaps they were crappie that he caught... and now we all know what part of
the country I'm in :).

Personally, I just eat sal****er fish. Now that's some good eats.

Bass filets are excellent - hard to beat as far as I am concerned.

I agree whole heartedly Mark, just been awhile since I had some fresh
fish :). I use to supply the neighborhood with fresh fish when I lived
in Pensacola...went Gulf fishing almost everyday I was off work, Red
fish (channel bass), red snapper, and my all time favorite pompino (sp)
:).

"Hard to beat"? I can name two dozen better fish to eat and about half of them
are freshwater. Crappie, one of my favorite, was already mentioned. How do you
rate walleye, perch, catfish, etc?

I use to believe that until someone convinced me I was cleaning them wrong.
I no longer scale them. I fillet them with an electric knife and cut the
skin off. What a difference! Now if those bass are over 14" and under 4 lbs,
they get et! Don't get me wrong, Crappie are still hard to beat.

Very Cool John! While I practice catch & release, I appreciate those that
catch and keep the 14" to 18" bass. The bass population needs to be thinned
out too. Otherwise the bass in that body of water will continue to get
smaller and smaller as the population grows. So by taking your legal limit.
you are actually helping the small bass to survive better (because of less
competition) and allowing the bigger bass to get bigger.

I know of some who keep the fish and give them to Orientals. I also know of a
gal who asks anglers for fish. I know a guy who keeps fish and doesn't even
take out a fishing license.
I like fish but would prefer not to have them deep fried. I think i would
rather eat freshly caught fish rather than canned salmon.
