I did this once. I bashed the fishes head on the ground to kill it then I cleaned it and threw the guts in the lake. Some seagulls ate it... I almost puked in my soup. (random details)
good filleting. you are the best bass filleting on youtube I have seen so far. others were doing it wrongly and wasting a lot of meat. this one guy on youtube even cut out the muscle meat part of a bass, what a waste and ridiculous, he only got 20% meat from that fish haha.
This is the best method, but I personally use a skinner just because it's quicker. When you're starving and have a whole cooler full of perch and crappie, quicker is better.
instead of cutting the meat and the skin off, you can leave them attached to the tail, flip it over, and then cut the meat off the skin. that way you will have the fish as leverage, instead of a little bitty hand hold.
great video bob. you can tell you really know what your doing. thanks for showing all the young fishermen and women out here how to do this correctly.
Great instructional video! I don't fish but I cook and found I needed to learn how to fillet the fish a friend gave us. I don't think you could have made the process any plainer. Thanks!
Thanks! very helpful!

you should never keep bass
valerio1194 2 years ago
we usually keep the fillets attached to the tail fin so that its easier to skin the meat.

You don't have to gut the fish first, there are no guts outside of the rib cage.

Can I use some part of the fish as bait for other fish? (New to fishing lol)
zackalon 2 years ago
In most states this is illegal, even if it where legal, the method probably wouldn't be as successful as standard bait.

what the hell? why bother even keeping a small bass like that? its all bone and skin...
x87pwn78x 2 years ago
We usually keep fish that size, you can get decent meat off of it. 5-7 of those is enough meat for 2 people.
