Biggest I have caught is 7lbs and that is huge for around here Yea man..it was a tank. Actually the biggest one I pulled out of this pond. It was my 2nd cast trying out a technique called "Shakey head" My scale said he was about 4lbs...but I think my scale is a little rusted. Im gonna have to check the calibration on it. I couldnt imagine grabbing a 7lbs large mouth...Id {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted April 30, 2012 Members Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nice of you to say. I tell you what, im dying to get down there to do some bassin. Ive seen the video'sI don't eat them. Salmon or trout is a different story. Besides...put him back and let him get bigger Good man! Unless you're hungry of course.The smaller ones are half decent to eat but not the best. Bass is for sport. I prefer crappie. Them Yankee cold water Walleyes are the very best eatin.A bass over 2lb or so is tricky to cook. Best way if you must is gut and grill em whole, stuff the insides with butter, garlic, seasonings of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine eating right there! When my Dad was alive, we would do a fly in Western Ontario for a week every 2 yrs. North of Souix Lookout Ontario. Walleye practically jump in the boat! Yum Yum! Bald eagles, moose, no electricity or phones. Best trips ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no fun, but damn, there's pretty much nothing I'd rather eat than just-caught fish! I really need to do another one of those charter fishing trips to the Chandeleur Islands off the coast of Louisiana, where we SLAUGHTERED redfish, brought them back to the boat and had the guy basically clean them alive for us and blacken them to perfection the second he's done cleaning them. BAST. EVAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
