catch it, kill it, eat it ...#2

Nice lady...

It was getting late so I filleted her and stuck her in the fridge for the next nights dinner.


Well that was the plan. HUGE Storm came in 70-90 MPH winds, golf ball sized hail, massive trees down and power lines down all over the area. Thousands without power.
Story here


Just as I breaded the fillets, and turned the heat up on the oil....Power went out (for 13 hours). CRAP !


Once the rain stopped, I broke out the kettle, dipped the chunks in the oil and threw them onto the hot grate.



Came out real nice! Bass is sooo tasty!

MMMMMMMM Small Mouth.

 

[ScottyDaQ]

Smallies up here are more brown and have defined stipes.

This one be a Laaaaaarge. I knew I should have shut the mouth so you could see the lip plate extend past the eye.
About average size. Caught her in a weed bed about 30 feet away from a dock.
