You don't have to explain yourself to anyone brother. If you're within the fish and wildlife regulations then I say grill it up man. And to everyone who's hating on him let the fish and game wardens regulate the fisheries. That's what the regs are for. If they were threatened they would change the laws to protect them much like they did here in Florida with Red Snapper.
My grandfather had a filet knife similar to yours, and he loved it. It was the first knife I ever used to filet my first fish when I was about 7 or 8. Your video has brought back many memories. RIP granddad!
Someone told me they didn't know that they could and they thought it was tough to eat once. It might just be that they think they're not good eating fish.
i think it’s because they are caught for fun in local ponds(most times) where they are put there and people have trash and the public pond/lake looks dirty at times. but if it was wild i would totally go for it
I think a lot of it is because they are believing what they're told or read that only panfish or walleye are what is good to eat. Wrong! That or they're bad cooks and don't know how to properly clean and prepare bass. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are excellent fish to eat...they taste great baked, fried, grilled etc.
Came to see how to filet a bass and I subscribed with how impressed I was with his clean. That and when he said "before everything was made in an China". Thanks for sharing and I'm happy I found this channel.
I never could relate to catching any fish just for the sport. I love to eat fish. And I love to eat bass, and I've enjoy them since I was a kid. They're one of my favorite fish to eat. So I appreciate videos like this with tasty recipes. After all it's what people have done with fish for throughout our history of existence - eat them. For those who think that all of a sudden that bass now only exist for them to bury a sharp hook into, pull out of the water, gawk at, and release; or that it's sacrilege keep and eat, so be it, if that's what you like to do...more for me. Just don't criticize those who catch and eat.
Made a big batch tonight and it's great. My wife makes some great shrimp and grits and the recipe is practically identical. Never thought to do it with fish, but I'm glad to have another way to fix bass now.
Respect, Sir: There were a lot of things on that plate I do not normally care for, but watching you make it, if I had ordered it in a fancy $100 a plate restaurant, I'm sure I would have eaten every morsel and licked the porcelain clean when no one was looking. You are a legend to the men of cast iron.
Yes bass are very good and healthy to eat. And need to remember that largemouth & smallmouth are in the sunfish family not even a true bass . So delicious. I always take some home to eat and put a few back works out pretty well.
This is so damn southern, that’s how I know it’s gonna be good. Don’t think I’m being sarcastic. Black or white, southerners just know how to cook like nobody’s business. No white jokes about not putting seasoning when it comes to southern people.
Funny you would say that. Watching it I was thinking "I don't know where this guy is from but it is not from the South." No one would prepare the fish like that in the South. Not the woods part of the South anyway. Everything is way too "gourmet".
Too many ingredients for my liking. I'm a dude that is so cut and dry it makes me look stupid at times. If it was a 25 oz. Open range fed Ribeye, just maybe three ingredients is all you need on the best grill/ smoker your money can buy.
This is a real channel..and a video that i enjoyed watching...fishing the bass how to fillet it also how to cook ..all the ingredients made it look like a million dollar plate..thanks for sharing this with us.
when I was little my uncle would only fish for cat,bluegill or crappie.when a bass hit,he would say we would get in trouble if we kept it.but now he is dead and gone ,so i guess its ok to eat em now. he was a great uncle,miss that clown.
The Jiggin Bass Boy I say keep em as long as you aren’t on a body of water where bass are fished for sport. It’s no fun fishing in a tournament for a fish that no longer exists in that lake.
Mr Backwoods I've never laughed so hard as when you walked out with that shotgun.. I thought people were beating down your door to get to all that fried okra. looks great. keep up the good work love your videos. Matt from Tampa checking in. .
People who don't eat Largies out of "sportsmanship" perplex me about as much as hunters who don't shoot doe. We've got tons of both around here: get some good sporting action, return balance to the ecosystem, and get a fresh meal all at once.
Hi Backwoods Gourmet: I just want to share that I really enjoy watching your video's and cooking recipes. Thank you so much for doing what you do for the enjoyment of your viewers. This dish is simple but just looked so good. It reminds me of my 103 year old grandmother (still has all her mental acuities-sharp as a tack). For 40 years she lived with my Grandpop in South Carolina and they had a huge veggie garden out back of their house on several acres of land. She used to grow okra and many other veggies and just made the most delicious homemade veggie soup I have ever tasted. Grandpop turned me on to having grits for breakfast with a little butter and honey and also as a side dish for dinner with a hint of cheese. The scallions are a terrific addition to your grits. Yummy!!!
Sounds like I would have loved to eat a meal at your grandparents house. I had similar experiences with my grandparents and am trying to keep this kind of cooking alive in a McDonald's 21st century world. I do not want the old ways and dishes to be lost in a fast food culture. Thanks for watching and your's is the best comment I have had in quite a while. Hit that subscribe button and learn more of these old time recipes. If you have one that we have not done, send it to us.
I cant say I haven't kept and eaten large mouth bass, but I prefer to catch and release 99% of the time. Crappie is my favorite freshwater fish to eat though. Looks tasty!
I'm a bass fisherman and enjoy deep fried bass and blackened bass grilled in a Lodge cast iron grill pan. I live in the Kentucky Lake and Barkley Lake area.
Awesome video. As a new angler, your video was super informative on how to fillet a catch and I love the cooking piece of the video. Looked like an amazing dish. Hopefully I’ll catch a decent size fish on my next camping trip with the wife. Would love to cook one up like that and impress the lady of the house. Lol.
hey we are in n/w PA and we have bass! would that Seminole swamp seasoning be good on them? I always end-up using smallmouth bass for turtle bait cause they are full of worms!??
That happened to me once, I caught about 15 bluegill with the intention of eating them, only to find they were full of worms once I started cleaning them. They were trapped in a pool where the creek dried up on both ends. Needless to say I didn’t eat the fish and it was a horrible waste.
What is that plate you have in your grill to set your charcoal and dutch ovens? Something custom? I am looking for something that I could put either in the grill or on the ground to keep clean up easy.
This plate is custom. I made it from stainless steel and it is a prototype that I have been testing. You may see it more in future videos with a few modifications. Thanks for watching.
He would probably like it, gordon Ramsay knows good food when he sees it, this guy isnt trying to sell this up at some restaurant he's cooking a homestyle meal
I just prepared some bass the same way I do red fish for the first time on the half shell so basically fillet it off of the bone but leave the skin on one side slather with olive oil and season how u like the put meat side down for about 4 mins on the BBQ grill then meat side up for 2 minutes to release it from skin these time may very from fish size and fillet thickness it turned out amazing have been doing redfish for years like this and said why not try bass
Yeah, the damn "catch and release" has been taken way to far in my opinion. It's beyond ridiculous. Sometimes I see horrible comments when someone "dares" to speak up and tell the world that he or she does catches and cooks. It's almost as if that person committed a bloody murder or something. And some pro fishermen are even enabling that ridiculous C&R trend, sadly enough. There is absolutely nothing wrong with catching and cooking you a nice bass from time to time (or any tasty fish for that matter). Just know where you take them from and what you're taking (keep it within the legal size and limits). I don't advice getting them from ponds though, unless there are too many to keep the pond healthy. Catch them in big lakes, and you'll notice that there is a difference in taste, since there they'll have more of a diversity of food, as well as their prey being healthier. The bass will be nice and fat, and more vivid. Cheers from Belgium!
Nobody thinks there's anything wrong with keeping a fish. As long as you don't fish the pond or lake out. But most people take to many fish out without thinking of the outcome.
I used to keep every legal fish I caught regardless, now I only keep if I will eat that day, partly not wanting to deal with cleaning, partly conservation
Agreed. People here (France) get shocked when I tell them that I keep pikes or bass. I rarely release a big fish (unless it's a carp or an endangered species). Cheers
It's good to see you release the bass into a frying pan. Like a lot of things, the catch and release mantra went too far. Some lakes, it's better to release. Others it's better to keep a few. Every body of water has its own particulars. In many lakes, bass is a sustainable resource. Just know what the deal is in the water you are fishing.
Ray Scott has said many times. The biggest mistake he ever made was in pushing fisherman to practice catch and release. Everyone releases now and the competition for food is so great that more and more lakes are producing stunted fish.
If your deep frying canola is cheap and does not add any oily taste. But for panfry , bacon fat or lard is the best. I tried sunflower but its expensive and breaks down to fast. Can do peanut oil . Ive deep fried fish, pork , beef , and french fries in the same canola and not had any taste transfer.
2 tips. 1. Don't leave your shotgun by a screened in area. Perpetrators can easily get to it before you. 2. If you cut the onion instead of pulling it out with the roots, it'll grow back, giving you a lot more use.
6:20 I found when you fry any veggies (especially tomatoes or eggplants) if you slice and salt them and leave them out salted for a half hour or 20 minutes they release a lot of moisture and take on flour more. I'll try it with okra but just paused to drop a comment.
I love your recipe and all. I will check it out. Being in South Florida, and I'm Cuban...…… I'll cook the fish similar, but I'll throw in some maduros in the dish and cook some rice and black beans to replace the grits. Thank you :)
Great presentation. Thanks for all the great recipes. I enjoy watching your channel. Being that you like spices; give McCormick Pinch of Cajun a try. I like it on fish, chicken, crab and potatoes. Keep on fishin'
Looks great! As far as all of the comments on keeping larger fish, Your enjoyment from catching a "trophy" fish for a tournament does not supersede my choice to have that "trophy" fish I catch end up at my dinner table. The last place I thought I would read comments from people chastising another individuals personal choice that is both legal and moral is on an outdoor channel. Happy fishing!!
There are small glands on the sides of the fish that need to be removed if you are not a fan of fresh water fish. A friend showed me how to do it...after that my wife loves fresh bass!! She never ate fresh water fish before that because of the taste. I live on the shore line of lake Ontario..but lake Erie is only about 40 min away, and they have some of the best small mouth fishing I have ever seen. At the end of Ontario here where the St. Lawrence water way is there are some monster large mouth. No like fla of course, but still good eating fish!
Just ran across your channel , very well done . I am subscriber now , keep em coming. That dish looked great , and buy the sound of it tasted great . Definitely trying this out.
SUBSCRIBED! I really don't understand why there's so many people who have problems with fishermen keeping bass. If there's an overstock and regulations are being followed.....then what's the problem!!
Trout is a good stocked eating fish all fish can always grow larger catch and release for me more often than not but yes God put them here for us to eat nice video
I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. I can't wait to try this recipe. As your newest subscriber, I was wondering if there's away to find a written version of this recipe.
You had me at " Generic Lodge ". I love my #10 single notch Lodge. I have to say that sure was not what I was expecting. Sponsored by Cholesterol lowering drugs everywhere.! Nothing wrong with cooking with a shotgun, you never know where the next meal may come from. First time viewer looking forward to viewing videos from the past and future.
My does this sound great, but where I live we don't eat grits. You heard of Maryland crabcakes, well I make my own version and use that great big bass. When I get rushed I simply buy a box of Stove Top and plenty of bass, Taste is great and the grandkids eat it as well.
It’s fun to fish bass for game. Some fisherman don’t even like fish they just love the game. I know plenty of bass fisherman though that will eat bass. Me personally I won’t. But i love to eat catfish !
I'm a huge bass fishermen and I do release mine but I have eaten them and they are actually good. I have no problem with people keeping them but don't keep the big ones 3+lbs
I only kept the larger one because he was hooked in a bad spot behind the tongue and bled out. The 14-15 inches are best for eating. The big ones are not bad either.
Backwoods Gourmet Channel yeah totally understandable. Happens alot rather the fish be put to use them thrown back dead. Tight lines. Waiting for the gar catch and cook
Actually, the big ones are not the prime spawners. Why do you think that we implement slot limits? The very big and small ones are the best ones to harvest from a sustainability point of view, but the big ones are not the best tasting.
I would love to eat more bass but they commonly have round worm where I'm at in Florida. I don't know if it's all of Florida but about 2 in 3 I catch have it and usually worms don't veer me away from fish too much but this is one of the few parasites that can actually transfer from fish to humans.
Great dish and vid. I've always felt that bass tastes swampy (like the smell of the water it lives in) but I think you could use just about any meat in that dish to mask any off tastes and it would be awesome. Nice job
Nice. I've tried bass from east to west coast, and they've never tasted as clean as a crappie or cat to me.. Some people even say bluegills taste better than bass, but I've never tried'em.
Wow this looks great, I dont know how you dont weigh 300 lbs, always eating your cooking! lol what is the plate you have on the Weber to set the irons on? thanks for posting

Backwoods Gourmet Channel ok good I would have been mad I hunt but I just hate killing bass
Don't be mad either way. These fish are not threatened or rare around here. Just a good one.
It’s not good to keep big ones because people fish tournaments and need those big bass
You don't have to explain yourself to anyone brother. If you're within the fish and wildlife regulations then I say grill it up man. And to everyone who's hating on him let the fish and game wardens regulate the fisheries. That's what the regs are for.

Awesome man, I have bass fries all the time
My grandfather had a filet knife similar to yours, and he loved it. It was the first knife I ever used to filet my first fish when I was about 7 or 8. Your video has brought back many memories. RIP granddad!
I scaled and gutted a bass and grilled it over coals and it was the best tasting fish ever. I was rather drunk at the time though.
Robert Hanan.....I am toasting you and slamming a shot of whiskey! Fish on!
Did a big carp one cold nite like that. Was excellent. Had a little to drink too
@@user-hv6ov3pm3f You mean alcohol might have been involved?
I wouldn't say bass is the best. It is good, but crappie is better.
Alcohol may have been involved?
I don't understand why more people don't eat bass. They're a meaty fish and they cook up great.
cause they’re better to keep on catching. especially out of ponds it type retarded to take a 6lber out a pond smh leave them genes in there
Someone told me they didn't know that they could and they thought it was tough to eat once. It might just be that they think they're not good eating fish.
i think it’s because they are caught for fun in local ponds(most times) where they are put there and people have trash and the public pond/lake looks dirty at times. but if it was wild i would totally go for it
100 percent agreed with you. Bass is very nutrition brain food. Caught a 22 in her this morning
I think a lot of it is because they are believing what they're told or read that only panfish or walleye are what is good to eat. Wrong!

what do you about the parasites in the bass meat, our season opens late here in Ottawa Canada and the bass is full of worms and parasites.
I have never seen that in any freshwater fish here. Our inshore saltwater fish do get them.
when I was little my uncle would only fish for cat,bluegill or crappie.when a bass hit,he would say
we would get in trouble if we kept it.but now he is dead and gone ,so i guess its ok to eat em now.

Ben Maliepaard Thats true
This made me cry. I can't believe I witnessed something so beautiful!

I beat an egg and pour it in the okra before I add the cornmeal. it helps it stick to all the sides as well.

Wow my friend that looks soo delicious. Thanks for sharing
I just subbed to ur channel 👏🏻👌🏻from Denver Colorado
I just recently found your channel and I was wondering... What kind of oil do you usually use? Or is it different depending on what you are frying?
The best oil for frying is peanut oil, but it is expensive so use what you can afford.
If your deep frying canola is cheap and does not add any oily taste. But for panfry , bacon fat or lard is the best. I tried sunflower but its expensive and breaks down to fast. Can do peanut oil . Ive deep fried fish, pork , beef , and french fries in the same canola and not had any taste transfer.

That looks so yummy awesome cooking. Thx for sharing
Thanks for watching.
What's the lure u use
4 inch Zoom finesse worm carolina rigged. Thanks for watching.
Dude you are killing me! That looks delicious!
Looks great! As far as all of the comments on keeping larger fish, Your enjoyment from catching a "trophy" fish for a tournament does not supersede my choice to have that "trophy" fish I catch end up at my dinner table. The last place I thought I would read comments from people chastising another individuals personal choice that is both legal and moral is on an outdoor channel. Happy fishing!!
Thanks for watching. Al the chatter just helps the video get more exposure.
BTW, A 6 lb bass is NOT even a "trophy" here in Florida. Got hooked behind the tongue and bled out. Fresh water grouper!
I live in the caribbean and its difficult to get top quality coals to cook and grill
good samaritan make your own. Very easy
There are small glands on the sides of the fish that need to be removed if you are not a fan of fresh water fish. A friend showed me how to do it...after that my wife loves fresh bass!! She never ate fresh water fish before that because of the taste.
I live on the shore line of lake Ontario..but lake Erie is only about 40 min away, and they have some of the best small mouth fishing I have ever seen. At the end of Ontario here where the St. Lawrence water way is there are some monster large mouth. No like fla of course, but still good eating fish!
Great video and wonderful recipe and craftsmanship thank you
Just ran across your channel , very well done . I am subscriber now , keep em coming. That dish looked great , and buy the sound of it tasted great . Definitely trying this out.
Welcome and thanks for watching
Minus the grits that looks great. 👍👍😁😁
Stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready love it. Nice dish.
SUBSCRIBED! I really don't understand why there's so many people who have problems with fishermen keeping bass. If there's an overstock and regulations are being followed.....then what's the problem!!
Welcome and thanks for watching. Much more on our channel page.
Trout is a good stocked eating fish all fish can always grow larger catch and release for me more often than not but yes God put them here for us to eat nice video
Love your collection of cast iron posts apart from the great fish dish yum herbs from the garden is a huge bonus ! like no 17
Thanks for watching. Maybe we will show the entire collection of cast iron in the next video.
I just clicked on the channel cause I like bass and this looks sooo good all of it I will try this thnkz
I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. I can't wait to try this recipe. As your newest subscriber, I was wondering if there's away to find a written version of this recipe.
We do not have a written recipe, but this one is pretty simple to just write down while watching the video. Thanks for watching and subbing.
You had me at " Generic Lodge ". I love my #10 single notch Lodge. I have to say that sure was not what I was expecting. Sponsored by Cholesterol lowering drugs everywhere.! Nothing wrong with cooking with a shotgun, you never know where the next meal may come from. First time viewer looking forward to viewing videos from the past and future.
i really like the looks of this dish
What type of bait or artificial bait is good to catch bass
Soft plastics are the best.
Never thought about Bass and grits, My favorite is Catfish and cheesegrits. Great Idea thanks!
Send us your recipe for that. backwoodsgourmetchannel@gmail.com
My does this sound great, but where I live we don't eat grits. You heard of Maryland crabcakes, well I make my own version and use that great big bass. When I get rushed I simply buy a box of Stove Top and plenty of bass, Taste is great and the grandkids eat it as well.
man you know how to cook! I liked the video. new sub here.
I thank you very much for the recipe, it looks quite delicious!
Gonna remove the fish before adding the cream to make Gravey, like my fish crunchy
michael schneider me too
This look like some good ole southern cooking
about time somebody catchein an eatin bass, the hell with all the bass catchers who release, keep yea limit an eat well my friend
I agree. If you want to save the fish from harm, then don't catch them at all. Like releasing before you catch. DON'T BOTHER THEM AT ALL.
It’s fun to fish bass for game. Some fisherman don’t even like fish they just love the game. I know plenty of bass fisherman though that will eat bass. Me personally I won’t. But i love to eat catfish !
Travis Locklear hush child you don’t speak unless i tell you to fucking speak bitch.
zidg you’re a pylon. Shut your mouth, do nothing and do your job... bitch
LOL! That's a dish, alrigh! I love you! When the shotgun came out I was like "yup, that's something I'd do!". I live in MN but I LOVE you Southerners!
Good Job. Love the video. Could you do a video dedicated to gutting a fish?
Great job on getting that fish!
that was a great video I haven't had bass b4 but now I want some
Bass chunks look like marshmallows! Lol. This looks terrific!
Are bass good eating ?
Man awesome garden. and awesome cooking.
Thanks for watching
This looks delicious can’t wait to try it.
Looks delicious. I cook fish for my family, but not this well. Tfs
Looks good I have to say. Here in Mn. Walleye is king, bass is thrown back.
I'm a huge bass fishermen and I do release mine but I have eaten them and they are actually good. I have no problem with people keeping them but don't keep the big ones 3+lbs
I only kept the larger one because he was hooked in a bad spot behind the tongue and bled out. The 14-15 inches are best for eating. The big ones are not bad either.
Backwoods Gourmet Channel yeah totally understandable. Happens alot rather the fish be put to use them thrown back dead. Tight lines. Waiting for the gar catch and cook
Actually, the big ones are not the prime spawners. Why do you think that we implement slot limits? The very big and small ones are the best ones to harvest from a sustainability point of view, but the big ones are not the best tasting.
Nice job, it looks delicious. I'll definitely give it a try.
That looks like an awesome meal my friend, thanks for sharing!
I've always catch and release but I might have to try this
This guy killed it on the presentation yum
I would love to eat more bass but they commonly have round worm where I'm at in Florida. I don't know if it's all of Florida but about 2 in 3 I catch have it and usually worms don't veer me away from fish too much but this is one of the few parasites that can actually transfer from fish to humans.
Great dish and vid. I've always felt that bass tastes swampy (like the smell of the water it lives in) but I think you could use just about any meat in that dish to mask any off tastes and it would be awesome. Nice job
Our bass do not taste "swampy" This lake is 23K acres of water and very healthy.
Nice. I've tried bass from east to west coast, and they've never tasted as clean as a crappie or cat to me.. Some people even say bluegills taste better than bass, but I've never tried'em.
Lol. I'm not Asian, ha.
Some of these comments are something else haha fish on brother!
I prefer the spotted bass that we have here in Lewis Smith Lake. They are very mild, and almost sweet.
We don't have those down here but I have caught plenty back in my tournament tour days. Good fighters and they are always nice and clean.
Wow this looks great, I dont know how you dont weigh 300 lbs, always eating your cooking! lol what is the plate you have on the Weber to set the irons on? thanks for posting
This plate is a piece of stainless steel that I working on .
