I don't know why everyone is so against eating bass. I mean my family loves fish. But anything over the size of 18 inches we won't keep so there's a 4 inch range in which we'll keep. And anything over 27 is wall mount.
keeping small fryer sized bass is no issue, but if you catch a lunker, its best to practice CPR(catch photo release) this allows that fish to pass on its genetics to atleast one more fry hatch, hopefully several.
People get so butt hurt when you don't catch and release bass... If it's legal for that person to keep the fish and eat it you might as well just get over it.
Growing up I’d never heard of “catch and release”. The whole purpose of fishing and hunting was to eat what we got. I’d understand if the populations were dwindling. But I’ve fished ponds that are catch and release only and all the bass are stunted.
"How to Clean a Bass". Near the beginning of the video he basically says, I've already did all the cleaning, so, here's how you cut the fillets. Well... we need to know the other stuff, too.
:D lmao. Yeah crappie is absolutely amazing. But yeah last Sunday I cooked up a large mouth and I guess I was surprised because a lot of people say they don't taste very well. I just used a non-stick skillet with olive oil and on low heat. Just used salt & pepper, cooked it up and topped it off with a little bit of melted butter. But when it comes to crappie, white bass, yellow bass, striped bass or catfish, we just usually fry em' up.
I like this method, you get more meat off of the bones than other methods I've seen. What do you use to keep your filet knife sharp? Just practice with a good stone, or do you have a knife sharpener of some sort?
here in california largemouth bass are delicious, i wish captains video showed any tricks for scaling them, its frustrating scaling the big ones, and yes the bones are strong
I guess only hardcore bass fisherman don't like eating bass from the comments. All other people enjoy it with their fish intake. Not always first on the list, but eating it with your other meal of fish don't hurt. They're such in abundance. Why do people always rage so hard in the comments... Murica.
You know the answer that..cuz they're stupid city folk! The kind that waste food then complain they're hungry. They need to learn to hunt & fish. Appreciate food.
Nice video bud, I will keep a few bass this year for sure...especially once my daughter gets her first good sized bass. But we will release all the rest. They have pretty high toxin levels around here to be eating all the time but every now and again is not bad...I do agree to keep the smaller ones over the "lunkers". I mean hell I wanna be able to keep catching the big exiting fish more than once.
Sir, Where can you purchase those lovely knives you use in your videos as they are hard to find in Canada. lots of love and thanks, your videos are great. Arone Eldan
by getting rid of a few bass in a lake. you provide more food for other bass to get bigger. its recommended to keep one everyone once in a while to promote larger bass
Roch if this is the hard way please post the best way, I am sure that everyone that looks at this web site would be very interested in seeing your way. That will help us understand where you are coming from
He needs a few 1 day boat trips in the ocean, he'll learn how to clean fish in a flash with the same results, less then 30sec... There are prob a few videos here on that topic... just say'n- But I agree it's a waist of time to scale the fish when he just threw the skin away...
12 inches for ca, and use the catch and release sparingly. i catch and release over 75% of my fish caught and about once a month i decide i would like a fresh trout or bass for dinner. i will take home 1 or 2. take the smaller ones leave the larger to spawn and produce more. a ca fishing license is over 42.00 now and you can bet i would like a meal every now and then for that price like if you agree
This should be titled, how to get 1 lb. of meat from a 2 lb. bass. I've seen fish cleaning stations where folks only take 1/4 lb. of back meat from a 2 lb. bass, so perhaps you're video will help. Personally, I get much more more enjoyment from the challenge of finding bass, the thrill of catching it, being thankful for the memory, and seeing it swim away so that someone else can experience the same. Either way, it would suck being a bass:)
No point in cutting through the bones, it will just make your knife dull, there isn't much meat on the ribs anyways, and you shouldn't eat belly fat or meat from any fish (thats where most chemicals are stored). Once I hit the rib cage I pierce through the skin and cut around and down till the last rib, cut back into the meat and continue filleting the tail.
many people are dum, nobody asks about your opinion if eating bass if bad or good to eat, all fish are sport fish and you can eat them, its not like if it is illegal to eat bass
I only eat lm bass under two pounds. Anything over has to soak in milk or cream or else it taste like oily carp. They do taste good though!!! Tight lines!!!
When I was in my teens and in my twenties, I was more liberal in catch and release. Now when I am oldER, I am more conservative about keeping every legal size and bag limit I can. The only thing left is just guts, bones, fins, and scales. I cook the whole thing and suck out the eye balls and all.
for every body he scales the fish because the knife goes through smoother ive not scaled the fish before and the knife jumped off a scale and cut the shit out of me cpt vince russo is an extreme angler and a very smart man when it comes to filleting fish he gives you every single detail you need he makes a great video all of you need to stop giving him hate he is a smart fisherman and the only fishes guts you don't wanna throw back is shark because if you are shark fishing or deep sea fish will avoid that scent because they all think there is something in the area to harm them you will not find a better way to get every single piece of meat off this or any fish thanks feel free to comment back because I will argue this out with any of you fuckers on here giving this man hate
I kept watch its so funny. I kinda like it old school fillet and throw fish in to water which its nature! I know the feeling. it remind me when I have done that everyday is like okay okay poof to get over with it.
You have to remove some bass from certain populations to keep the population healthy. Also LMB is an invasive species in some states, so killing them is necessary sometimes. A good, healthy fishery can take the culling of certain size bass.
a game fish is only a game fish if you are in some kind of fishing tournament, if you are fishing for food, go ahead and eat what you catch, my fshing license allows me to keep 6 large and/or small mouth bass and if I could ever get that many decent size, damn right i'll be keeping them... you can stick to eating sunfish and perch if you want.
Y'know, I love how I can't even read half the comments left by people who think they're smarter than Southerners. The bass didn't "do" anything. It's food. Just like the worm Mr. Russo put on his hook was food for the bass. Are you going to yell at the bass for going after a living meal as well? And you need to study California law, friend.
I would like to see the filets of you haters on here! I guarantee they would not produce the meat here on this video! Some say scaling them is safer and easier. I think this Vince did an excellent video of it! Thanks Vince
I love eatin bass. I only fish to eat what i catch or i feel its pointless to even fish in the first place. Besides bass are everywhere around here.. my last stringer i brought home 20. All 3lbs or better
the ONLY times that I have eaten bass was once when I very badly gut hooked a largemouth(cut bait fishing for gar) and It died within seconds of removing the hook and once when I was on a fishing/camping trip where I had to catch my own dinner, in which case I was still very selective on what I kept. I dont see why you would eat these on any ordinary occasion
Wow...what's the most fish you ever cleaned at once? 5? Can't think of anything filthier than those chickens you eat. Chickens smell, cows smell, bass not so bad.
@@hunterthibodeaux8032 not only that . In some venues bass are the fish on the top of the food chain. If everybody catch and release the big bass would eat up all the bream crappie and other species and eventually each other.
I normally don't keep big lmb for a simple reason. The lakes I fish need those genetics for big mouth bass to continue for future generations. Now back home there are ponds etc that I will keep them out of but where I currently live I mostly fish big tourneyment lakes. I'll keep a few smallies, bluegill, catfish, but LMB is a sports fish and Should be treated that way at tourneyment lakes. If you are fishing non tourneyment lakes them keep them all you want, they taste great.
I love the look on his face as he throws away the backbone, like "whoops, there goes my last f*ck"
Yep that's my motto with big fish, catch, fillet, and then release!
Best when released into CRISCO LAKE as we always say.Now the BIG fish over 5 lbs are all released where they are caught! {:>)
Yeah you're right that's mine too catch filet and release in a skillet of hot grease.
now were about to clean the fish, as you can see, ive already prerty much cleaned everything.
He did release parts of the fish back in the water tho
Lol
Underrated
Damn! At least he released parts of the bass.

@JimGrimNY would you post a vid of the quicker way you mentioned to filet debone LMB or another fish for that matter? Thanks in advance
I like how you threw the back bone out at 2:47. For some reason that made me laugh.
He's a idiot
I did the same thing. He just stared, smiled, and no look tossed it! I lold
+DonnieHoWaRd0889 Yea, he made it seem like he wasn't suppose to do that.
People get so butt hurt when you don't catch and release bass... If it's legal for that person to keep the fish and eat it you might as well just get over it.
right on brother. eat em!
Growing up I’d never heard of “catch and release”. The whole purpose of fishing and hunting was to eat what we got. I’d understand if the populations were dwindling. But I’ve fished ponds that are catch and release only and all the bass are stunted.
please tell me what type of knife are you using ?
"How to Clean a Bass". Near the beginning of the video he basically says, I've already did all the cleaning, so, here's how you cut the fillets. Well... we need to know the other stuff, too.
If don't know how to scale, gut, and be-head your catch, you're not the type to watch these videos.
question well I cutted it descaled it took fins off but did not know about skinny it its in freezer can I still skin it next day
I gotta love his attitude fillet and trim.. then throw bass back into lake for sunfish to enjoy small bit of meats.. Where can I buy those knife?
Love the way you chuck the "no eat" parts into the lake... That's how you feed other critters!
:D lmao. Yeah crappie is absolutely amazing. But yeah last Sunday I cooked up a large mouth and I guess I was surprised because a lot of people say they don't taste very well.

mmmm they sure are good. and because of you sport fishing guys there are a lot of big ones to fill my skillet with. so I owe you a large thank you.

The little fish in the lake must be very happy that he gave them free food
what kind of watch is that? :)
thank you! i was thinking the same thing! I feel like he's trying to sell me on like 4 different knives when i only need my fillet knife
Sir,
Where can you purchase those lovely knives you use in your videos as they are hard to find in Canada. lots of love and thanks, your videos are great. Arone Eldan
What about fisheries where there are too many? culling some bass in the middle range helps the whole system....
I got into a good one with a guy who was pissed because I didn't catch and release. Don't they know releasing is optional.
Fishing license is on 17 bux in Florida, and its freshwater heaven here... Weather is great and its Great fishin all year long ;-)
HAHA. I lived in SoCal for almost a decade and every spring I would keep a couple every trip that I went on. Grilled green is fantastic eats.

thanks for the info
Wow, that is a unique accent. I'm getting an Australian, Cajun, Texan, civilized country Mayor kinda vibe. lol
wouldn't we have to worry about choking on a bone maybe??? ofc i never did this with bass but i heard there good to eat though...
Cook that with all bones, enjoy and spit as needed!
why did he scall the fish?
He needs a few 1 day boat trips in the ocean, he'll learn how to clean fish in a flash with the same results, less then 30sec... There are prob a few videos here on that topic... just say'n- But I agree it's a waist of time to scale the fish when he just threw the skin away...
he scaled the fish so the knife does not jump off a scale and miss meat or cut you
So their weren't 1000 little scales jumping around sticking to everything and making their way into the food.
Jimbo Mitchell ummmm?
Tommy Tntlife
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Dexter1818 website has all kinds of fillet and boning knives! I like the V-Lo or Sani-Saf models.
I feel if you looooooove fishing, keep doing it... If you love eating fish, keep doing that too...
Bass are not bad tasting fish if you take the skin off.
12 inches for ca, and use the catch and release sparingly. i catch and release over 75% of my fish caught and about once a month i decide i would like a fresh trout or bass for dinner. i will take home 1 or 2. take the smaller ones leave the larger to spawn and produce more. a ca fishing license is over 42.00 now and you can bet i would like a meal every now and then for that price

Why is fish in water? To be a sport or to feed the hungry?
Because evolution dumbass
Thank you!
Very interesting
No point in cutting through the bones, it will just make your knife dull, there isn't much meat on the ribs anyways, and you shouldn't eat belly fat or meat from any fish (thats where most chemicals are stored). Once I hit the rib cage I pierce through the skin and cut around and down till the last rib, cut back into the meat and continue filleting the tail.
Bass are one of the easiest fish to filet. Just slide your knife against the rib cage. There's no need to cut through it.
Soooooo freaking glad I live and fish in Minnesota. Land of 10000 lakes and $20 fishing license.
its really good.
if the bones crunch you're doing it wrong....
I can't believe im watching this to give this dude an extra view. he just throw everything back into the lake.
18 inches? Damn where like Texas? Here in MN its 14 inches never heard of 18 inches for largemouth.
LMB tastes good with a little lemon, I've heard.
wow, thats insane. ca fishing license goes up every year to bro. next year itll prbly be 48 bucks or so
Are ya'll ready kids?
Ay ay Captain! Napoleon Dynamite caught you a delicious Bass. :-)
many people are dum, nobody asks about your opinion if eating bass if bad or good to eat, all fish are sport fish and you can eat them, its not like if it is illegal to eat bass

Thank you for the video. It has the wrong title though.
I gladly killed a few large mouth bass this past Sunday. Fried em' up and enjoyed them. I plan to kill more "game fish" next Sunday.

Nice
Why all the hate he is showing you how to get all the meat of the bones
If I spend money on bait to catch a bass I’m damn well gonna eat that bass
oic, thank you man...
You have to remove some bass from certain populations to keep the population healthy. Also LMB is an invasive species in some states, so killing them is necessary sometimes. A good, healthy fishery can take the culling of certain size bass.
Great video, hate to waste something that I killed, good way to use most of the meat
Yeah I don't fillet them neither, just gut and descale em. The cheek meat is the best when fried.
would have been nice to see it from start to the end..
a game fish is only a game fish if you are in some kind of fishing tournament, if you are fishing for food, go ahead and eat what you catch, my fshing license allows me to keep 6 large and/or small mouth bass and if I could ever get that many decent size, damn right i'll be keeping them... you can stick to eating sunfish and perch if you want.
some people say that fish is nasty but i love fish i dont know if it was because of how i was raised or what but i havent had fish i dont like
Thank you, thats what I say people say I waste the fish when I throw all remains in the lake, I am like ummm no..
Y'know, I love how I can't even read half the comments left by people who think they're smarter than Southerners.
The bass didn't "do" anything. It's food. Just like the worm Mr. Russo put on his hook was food for the bass. Are you going to yell at the bass for going after a living meal as well?
And you need to study California law, friend.
to me the skin makes the fish taste better. especially around the grills. thats wasted meat my friend.
I would like to see the filets of you haters on here! I guarantee they would not produce the meat here on this video! Some say scaling them is safer and easier. I think this Vince did an excellent video of it! Thanks Vince
its $17.00 bucks in indiana
I love eatin bass. I only fish to eat what i catch or i feel its pointless to even fish in the first place. Besides bass are everywhere around here.. my last stringer i brought home 20. All 3lbs or better
if you don't take some out of the lake at some point in time then all of them will stunt and deplete the lake of bait and eventually die
Lol people are mad about him throwing the scraps back in the water. Funny
Throwing fish leftovers back to the water is illegal in Minnesota.
Not to mention the ever increasing cost of the fishing license and other expenses involved.
Is it weird that largemouth bass are the only type of fish I kinda feel bad about keeping.
the ONLY times that I have eaten bass was once when I very badly gut hooked a largemouth(cut bait fishing for gar) and It died within seconds of removing the hook and once when I was on a fishing/camping trip where I had to catch my own dinner, in which case I was still very selective on what I kept. I dont see why you would eat these on any ordinary occasion
@Nick Massa
"How to clean..."
Fish already cleaned. lol
@ChopperRead
that's your own choice, don't try to make others do it.
no need to scale or remove head when filleting, why would you scale the fish when they are skinned?????????????
I think filleting is a waste of food. I cook my fish with the meat on the bones, after it's cooked the meat simply falls off the bone.
That's good eating right there.
Wow holy overkill bassman! I am thinking Capt V over thinks unwrapping chewing gum.
@01:50 you are free!
Not too big. Just around 2-3lbs. Caught around 25 or so but kept 14.
thank you for knowing just exactly what youre doing before posting a video. ive seen some bad attempts and bad techniques shown in videos on TH-cam
Wow...what's the most fish you ever cleaned at once? 5? Can't think of anything filthier than those chickens you eat. Chickens smell, cows smell, bass not so bad.
legal size in most places is between 12-18 inches... deffiently legal
Survivalists.
Homeless folks.
People who fish for a living.
Is bass even good eating? I think it should just be a good fishing fish.
GrantMC about as good as crappie
Really? Ill try it some day.
Yeah. There really good. And u can't just let em all go or places will become over stocked and the fish will decrease in size due to lack of food
Have you tried any.
@@hunterthibodeaux8032 not only that . In some venues bass are the fish on the top of the food chain. If everybody catch and release the big bass would eat up all the bream crappie and other species and eventually each other.
He retained maximum meat, though. Doing it the other way there is a fair amount of meat loss. BUT, it is easier :P
