Thought about stirring things up over there, but decided I'm too old for that s?*^... heheheh! Damn this recipe sounds good with bluegill or crappie, though!



Largemouth bass tacos

I have had both Bluegill and Crappie Tacos in the past and they are simply GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!



Going to have to give that recipe a try! Will add the Bluegill.

Recipe looks good need to give it a try with Crappie!




Side Note: Never had bass? I will stick with pan fish!

I've eaten bass a couple of times because it was served by friends. Doesn't hold a candle to panfish...

LOL.....
Fish tacos are great when made with crappie fish....

I love bass. I like making the guys with the $40,000 bass boat mad at the ramp too when I take out a nice 7 pounder to fillet.

Good Times.

IMHO, bassers need to get over the notion that is is wrong to eat bass. The state regulations adequately protect the fishery, whether it is the normal length limit or a slot limit, and bag limit. Some bass need to be taken out as a way to provide more food for a normal population. A lake over-populated with small bass results in an under-fed, stunted bass population. Now, keep a few bass and eat them. They are excellent eating fish. I agree, however, that crappie and bluegill, are better.

Although I'm 100% CPR with largemouth, I have no problem with anglers keeping a few for the skillet. I get a little antsy when I see trophies of any species killed, however, whether it be bass, cats, gills or stripers. Perfectly within the rights of the angler and completely legal, just doesn't work for me.

Good stuff! I have eaten a lot of bass and they are not bad. I have always let the bigger fish go!




Side Note: My favorite fish to eat are Crappie and White Bass!

I also haven't ever kept LM bass when I catch em, but am not opposed to doing so. If I'm fishing for dinner, I target crappie or catfish. But its been said above; removing some of the smaller bass just helps the lunkers survive, and they are the mamas that really get to business during the spawn, so I'd never keep any big gal that I catch...

I'll have to try the beer batter for some bass sometime, sounds pretty good. I usually let the black bass go, but I have no problem keeping one occasionally and think they taste pretty good fried. I understand the bass guys not wanting people to over harvest their hobby, but there's nothing wrong with taking a couple of average fish for dinner IMO. My home lake is Joe Pool and they encourage the harvest of the smaller bass with the slot limit so I'm lucky to be able to take home the occasional 12-13 inch eater.
