I went out to Bardwell after work to stock up on some shad for Saturday's banking trip. Got skunked at my usual spot. So I moved to a little lake called Clark. Went to the boat ramp and got nothing as for shad. So I went to another spot where I catch perch pretty good castnetting. Someone is fishing that spot.  So I said screw it and went to a little bridge on the north side of this lake (30 second drive) First cast right under the bridge and got nothing. Moved down a little and thru right into a mess of hydrilla hoping to catch some big perch. Pulled up and had 4 nice gizzard shad. I got pretty fired up. Moved down a bit more same deal. I was like wow this little 800+/- acre lake has some nice shad. Then it happened. I moved down a bit more. Thru out the net in a mess of weeds. My rope was twitching. I figured I'd caught a big bass. Pulled up the net and had a big ole shad. I yelled booyah [censored]. I was pretty fired up for catching a big shad like this. At least I can say I now have a PB for something.

I put him and the other on salt and in the freezer. Is it ok to filet them after they are frozen and then thawed out?
