mjk86 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Table rock is loaded with big gills. Love me some bluegill catching and eating! I leave the skin on bluegill fillets after scaling em. One fillet gets the tail. The tail fries up like a wonderful little chip. I think bluegill eats as good as walleye or crappie just gotta find big ones worth cleaning. Champ188 1

Flysmallie Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Geez how many times we gonna beat this dead bass....errrr...horse. Last time I stood up for those that choose to keep fish. And I would do it again if they weren't the ones starting childish bullshit. You know it's not popular so why come on here starting a bunch of crap. AGAIN. True ignorance, it's the new American way. What ever happened to live and let live. Did the government make that illegal too? jtram 1 Â Â
Flysmallie Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Am I the only one who chuckled a little when reading the latest edition of the Missouri Conservationist article about eating bass. I saw a post on FB the other day from Field and Stream about cooking bass on a cedar plank. Bet the foodies here would love that. Note: I do not have a link. It was on FB. If you want to see it go look it up. Â Â

*T* Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Well comments about the fish eaters by calling them "catch and kill" group, or "sawing the sides off of bass", or "too many fillet knives hurting the population", or "knifers" is also inflammatory and "in your face". Not any more or less appropriate for this site than "fish taco" comments. Haven't seen the C&R group called obsessive/compulsive extremists (yet). Hmmm......this is from MO. Dept. of Conservation "Keep or release? The tournament pros would tell you to release any largemouth you catch. But keeping largemouth, in accordance with regulations, also aids in keeping the fishery in that body of water healthy. A water body with a good balance of sport fishes (such as largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish) and baitfish will consistently produce good numbers and sizes of each. Be sure to check the regulations each time you take a fishing trip, and feel free to bring home your limit of largemouth. Some people (maybe the same ones who release all they catch) believe largemouth are not tasty. This view, in my experience, is not the case. Largemouth bass fillets are a flaky, white meat similar to walleye, and their flavor is richer than other sunfish like crappie and bluegill. If you enjoy eating these types of fish, you will find largemouth bass appealing. Largemouth bass can be prepared in the same ways as most other lean, white-fleshed fish. My preferred method is to roll the fillets in a mixture of cornmeal, flour, and spices to taste, then deep fry in oil or shortening at 350 to 400 F. This is a great way to enjoy largemouth bass. Keeping the oil closer to 400 F is best, due to the thickness of most fillets. If the temperature drops much below 350 F, the meat will absorb more of the oil and become soggy. Next time you get a craving for fish, catch some largemouth bass and try them for dinner. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how great it is!"

ness Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Sorry if this is off topic, but I just had to share this somewhere and this seemed as good as anyplace. I always considered myself a Mary Ann guy -- Ginger just never did it for me. So, last night I'm watching Gilligan's Island on TV Land and somehow Mary Ann gets hypnotized and thinks she's Ginger -- she even starts wearing Ginger's clothes. Now I'm gonna have to rethink things! There's a third, even better choice! Oh, and then the Professor tries to hypnotize her back to Mary Ann, and Gilligan's watching and guess what?? He ends up thinking he's Mary Ann! Oh man, my gut still hurts from all the laughing. They sure don't make 'em like that anymore! Deadstream 1 John
