Hugh Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Don’t judge. We’re normally catch and release but the young fella wanted to try bass sashimi and in the pan. This one was just legal We decided we didn’t like it very much. Anyway, the catch was great fun. Top water grab in the shallows. Great fun.

dirvin21 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 No judgement, you certainly haven't broken any laws, I've eaten bass in years long past Bass are funny they can taste great or really terrible depending on the water they've come from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoods Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Top water Bass And a cooking segment - Things he will never forget. Only judgement is the culinary skills!! Lets hope for a big Cicada season so he can really test his top water skills!! (Is that a single Malt in the background?? Nice touch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hugh, I’m told that when Bass are in the saltwater they taste much better - not sure if it’s true (never eaten a freshwater fish except Redfin and they were “OK”). Good to try the species you’re targeting - at least you know now and young bloke has an opinion. Nothing better than spending time with your son (or dad) - days you never forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only bass I ever have eaten came out of saltwater (Cowan Ck). I remember it being quite ok, so maybe there is something to the saltwater theory.

bessell1955 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 In my younger days I would catch Bass in the Hawkesbury, just for eating. They were a very white flesh and tasted a bit like Bream. It has been many decades since I have eaten one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
