Catch Clean and Cook Bass. 

Everyone wants to know why we kept the larger fish. Well, it got hooked in that bad spot behind the tongue and bled out. I rather eat him than leave it out there for the gators.

I don't understand why more people don't eat bass. They're a meaty fish and they cook up great.

My grandfather had a filet knife similar to yours, and he loved it. It was the first knife I ever used to filet my first fish when I was about 7 or 8. Your video has brought back many memories. RIP granddad!

I scaled and gutted a bass and grilled it over coals and it was the best tasting fish ever. I was rather drunk at the time though.

This made me cry. I can't believe I witnessed something so beautiful!

Came to see how to filet a bass and I subscribed with how impressed I was with his clean. That and when he said "before everything was made in an China". Thanks for sharing and I'm happy I found this channel.

This dish looks amazing! Ill have to try it myself thanks for the presentation!

Made a big batch tonight and it's great. My wife makes some great shrimp and grits and the recipe is practically identical. Never thought to do it with fish, but I'm glad to have another way to fix bass now.

This is a real channel..and a video that i enjoyed watching...fishing the bass how to fillet it also how to cook ..all the ingredients made it look like a million dollar plate..thanks for sharing this with us.

I thank you very much for the recipe, it looks quite delicious!

Love me some bass! Been eating my whole life. People say it's only a sport fish until they try it...

Good Lawd!!!! Thats looking good! I love shrimp-N-grits...this is a great alternative!

Respect, Sir: There were a lot of things on that plate I do not normally care for, but watching you make it, if I had ordered it in a fancy $100 a plate restaurant, I'm sure I would have eaten every morsel and licked the porcelain clean when no one was looking. You are a legend to the men of cast iron.

Mr Backwoods I've never laughed so hard as when you walked out with that shotgun.. I thought people were beating down your door to get to all that fried okra. looks great. keep up the good work love your videos. Matt from Tampa checking in. .

This is so damn southern, that’s how I know it’s gonna be good. Don’t think I’m being sarcastic. Black or white, southerners just know how to cook like nobody’s business. No white jokes about not putting seasoning when it comes to southern people.

I swear I'm moving south when I retire... Best bass fishing ever!!!

That looks like an awesome meal my friend, thanks for sharing!

Great video and wonderful recipe and craftsmanship thank you

My mouth is watering watching the final product.

Nice job, it looks delicious. I'll definitely give it a try.

Hi Backwoods Gourmet: I just want to share that I really enjoy watching your video's and cooking recipes. Thank you so much for doing what you do for the enjoyment of your viewers. This dish is simple but just looked so good. It reminds me of my 103 year old grandmother (still has all her mental acuities-sharp as a tack). For 40 years she lived with my Grandpop in South Carolina and they had a huge veggie garden out back of their house on several acres of land. She used to grow okra and many other veggies and just made the most delicious homemade veggie soup I have ever tasted. Grandpop turned me on to having grits for breakfast with a little butter and honey and also as a side dish for dinner with a hint of cheese. The scallions are a terrific addition to your grits. Yummy!!!

Man that looks so good. I went fishing and caught quite a few. Some bass, catfish and crappie. Will be cooking them today, this video made me hungry

MY GOODNESS!!! :YOU CAN DEFINITELY COOK!!! I WILL HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO PREPARE THIS DISH!!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR SHARING!!! DELICIOUSNESS!!!

Outstanding video and I will try that dish for sure, thanks.

That is one cool cooking setup. Never seen that before

When you're a RU-vidr, but also preparing for war with the State Troopers.

Love your video's thanks for sharing!

I love the dish I love the interuption and the benelli. My sort of BBQ

That looks so yummy awesome cooking. Thx for sharing

LOL! That's a dish, alrigh! I love you! When the shotgun came out I was like "yup, that's something I'd do!". I live in MN but I LOVE you Southerners!

You have mad fileting skills. Thanks for the recipes and ideas, will definitely be trying some soon.

I beat an egg and pour it in the okra before I add the cornmeal. it helps it stick to all the sides as well.

when I was little my uncle would only fish for cat,bluegill or crappie.when a bass hit,he would say we would get in trouble if we kept it.but now he is dead and gone ,so i guess its ok to eat em now. he was a great uncle,miss that clown.

This looks delicious can’t wait to try it.

Great presentation. Thanks for all the great recipes. I enjoy watching your channel. Being that you like spices; give McCormick Pinch of Cajun a try. I like it on fish, chicken, crab and potatoes. Keep on fishin'

great recipe for a full dinner. Thx. Steve, Plymouth, MA

Thank you very much for that recipe I love fish Stu gumbo fried fish baked fish and your fish and grits is an amazing idea better yet I love your self defense awareness

that was a great video I haven't had bass b4 but now I want some

Nice combination and technique!

This dish was amazing.

Your making me so hungry ! When can i watch you cook in person ? Lol thanks for the clips

Nice entertaining vid, might have to do a catch and cook soon

Dang. That looks really good!!!!!!

Great video as always!! What is the song in the background around 16:30 in?

Looks amazing!!

That is a mighty fine boonie/Safari/Bush hat you got there Mr. Backwoods Gourmet Sir!

Start every cooking vid with this " hello this is ur chief Backwoods Gourmet n check wat we're cooking

Awesome video. As a new angler, your video was super informative on how to fillet a catch and I love the cooking piece of the video. Looked like an amazing dish. Hopefully I’ll catch a decent size fish on my next camping trip with the wife. Would love to cook one up like that and impress the lady of the house. Lol.

People who don't eat Largies out of "sportsmanship" perplex me about as much as hunters who don't shoot doe. We've got tons of both around here: get some good sporting action, return balance to the ecosystem, and get a fresh meal all at once.

Good Job. Love the video. Could you do a video dedicated to gutting a fish?

Definitely gonna try this one out soon!

Never thought about Bass and grits, My favorite is Catfish and cheesegrits. Great Idea thanks!

Man awesome garden. and awesome cooking.

Dude you are killing me! That looks delicious!

Perfect video!

What is that plate you have in your grill to set your charcoal and dutch ovens? Something custom? I am looking for something that I could put either in the grill or on the ground to keep clean up easy.

I just recently found your channel and I was wondering... What kind of oil do you usually use? Or is it different depending on what you are frying?

I just caught my first bass today. A largemouth and my dad and I are going to cook him later today.

I just clicked on the channel cause I like bass and this looks sooo good all of it I will try this thnkz

*Great presentation of the meal 👍👍*

Just ran across your channel , very well done . I am subscriber now , keep em coming. That dish looked great , and buy the sound of it tasted great . Definitely trying this out.

I just prepared some bass the same way I do red fish for the first time on the half shell so basically fillet it off of the bone but leave the skin on one side slather with olive oil and season how u like the put meat side down for about 4 mins on the BBQ grill then meat side up for 2 minutes to release it from skin these time may very from fish size and fillet thickness it turned out amazing have been doing redfish for years like this and said why not try bass

i really like the looks of this dish

Do you have any videos about how to properly gut and clean a fish in a step by step walkthrough?

hey we are in n/w PA and we have bass! would that Seminole swamp seasoning be good on them? I always end-up using smallmouth bass for turtle bait cause they are full of worms!??

Trout is a good stocked eating fish all fish can always grow larger catch and release for me more often than not but yes God put them here for us to eat nice video

I'm a bass fisherman and enjoy deep fried bass and blackened bass grilled in a Lodge cast iron grill pan. I live in the Kentucky Lake and Barkley Lake area.

Bass tastes amazing!! nice video !! I like your eat what you kill mentality keep it up!

I cant say I haven't kept and eaten large mouth bass, but I prefer to catch and release 99% of the time. Crappie is my favorite freshwater fish to eat though. Looks tasty!

That looks awesome !!!!

6:20 I found when you fry any veggies (especially tomatoes or eggplants) if you slice and salt them and leave them out salted for a half hour or 20 minutes they release a lot of moisture and take on flour more. I'll try it with okra but just paused to drop a comment.

you outdid yourself there buddy looks delicious

I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. I can't wait to try this recipe. As your newest subscriber, I was wondering if there's away to find a written version of this recipe.

Great recipe

That looks great!

You had me at fried okra. Fantastic looking meal! Simple....and simple is good! I'll try that very soon...

I would love to hear what Gordon Ramsey says about this dish. :-D

Looks delicious good job man

There are small glands on the sides of the fish that need to be removed if you are not a fan of fresh water fish. A friend showed me how to do it...after that my wife loves fresh bass!! She never ate fresh water fish before that because of the taste. I live on the shore line of lake Ontario..but lake Erie is only about 40 min away, and they have some of the best small mouth fishing I have ever seen. At the end of Ontario here where the St. Lawrence water way is there are some monster large mouth. No like fla of course, but still good eating fish!

I've always catch and release but I might have to try this

Looks great!

Omg it looks so good!! I wanna eat it!!

Excellent dish. Great video

I love your recipe and all. I will check it out. Being in South Florida, and I'm Cuban...…… I'll cook the fish similar, but I'll throw in some maduros in the dish and cook some rice and black beans to replace the grits. Thank you :)

Started a binge watching session. Good work, Sub'd.

This guy killed it on the presentation yum

Awesome video glad I ran across it. Keep it up boss

been bass fishin all my life, and I see you skinned 'em, a must for good flavor !

Man that looks awesome..Mouth watering even....

Any tips for lid maintenance and to keep them from rusting?

Nice thanks for sharing

This is so amazing! The journey of your food from the start point to the end :) Amazing video :)

2 tips. 1. Don't leave your shotgun by a screened in area. Perpetrators can easily get to it before you. 2. If you cut the onion instead of pulling it out with the roots, it'll grow back, giving you a lot more use.

what's the instrumental playing in the back

Stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready love it. Nice dish.

what do you about the parasites in the bass meat, our season opens late here in Ottawa Canada and the bass is full of worms and parasites.

you've got a really good channel. thanks.

Love your collection of cast iron posts apart from the great fish dish yum herbs from the garden is a huge bonus ! like no 17

Awsome videos!

What type of bait or artificial bait is good to catch bass
