How to Fillet Fish: Largemouth Bass 

Best video I've seen, you actually explain what you are doing, and why, without assuming your viewers have been doing this for years. Good job on the video.

Great video! I like that you explain everything. I LOVE that you give the times on the video so we can go to exactly what we’re looking for.

Good video - you make it look too easy. It's harder to filet a smaller bass - but that's what makes this a good tutorial.

This was incredibly helpful, thank you very much. I'm getting a lot better at this already!

Added this video to my beginners fishing video playlist. You didn't destroy the the fish and it was very instructive. I myself enjoy bass and I use to descale and gut but this is much better. I guess you can use the remains as bait or soup. Thank you.

Best video I've seen on fileting bass. Great job man 👏

Best one on the you tube.

Excellent! Thank you

Wow. Really helpful. Thanks!

Nice job. I appreciate your help :)

Oh wow, thank you so much!

There are so many fishermen today are saying bass are poisonous and horrible eating fish are just plain stupid.

How did you catch so many bass, where i live i canonly manage to catch striper

That dam fly

Great video man.

Very nice. Thank you

thank you for the video!

Ive been trying for large mouth and bluegill

do you have to gut the fish first

That bass is like 10 inches take one bigger I would never keep a bass that small

Never seen one filleted quite like that, but whatever works. But you're wasting a lot of meat on the fish. Head meat, internal meat, and even the cut with the intramuscular bones. If you like fish patties, that cut is perfect. Put a few of those through a meat grinder, and those little bones turn into such fine pieces that you can't even tell they're in the meat. Many fish patties even have the rib bones left in, when the fish is small enough. Anyway, you threw away enough meat to make a very good fish broth, or the beginning of a pot of fish stew, or fish soup.

that skin taste really good. so sweet and tangy. why you cut it off

i thought you gut it first

Man, I have a way stricter size limit to my "keepers". Thats more work them food.

catch and release?

Damn bro are you broke ?? That won’t even feed my damn dog lol 😂

thats a small bass

Excuse please, but there is no such word as - as you pronounce it - fill-aa. The word is 'fillet' pronounced 'fill-it'. Like millions of others, you have been McDonald-ized. Back in the 1960's, McDonalds came out with the Fillet of Fish, a marketing gimmick to relate fish to 'fillet (fill-aa) mignon'. But that is the French name a cut of beef. In English, we use a fill-it-ing knife to 'fill-it a fish', and what you get is a fish 'fill-it'.

So many fish to eat. Can buy crappy cod at a grocery store that tastes way better and doesn't ruin the sport of bass fishing.

More so- why did you harvest freaking babies dude?! I know this is a 4 year old vid but wtf those are barley 8" long. If you want small fillets then catch sun fish and let the bass grow so you actually have dinner

God!! what are we Japanese? Don't eat bass.. Catch and release jaggoff
