White bass

[Bluebasser86]

The limit here is either 50 or no limit on most lakes. I couldn't imagine wanting to clean 50 of any fish, let alone 50 of those things. Better buy band aids in bulk.

I learned to fillet 25 at a time in the dark. 

 

What will test your patience is a stringer of specs after fishing all night. 

 With super-refined scales and skin like velum, it's too easy to cut through their skin. 

Then you have to go back to the ribs and back-fillet.

My solution is easy, I don't eat any of the fish I catch ? 

 

That wouldn't be the case if I had access to saltwater fish like you though.

however you like fish

speckled trout fillets are the ultimate. 

 

However, white bass is the perfect freshwater meat fish, and they need to be harvested for the forage base of the freshwater fishery.

Mother Nature takes care of them every once in a while around here.  We go from abundance to near none.  For some reason they die off by the hundreds of thousands all over a lake.  No biologists have given a reason.  I doubt that they even have concerns since they generate very little revenue unlike black bass which is mega millions here.

The secret to perfect fish tacos is a thin stripe of Remoulade sauce. 

I saute the fillets in browning butter. 

Of course corn tortillas, or at least half-corn, pico de gallo, and a good southwestern cabbage blend.
