Week 7 : Largemouth Bass - Species #411/7/2021 Week 7 was another great week. I caught a bass this week. I went to a pond in Lexington. The pond is one of my dad’s patients. He usually talks about fishing and the things he does to his patients and then they let us come and fish at their ponds. This pond was the first time we have both gone to it. I was kind of worried if we were going to catch one or not. Catching bass is great during the morning and we came a little later than we should’ve but still scored on a fish. I started out with a Berkeley whopper plopper. This lure is for top water and makes some great sound. This lure is my go to when I try to catch bass. It didn’t work so I decided to switch lures. I went to a minnow lure with a spoon on it. I did this because I could see small minnows on the bank, so I knew what the bass ate. I thought that bait would be perfect so I switched to it and it worked. I caught the 2 pound bass right near the bank. I was super excited cause I was worried we weren’t going to catch one. Since I got the catch out of the way I had to clean it now. The cleaning process is like the bream and crappie I did on week 1 and week 3. I did the exact cleaning steps I did with crappie and bream with the bass, scale, cut head, gut, cut tail, then wash off. Now since I did the cleaning part I needed to cook it. This week I decided to bake it. I had to watch some videos on this to figure out how to do it. We baked it with some carrots and potatoes for 20 minutes. It was actually my favorite. It was super good and I would definitely eat it again. For the videoing process there is not much to say. It was just like the others. I talked a little bit more and we got some more clips of me casting. I sadly didn’t get the part of me actually catching the fish. We had a lot of doubts and we were about to leave so my dad was fishing too and not filming. I explained that in the video but all around we did a great job with filming. Now I have to edit the video in week 8. I think this one will be similar to the other ones. My editing has gotten better and much faster. That’s it for week 7 now I am onto week 8!
