    It looks like there will be a new George Forman grill capable of handling large bass!

    These would make great christmas gifts.. I would even throw in a bass!

    I have one. It cooks all my Catfish perfectly. Even in the winter months, I can go out and jig for some pig 40lb+ Flatheads, take them home, steak them out and have a feast! There’s nothing better than a big’ol December flattie on my Foreman Grill….

    Well, be serious now, that big’ol bass you picked off the river floating dead and stuffed for a tree topper must come close?

    I may just take mine to the IDA get togeter next year at Everts and give out free bass samples!

    Since I will have to clean so many.. may as well make up some instructional pictures on * how to fillet a largemouth*.

    You should also make a special video presentation on how to net the floaters 4 at a time. They’re fresher that way when you fillet ’em.

    In all seriousness.

    What is wrong with grilling a 15lb cat? It is the perfect eating size! That is what pop taught me as a kid. The bigger ones taste like bass (opps, I mean crap), that is why you don’t grill the 18″ bass, you grill the 16″. Besides, the law states you have to return the 15″ and smaller bass right? Atleast that is what all the tourney guys do with their bass, so it must be law.

    But there is nothing tastier than a 15lb flatty on the grill with some garlic, onion, and butter!

    hmmmmmmm, hmmmm! GOOD EAT’N!!!!!!

    By the way

    has anyone ever tried to pickle catfish? Pops has been pickling pike and lg mouth forever and they do taste good. But with all the cats we catch, he always deep fried them, steaking out the bigger ones.

    I wonder if they would taste like pickled herring? The 15lb to 20lb flats that is.

    Nothing. Enjoy your mercury induced health problems.

    FROM THE MN DNR FISH ADVISORY:

    Smoked Mushy can be eaten twice per week, any size. More if you are lactating.

    Seriously Gary, a 15 pound flat would put it’s birthday around the late 80’s to mid 90’s…when the PCB’s were just being banned.

    Other than that, no reason not to eat them…as there isn’t any reason not to eat a 50 inch musky, 30 inch walleye…they all forage on live bait fish…mostly.

    You do know what the benefit of eating a 50″ muskie is, don’t ya?

    You can use the “Y” bone for a tooth pick to pry out the leather meat from between your teeth!

    So, a Flatty grows about a pound a year, huh? I guess I better get some more fertilizer in my back pond to get these things growing faster! By the time they are ready to chow, I’ll be too old!

    Bring on the steroids!
