New Year's Day Black Sea Bass Masgouf

So my bro in-law hooked me up with two Black Sea Bass (BSB) from the Deep Drop trip he and other Kayakers from another forum took recently (http://www.snaggedline.com/showthread.p … t-12-28-13) and I decided to Masgouf one of them to keep with the tradition wink. Here are the pics...

The fish was delicious! The only hang-up I had was the hard head. I haven't experienced anything like this and I was able to cut through a snakehead! The hard head on the BSB bent the tip of my knife! (same one I was using at the CBKA) I had to take another cleaver-like knife and hack through the head to split it open! Next time I'm going to have a nice sharp cleaver ready for these types of hard headed fish!

Sea Bass are one of my favorite fish to eat. Freezes well too. A friend and I caught a bunch over Thanksgiving weekend and I've probably eaten Sea Bass for dinner 7 or 8 times since then. Your fish looks awesome!

Hey Abu,

Nice job on the fish.

Where did you get the spit & holders you have in the first pix?

Re: New Year's Day Black Sea Bass Masgouf

Thanks for the complements Gents!

The spit and holders were from Walmart. The spit is a hot dog camp fork with the fork cut off and tip sharpened. The holders are called camp fork rests (comes as a pair). Those don't seem to be carried by Walmart anymore but you can find them online from a few retailers (Dick's included I just found out... Must have seen my video LOL! ).

I have a channel on youtube that shows how I do Masgouf - http://www.youtube.com/user/AbuMasgouf - Check out "Masgouf 101 at the CBKA Tournament" for a step by step.

It's not stealing bro, it's learning from each other wink

No sir. With your help in 2014 we can make that happen! Mmmmm 2 jumbo WP hanging on the skewer roasting away..... I can't wait!

A kayak fishing buddy last year tried out his first Masgouf with two jumbo WPs and he loved 'em! My biggest WP from last year was barely 11“ LOL!

I know you did it at a tourny or one of the mkf meets, but it'd be cool to have a get together and do it locally as well.

Sure! Always happy to teach others how to do it smile

We talked about this last year (at my place) but I never made it happen.

Will have to load up on WP and then we can do some masgouf after some time fishing the ponds....

Re: New Year's Day Black Sea Bass Masgouf

Yeah, I'd like to see it done in person so I could add it to my options for cooking fish. Carl would probably have called anything but frying a WP blasphemy but I think it might be easier than filleting a cooler full of fish.
