How to clean a Bass:
Place the Smallmouth bass on the cutting board lengthwise with its dorsal side facing away from you. Remove the scales by gently scraping from the fish's tail to its head with a fillet knife. Wash the scales away with cold water. Slice open the fish from its gill juncture to its rectum, maintaining the incision the entire way. The gill juncture on a Smallmouth bass is located at the top of its throat, in front of the dorsal fin. Clean the entire cavity - completely remove the fish's organs: heart, lungs, intestines and stomach. Wash out any remaining blood or tissue.
How to fillet Bass:
Lay fish on its back and cut cross ways below belly fins. Turn fish on side and run knife horizontally and cut towards tail, cutting through rib bones to the tail. Stop when you get to the tail and flip fish over and do the same thing on other side. Flip fillet again, grip the handle and run your knife between skin and flesh. Pull the handle and push the knife rocking gently towards the tail end. Remove bones at rib cage.
