1 teaspoon oregano
DIRECTIONS
In a hot saucepan over a medium heat butter and olive oil, combine onions and red peppers; and sauté for about 10 minutes.

BAKED PARMESAN FISH
Inspired by this: food.com/recipe/baked-parmesan-fish-151785
INGREDIENTS
1½ LBS of small to medium fish fillets
4 eggs
1 cup or more heavy cream
1 cup water
1 Lemon
BREADING
2 cups grated parmesan cheese
1 cup (low-carb) breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt and pepper, optional (I didn’t need it)
DIRECTIONS
Beat egg, cream and water in a bowl. Submerge the fish fillets in the mixture and set bowl aside.
Dump the breading ingredients into a casserole dish and stir well.
Drain the fish in a strainer. Leave the fish in the strainer above the bowl. One at a time, take a wet fillet and put it into the casserole dish. Cover the fillet with the breading and pat on. Shake off excess and lay onto a well greased metal rack over a baking sheet. If you don’t have one, put fish on well-oiled baking sheet, or one lined with parchment.
Bake uncovered 375° F for 13 minutes. Remove from oven. Turn on broiler. Set fish under broiler for 2 minutes to brown them.
Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
FISHING EQUIPMENT AND LAKE INFORMATION
THE BOAT: is a Bass Hunter that I ordered from Bass Pro Shops 12 years ago. The Bass Hunter company is out of business. Boats like it are still sold under the name Sun Dolphin. Do a Google search for “two man fishing boats.”
THE LURE is a Model 6, 1/5 ounce Storm Thin Fin in blue-gold-orange (color is discontinued).
ALTERNATE LURE (1) is a 1/16 ounce Beetle Spin in black with yellow striped tail.
ALTERNATE LURE (2) is a 4 inch Crawdadz in brown and orange by Z-Man Fishing Products.
THE BAITCASTING REEL is a Shimano Calcutta 50B, from about 2004. This model is no longer made.
THE BAITCASTING LINE is Firewire Stealth Braid in moss green, 15 pound test, 4 pound monofilament equivalent.
THE BAITCASTING ROD is a Shimano Compre, Model CPC68MC, 6’ 8” fast action, medium power. Suggested lure weight ⅛ to ¼ ounce. Suggested line weight 6 - 12 pound test. Purchased April 2016.
THE SPINNING REEL is a Pflueger Trion GX-5. This model is no longer made.

THE SPINNING ROD is a Daiwa SMC401ULFS Spinmatic-C SpinRod (4- Feet, Ultra Light, 1 Piece, 1-4 pound line test recommended).
THE LAKE is called Lake Ketchabigwon (named by native Americans). It is 6 acres and is located in NE Ohio. It sits on 37 acres of property. The lake is private.
FISH IN THE LAKE are largemouth bass, bluegill, white crappie, black crappie, yellow perch, channel catfish, and grass carp.
WHY KEEP SMALL BASS: We had biologists come out and do an electroshock survey of the lake. They found too many small, stunted bass. Their advice was to remove all bass under 12 inches, and to release the bigger ones. This rule is usually the opposite in large public lakes.
LARGEST FISH CAUGHT: The biggest was a grass carp I hooked and managed to beach. It weighed over 30 pounds. Next was a channel cat (accidentally caught while bass fishing) of 10 pounds. The largest crappie was 14¾ inches weighing 2 LBS and 1 oz. I did not measure the largest bluegill, but it had to be at least 10 inches. Finally, my largest bass was 6¾ pounds caught here at Lake Ketchabigwon.
WHERE TO GET A CAP LIKE MINE: You can get a “Juanelo Bait & Tackle” baseball cap here, inkpixi.com/by-clothing-type/baseball-hats. In fact, you could put your own name on it.
VIDEOGRAPHY: The main camera is my iPhone 6s Plus on a tripod. I also use an iPhone 5s as a close-up, counter-top camera. It is mounted on a small tripod. I use a Rhode mic indoors to help lessen the echo. The video is edited on my MacBook Pro using Final Cut Pro X.
