I saw a fish recipe on Univision, the Spanish channel. But you wouldn’t need to know Spanish to see how mouthwatering their dish looked. I’m determined to try it. I’ve got all the ingredients… ah, ah, ah, except one, you know what it is, the fish! Check the notes below for the recipes, fishing equipment and lake info.

Here is my interpretation and spin on the recipe
Ingredients
1 pound of fish fillets (original recipe called for tilapia. I used small bass)
salt and pepper to taste sprinkled over fish
½ teaspoon of salt for the cream sauce
¼ to ½ teaspoon of freshly ground pepper for cream sauce
2 TBS of vegetable oil
2 TBS. of butter
1 garlic clove, finely chopped (I used ½ teas. of minced garlic from jar)
½ (4 ounces) of red onion (rough chopped is fine)
1½ cups of heavy cream
1 to 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce plus 1 teaspoon of the sauce.
Directions
1 Season the fish with salt and pepper.
2 in a small skillet on medium-low heat add a tablespoon of oil. Sauté onion and garlic until transparent.
3 Blend, cream, sautéed onion, sautéed garlic, chipotle and salt and pepper and set aside.
4 In a large skillet add 2 TBs oil and 2 TBS of butter and put skillet on medium heat. Then add fish and cook fish for 1 minute on each side.
5 Reduce the heat to low, pour chipotle cream sauce over the fish, and cook until the fish can be easily flaked with a fork, approximately 5 minutes for small fish, up to 10 for thick fish.

Fishing Equipment and Lake Information
THE LURE:
The lure is a Gopher 1/16 ounce lead jig head with a 2.5 inch Action Plastics Shad Grub.
THE SPINNING REEL:
The spinning reel is a Pflueger Trion GX-5. This model is no longer made.
THE SPINNING ROD:
The spinning rod is a tiny Daiwa SMC401ULFS Spinmatic-C SpinRod (4- Feet, Ultra Light, 1 Piece, 1-4 pound line test recommended). It can be found on Amazon, Fish USA, and other places.
THE LINE:
The line is SpiderWire, Ultracast, Invisi-Braid in 10 pound test, 2 pound monofilament equivalent.
THE LAKE:
The lake is called Lake Ketchabigwon (named by native Americans). It is almost 6 acres and is located in NE Ohio. It sits on 37 acres of property. The lake is private.
FISH IN THE LAKE:
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.
WHY I DON’T FISH FOR CATFISH
Yes, there are channel catfish in the lake but I’m not knowledgable about how to fish for them. Rigging for them is confusing to me. Also, I don’t enjoy sitting and waiting for a bite. It seems boring.
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 larges crappie was 14¾ inches and weighed 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.
VIDEOGRAPHY:
The principal camera is my iPhone 6s Plus on a tripod. I also use an iPhone 5s as a close-up, counter-top camera when cooking. It is mounted on a small tripod. I use a Rhode microphone indoors to help lessen the echo. The video is edited on my MacBook Pro using Final Cut Pro X.
