Bottom bouncing slab and jig rigs set up Sabiki style, managed four fish – a Shad, a Crappie, a Channel Catfish, and a Yellow Bass.

After marinating for a couple hours, added a sprinkling of Seasoned Pepper, and then melted butter in oil.

Cooked the fillets for 5 to 10 minutes each side, and then served them with Fried Rice and Squash.
