Baked Largemouth Bass

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Rinse and pat fish dry. Make 2 or 3 diagonal shallow cuts on the sides and dust lightly with flour. Brush bass with melted butter, inside and out, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Place fish in a buttered baking dish. Pour wine into the dish and bake for 10 minutes per inch thickness of fish, basting several times during cooking. Serve with lime wedges.
