We did, thanks!

Caught 63 of them. They are in the cooler at the local fish cleaner
waiting
to be descaled and butterfly filleted. I will pick them up tomorrow.

Weather is predicted to be perfect........the perch are
biting..........heading out tomorrow! My wife is going out with me
so
we
can fill the cooler with 80 of them (Ohio limit on Lake Erie is 40
perch/person/day).

Mmmmmmmmmmm..........yellow perch. ;-)




Aren't they bony?

The fish the little kids target from the floats in the local marinas
are "pile perch", and they may be different from your yellow perch- but
a pile perch seems like it's about 80% bones and maybe 20% meat.....
Too much work to cook and eat, for what little meat you get, (IMO)

We did. Heck, my wife kissed me on the cheek on the way home for the great
time! It doesn't get any better than that!!

We will pick the fish up tomorrow..........descaled and butterfly filleted
professionally...........all 63 of them.

Preparing fresh caught yellow perch for the freezer or cooking is quite
different from preparing bass or walleye, even over a bottle of beer. At
least one person here does not quite understand that..........I am sure you
know who I am talking about. as he is the only one bitter that I had a nice
day on the water with my wife catching fish. ;-)

How sad.
