Yep, the yellow perch are king of the freshwater fish for eating. Walleyes are damn fine and far bigger, but the perch reigns. Perch reigns as bait, for yellow cat. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

Pulled plugs around for a while in the mist and drizzle and a perfect walleye chop. Managed 6 sandbass, 3 saugeye, one crappie, and one flathead. The flathead and all but one big sandbass went back, the rest of them will make a fine Sunday dinner tomorrow after church. This little guy was odd looking, lots of black on him.

I used to eat 'gills and brim like that and got tired if picking through bones. I then learned how to fillet them properly. We don't like skin or bones in/on our fish. Dipping fresh fillets into the sauce and chowing down without that BS is its own reward.

I'd never fished for bluegill or crappie until I moved three years ago and discovered the lake 10 minutes from my house has a bunch. Fun to catch and some of the best eating fish ever! Not to sidetrack too much, but whatever became of your Tundra that got stolen? Seems like there was also an ATV or motorcycle involved. Was it ever recovered?

That was a Toyota T100, one of the nicer ones left in the country. The ATV in the bed was a grizzly 700. Truck was found after several months, but I was out of the country when it was auctioned. The ATV was offered on a CL type site in Seattle and I received a tip on that, some really great LEO I had some help from closed in on it and poof the perp vanished, ....
