Growing up, we always had perch and pickerel (everyone used to call it that) on Christmas Eve as an appetizer. We took sleeves of salted crackers and beat them up with a roller, added garlic powder, salt and a bit of pepper to make the coating. Simple and fast. The fillets were cut into cracker sized squares. Some were coated, others were left as is. All were deep fried. Probably politically incorrect to have deep fried anything these days, but they were great hot or cold. Safe Shooting!

What is your biggest to date, my biggest was 32" or for an Aussie 81.28cm. I know, I know picture or it didn't happen lol Walleye fishing sucks in Alberta! KB Last edited by KillerBee; 12/07/22.

Typical of Lake Walleyes, notice the pale color of mine and how skinny it was? Because of its color and weight I thought is was a giant Sauger. That was caught in the North Saskatchewan River. Full Disclosure, that is not me in the picture, that is one of my girlfriends. Russian chick from Siberia. One tight unit!

My goodness that's a chunky Yellow Perch sir!!! Are we talking 12" or 14" maybe? If I caught anything that big I'd have to tear my Stormy Kromer off immediately or it'd get stuck on the corners of my Teutonic noggin due to swelling!!! Wow that's a lunker. Hey, as a by the way, have you ever tried bleeding your fish? I watched a couple videos on it and mean to remember to take some pruning shears with me next trip onto the ice. It's supposed to cool off again here so if it does, then I'm going to try to go to a local lake where I caught a few last week. Best to you all this week my friend.

Another question for you if you're so inclined sir, with the understanding that it's been most of a lifetime since I've had walleye and has to be 30 years since I've eaten crappie, but if you were to take a fillet from a walleye, crappie or perch from the same lake, what would you say the difference in texture and taste are? We used to eat smallmouth and largemouth here, but again it's been a long, long time since I've eaten one of them. From the same lake as a perch for instance, a smaller bass was pretty close in flavor but perhaps a wee bit more "tough" in texture? A little? Thanks for the bleeding info too, I might try it just to see what I can see. Again congrats on the lunker perch, that's a dandy and then some. Best to you all.

Dwayne Hmm, interesting thought, Dwayne. With the understanding, I'll happily eat all 3, I'd say the crappie & perch are finer grained & possibly, a wee tad sweeter, than walleye, but all are neutral, on a "fishiness" level. bon appétit, Mate !

Thanks for that reply, I very much appreciate it. That's interesting to read for sure and not entirely surprising to me somehow - but still good to read from someone who has done it recently. A buddy and I were talking about eating the mostly planted rainbows from our local lakes and we were in agreement that the taste varies lake to lake and then for sure within some lakes during the year. His thought was when the algae blooms hit its time to stop eating rainbows, but said he thought brook trout held better flavor longer and in different lakes. When I was just getting back into ice fishing 4 winters back, I went with a buddy up to a mountain lake near his place where we caught some nice 14"-17" rainbows. My goodness though we should have left them in that water.... If I was going to guess Paul, I'd make a guess that the local rainbows have sold more smokers at Can Tire than any of the sales flyers have. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Actually some of the Winnipeg family have a cabin down at Rock Lake which is just north east of you folks too if I'm not mixed up once again. Way back in the day I was chatting with a fellow from Wyoming who gave me the impression nowhere else in the world had wind and cold like they did. While I allowed that it was prone to be brisk there, we'd been downtown Portage and Main a few times that we got frostbite going from the vehicle into the store. Ah, prairie winters!

Just got back in from a lake 5 minutes from the house - Vaseux Lake - where I'd done okay for perch a week ago. It's only -5° but really quite windy. Drilled the hole and the ice felt punky this morning and was about 4" thinner than last week. Tried to put up the tent and immediately one anchor point got ripped off the tent. The anchors really, REALLY were cracking the ice too. Since Vaseux is part of the Okanagan River system, they vary how much water comes in and out this time of year and there was some open water on top of the ice south of me..... I give up!! Back home, microwaved what was left of the morning coffee, built a fire in the garage woodstove and will see what it takes to repair the tent in a little bit. All of these are First World problems to be sure. Best to you all today my friend. Dwayne The most important stuff in life isn't "stuff"
