PERCH, the other white meat

[stiff tip]

for about a wk now i've been living on yellow perch filets and smelt.... deep fried brown and chrispy. there unreal . if you have never tried them you are missing out on the best tasting little delicasy on earth (imo) i used a otw dave marsh recipe but oil was at 375# and cooked 1min longer ..... only thing is a little extra weight this wk ..... ice fishing last wk was good for me w/ smelt in maine, about3/4 of a 5gal pail and the cow perch around home on the perch ponds .....we caught about 80 yellows on sat. but trout fishing sucked wind on sunday..the perch was the best.fish up to 15 inchs and about 20 over a ft long .. only about ten fish under 9 inchs...fishing was hot untill about 10am w/ jigs and tilts popping ... i will post pic ...i hope..
