Ditto on that, only takes a few seconds longer to have 2 nice fillets. Taste way better when both side of the fillet are coated and deep fried. I got to get back out this Sat and jig myself up some. Those are some impressive numbers and sizes you guys are taken.

The charles river is filled with yellow perch, some almost a foot a long. Its to bad there is a fish consumption advisory otherwise I'd have some in the deep fryer right now.
