Supper tonight. Lake Erie yellow perch from the Bass Islands area. Shore Lunch original recipe breading. Only thing better than walleye. Last picture is leftovers.
I spent 44 years in NE Illinois and NW Indiana. Had relatives by Saginaw Bay. Fished Lake Michigan Lake Huron Lake St Clair and Lake Erie. A lot of interior lakes of the northern lower peninsula. One time on Lake Michigan before there was a limit wife and I caught 150 yellow perch. It took me 3 hours to clean them. Never did that again.Left Mi in 70 or 71, haven't had a perch since, seen 6 big coolers full of 14-15" , took 2 men all day to filet them.
