That's a bunch of meals for sure. Do you have a buddy to help fillet all of them or is it just you? If it's just you, I can see that taking quite a while

That's a pig! I caught a bunch today too, but nothing that size. Went back and forth on keeping them, just wasn't sure what to do with them. How are you cooking them?

It takes me less than one minute a piece to fillet them I usually Grill them with a little bit of butter and salt and pepper super easy to fix. By the way I use an electric fillet knife very fast. After I fillet them I put them on a cookie sheet and freeze them. After they are frozen I put 8 oz each in a freezer bag and vacuum seal them they keep for a little over a year in the freezer. I pulled out one bag for each person when we're having dinner that's a half a pound of fish each. The key is freezing them before you put them in a freezer bag that way they do not stick together and are very easy to separate.

Thanks for the response, they sound tasty. Once this wind dies, I'm targeting them. I usually catch them on a z-man while fishing for stripers. Any rig you suggest if I want to specifically target them?
Also, great job fishing with your grandson, that will be great lasting memory.

What bait/ lure are you using?? Blood worms $$$ Perch spinner??? I have been doing pretty good on the Big Nose Perch spinners in White. Thanks

I'm very low cost 1/8 oz jig head , with chartreuse curlytail grub or yellow and white stripe. Use 2 or 3 inch grub. Big grub big fish but not as many, Small grub catch all sizes a fish every minute.

I gut them and freeze them in small plastic tubs filled with water. They keep their taste much better that way.

When I want to cook them, I defrost and marinate them in whatever I want, then I heat up a cast iron pan until water dances on it. I then ad a teaspoon or two of oil just enough to transfer the heat to the fish. I cook them for two minutes on a side and they are done. No scalling, as the skin will shrivel up with the scales during cooking. Hold the tail down, insert a fork into the meat and lift and it will come right off the bones.
