Got this guy not long ago today...caught another perch and lost a nice bass...heartbroke on that one..

He's dinner tonight.

Nice fish! You find one of them, you usually can find a bunch! Took the kids out last night and caught maybe 11 perch and blue gill, plus a few rock bass. Nice fillets. We prefer to steam them then serve over rice..... Got a favorite recipe for the fish?

[saylean]

Butter
salt pepper
lemon juice
wrap in foil

BBQ for a bit and serve...not much of a chef...

Hey, that sounds great to me... sometimes less is more!


When I steam these little fillets, just some butter, a splash of Old Bay seasoning, maybe some garlic herb spice....great eats!

nice work taking the kids out...bet they had a blast. Some of my fav memories are of me and gramps hitting sunday lake in his boat.

I feel like a real schmuck, this the first panfish trip of the year. Usually I have had them out alot by now. The lakes seem to be a whole month behind where they usually are by now.... No big schooling of Bluegill or perch to date. Must be from our cold spring.....

I have had them out after trout a few times....been busy summer working a swing/late shift to avoid summer daycare expenses.... I am not home on friday nights like previous years.....

I even just noticed that the grouse Opener lands on a Monday!    This royally screws up grouse trip plans. No three day grouse trip for the kids... Crummy summer so far...need to get them  out on the fish I guess!

sammamish is plumb full of panfish at the moment...caught another one of the crappies tonight...slightly bigger than this one..

although it tasted nasty...like sulfur (which is uncommon for the fish I have pulled outta here)..so its coon food.

Nice lookin fish!  Me and JoeVon go see family in Oklahoma every spring and go crappie fishing.  We catch some big ones like pushing 14 inches!  Just baskets full!

No fair!
