Bruce, you are a good fisherman and produce tremendous results. I applaud you. I am from the old school and just have one question that has bothered me lately. We have always scaled, gutted and beheaded our sacalait, then fried them whole. Why does everyone insist on fileting them today?

Thanks for the compliment Cajun but I really don't consider myself that great...I am old school myself and have two years on you...I grew up in Mississippi fishing mainly for bream and white perch (sacs)...we cleaned them just like you described and always had to fight the bones...years after I moved to Louisiana I learned about the fileting and really like eating a boneless filet of fish without the worry of bones...and the cleaning is so easy...if you fish Henderson, look for my charcoal Triton Fish & Ski with the big windshield and Crappie.com stickers...

Not everyone cajun, I love whole fryers, scaled, gutted and off with the head. Now for some family members I do fillet some, but for taste nothing beats on the bone in my view. But anything over 10 inches gets filleted. That's why I keep eight and nine inch fish.

Nice batch of fish! I too prefer filet instead of fighting bones.

nice again Bruce, Cajun, my dad used to skin the fish and cut off the head, then just filet one side and fry the rest on the bone.

I think that high barometric pressure in the fall and winter really hurts the fisherman. Thoes days have the best conditions for us but are the worst for the bite.

That’s a nice mess of fish. I like my brim on the bone but filet white perch as they do not use as much freezer space
