30 years ago we used to catch perch like that ice fishing over at conesus lake, back before everyone had huts to wimp out in lol. Not that many though, I remember catching a dozen and being happy with it. Those days are long gone as well.

Anytime you have a mound of fish staring at you waiting to be cleaned it becomes a lot of work, whether they are walleye or perch. And the small one that looked ok to keep on the boat now look a lot smaller and I tell myself, why did I keep that one. LOL

That's going to be me someday probably closer than I realize, taking the grandkids on erie fishing for perch, ok that's enough, now go swimming!
