We fished Friday nite, all day Sat, and Sun morning. We caught 7 or 8 each day for 3 guys and I'd say 4 lb plus average, all jigging anyway, this was my first time that I cut them and hung out on a stringer for ten minutes or so. WOW what a difference it made in the fish cleaning. I was skeptical but no blood or slime to tend with, it was just like everyone says and the meat was nice and white. It's well worth the little extra step. Oh yeah, we put 40 nice perch in the box too SE of Kelleys, what an awesome weekend even if we did fish in a little rain on Sat.
