I clean all of my fish. As far as 5 perch a minute - I am there as well. All of the guys that fish with me enjoy coming back to my house, have a few brews and clean fish. Afterwards it is time to relax. When I have new fisherman or kids along, I show them how to clean fish. It is part of the whole experience. I just did this Thursday. Now not only can they tell their friends that they caught a lot of fish but they can also tell their friends that they took the experience full circle and cleaned and in some cases, ate the fish they caught the same day. This also goes for hunting. I clean all of my game from rabbits to ducks to deer. It is all part of the experience.
