hands hurt from taking perch off for me and my son and wife on sunday and monday they will heal fast was at dicks bait shop this morning he had delivery of emerald shiners also has goldies

Take 1/2 cup of regular laundry bleach and about one gallon of hot tap water and mix, (I do this in the kitchen sink) wash and then soak hands in this mixture for just a few minutes and rinse with plain water until the slime/slippery feeling is gone. Do this in a slow relaxed way so you do not splash the mixture into your eyes or on your clothes. It draws out all of the hurt and sanitizes the cuts and punctures (kills the bacteria) caused by the fins and gill plates while removing and then counting those perch. It is amazing how well this works in relieving the soreness!

Be forewarned that when you first put your hands in the mixture that every little nick, scrape, cut and puncture will burn some then it goes away. Washing your hands in and working in the mixture gets that mixture in most of the nicks, scrapes, punctures and cuts. Some of the bigger or the most sore may take a few hours to stop being sore. The sooner you get this done after fishing or fish cleaning the faster and better it works.

Thanks for the info. Does it help with the fishy smell?

Yes it does, especially if you use a few drops of your favorite dish detergent and lather up as you are rinsing your hand for the last time. Your hands will probably be all or mostly all healed in 48hrs or less as long as you don't have any deeper cuts, but they will be bearable and not sore if not totally healed. This works well for paper cuts and cuts from your fishing line also. Let us know how you like this way for sanitizing your hands after fishing.
