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!
