Perch ice fishing and filleting Video 1/27/25

[Mildog]

Yep, if I use the fork I never touch the fish until I wash the fillets to put in a bag. I use rubber gloves as much for clean-up as anything. It’s faster for me to grab the fish with gloved than with the fork but when they are almost frozen I use fork so I don’t freeze my hands ? and like you mention I never touch anything in right hand but the knife so don’t really need a glove. I have boxes of the exam gloves and they keep hand from getting fishing when rinsing and bagging fillets as week as cleaning up. Perch are so yummy, will be back after them again soon. I think I fished near you last year and Jmorfish a day last year . Maybe will see you in the ice!
Good luck tight lines!
