The last time I took the boat out on Oneida we caught quite a few walleye about 2 or 3 pounds, alot of nice perch about 12in or so and a few larger smallies. I let go all the walleye and kept about a dozen or so perch and 1 about 2 pound smallie. I am one that gets my fish and gets them on ice right away. I get them cleaned and get them ate but I will tell you what. I got them out to start cleaning the fish and that smallie smelt like I had drug the damn thing behind my truck, and over a pile of crap. The perch were perfect and ice cold. I have no idea what is up with those smallies but I hardly want to touch those things anymore. I dont know how you could even try and eat that.
