[cool][#0000ff]The bass ended up in the same Panko pile as the walleye...and in the same alimentary canal.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]While I like the cheek meat of walleyes...and most fish large enough to make it worthwhile to dig for...I ain't a fanatic about it. Takes longer to dig out the cheek meat than to fillet and skin the fish.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]One of the times I almost always harvest the cheek meat is when I also save the rib cages. I poach (boil) them together with the head and skeleton in seasoned liquid and then both the cheek meat and the salvageable flesh from the other parts is easily removed. I am attaching a PDF file I put together a couple of years ago on "Waste-Free Wipers" that shows the process...also works for walleyes.[/#0000ff]
