Perch,How small is too small?

[fishday]

I'm with ya Wagdog. Last night I ate about 6 of those little suckers--no bigger than lLake Michigan smelt-- and it was a meal that was indeed 'slap yo mama' good. Not a bit of wasted meat and everyone can practice their filleting technique on cooked fish. Nary a bone if you do it right. I use egg wash and seasoned flour because it doesn't make a hard crust that is little more difficult to penetrate.
Can't let em go from the depth they came from so might as well enjoy.
