[emoric]

Jumbo perch fillets.

^^
what he said

[thorne]

To easy....perch. That's a 6" blade on that knife, that puts the perch in the 12-13" mark..ie. A nice one. Can't be pike cause the Filleting does not have the length it needs besides it would not be a nice one, or mentioning within 2 hours of Calgary, any other species would also be to small to mention..so perch it is! Or not...but i'm all in regardless!

BTW...cool post idea. Well done!

[tacklerunner]

Key word being "keeper" and with respect to the length of the knife.

[BeeGuy]

Blade is 7 1/4" long.

[thorne]

Blade is 7 1/4" long.


Cool....really nice perch! Would still be to small to be worth mentioning if it was any other species.....let it ride!

x2. way too small to be a "keeper" pike. id say a really nice perch

[EZM]

Walleye - I would have guessed except its too small to be legal under most circumstances so I gotta go with Jumbo Perch.

Definitely not a trout or whitefish ........

GOTTA BE A JUMBO PERCH

yum

why do yo say its not whitefish, i have no idea... just wondering
my thoughts process was the same as you, except i never fished whitefish so i dont know

[Alberta Bigbore]

BullTrout!

I don't catch nor keep allot of whites but it looks exactly like a small walleye fillet (the shape and the red meat along the center-line) - perch tend to be very similar in form as both are species of the same family.

The discolored meat, when I've filleted a white, is more brownish and the meat a different "whiter" shade from what I remember.

Also the shape, chest cavity etc.... definitely look like a perch/walleye family.

Just a theory I guess ......

If that knife is over 12" tip to butt - the perch was 14" - so a SUPER JUMBO HUMPY.

A couple of the places BEEGUY likes to hide and fish also hold some extremely large perch but nobody targets them. I have a theory about that too.

If I'm correct - I'm looking cool - If I'm wrong on both accounts then life goes on.

[EZM]

BullTrout!

Dang it Bee!! That's past my bed time..!!!

[FishingFrenzy]

100% a bull trout fillet.

Nah but seriously. Thats not a wide enough fillet for a jumbo perch. Im guessing a rainbow?

I'd be scared to eat a white fleshed bow.

Should be orange!!!

[Hellraiser]

small whitefish.

[Fishnafterwork]

oopps i guess i voted rain-throat.....?..what is that anyway?...did u mean cutbow?

[davegrant]

Definately an older fish with all the red meat against the skin. that would be a great perch or a decent rm white. I'm going w/ rocky mountain whitefish

[EZM]

Could be an albino trout ........... lol .............. with pink eyes.

[pikergolf]

100% lake white, and if you cut that red fat out they make a pretty tasty battered fish.

[BeeGuy]

1.6 lb white sucker

[valley13]

Out of curiosity how was it?

[BeeGuy]

No idea.

I fed it to some dinner guests and told them it was a mountain coho.

They were polite.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Snakehead!!

[thorne]

Well played sir...well played!

[BeeGuy]

I joke.

It was actually not bad. Haven't had any fish from Ghost that were bad however.

I think the cold water helps them stay tasty.

I won't be targeting them for the table, but now know what to expect.

Yum!

[BeeGuy]

In other news...

We had fish tacos for dinner.

Chipotle fried RMWF with homemade tomato/avacado salsa, Yucatan pumpkin seed sauce on a corn tortilla.

Yumm x2

I think I had at least 6.

Man, frying those RMWF with some chipotle was brilliant. Frickin delicious.

All credit for cookin goes to Ms. Bee

[jacenbeers]

I had to stay pretty tight lipped to avoid ruining the surprise that it was a sucker so not I will comment. I am quite surprised at how the fillets look. I thought they would be softer and gross. Pretty cool that they held together so nicely for a good fish fry.
