Walleye are in the perch family and your right they do taste a little like perch if you don't catch and clean a big one. Up to an 18 inch walleye is about perfect.

I agree Dick !Yellow Perch are a  great meal .Only ate one Walleye I caught (only ever caught three,all on shad raps)and the Walleye tasted like Perch to me.

I have five white perch in the freezer I intend to cut up into strips ,put on jigs and ice fish with this year for the first time .I will salt them like I do dead shiners I use that work .

All I can say is before the walleye it was strictly perch. My Dad and I use to go out and catch wash tube loads and then reality set in when it was time to scale and fillet them but the 2nd best part was the eating them.

John - I believe a 12.5" yellow perch can rightly be called a keepr. Nothing to sneeze at for sure. I love your idea of a calendar from your local waters, with a pic of a caught fish for each month. What a great plan.

I do admire any guy who consistently catches fish all year. It is one thing to "tear 'em up on the beds," as they say around here. Or to get a striper or two during their spring run. But to catch them all year, winter or summer, rain or shine, says as much about the angler as anything.

Dick, Ive heard that many people use the white perch as cut bait for the big catfish around here.
