love whole fried fish allen.i live in a semi rural area of south cook county.about 10 miles outside chicago,we have a lot of canepole and a bucket people that will keep any fish they catch.they just aren't always that good at catching them.there is little to no enforcement of catch or size limits .it amazes me you can catch anything in public water around here.i only casually fish these ponds as they are close to home .

Creeks I can understand.  Small ponds?  That's the worst!  They'll overpopulate and stunt in a few years there.

You could always do the old cut-and-gut routine.  Scale them, cut off the heads, clean out the guts, bread and fry them whole.

I would do this for one of my home lakes (millions of stunted Crappie), and for Bluegill, but my wife INSISTS on fillets.......
