Good thing we can run 40mph to get out of the wind and tuck in a cove…
Murray stripers?
Never had Striper, good? Never did find a sweet spot for large mouths in PA, wasn’t anywhere near as good in the kitchen back then as I am now though.
Striper makes some great fish tacos. Beer batter them and fry them up.
Bones?
You can cut the backstrap part and basically have a bone free filet.
Nice!
Looks like Crappie.
I never heard the term Crappie until I moved down here. We called them them Sunfish or Bluegill depending on whether they had the yellow. Both pictured would be keepers if hungry, but IMHO that fish gets better the bigger it gets.
I have yet to figure out a bait caster myself @Coolwin1776
Thumb burner for me? Nah…
Been catching, skinning and eating bream since the early '60’s . My mom loved to fish, and we spent the most of the whole summer in Alabama at my Grandparents house when I was a kid. My Granddad would bring us to a place called Pete’s Lake in his fishin rig - a 1946 Plymouth. He had also had a '62 Chevy shorted pickup, and a '65 Ford Galaxy. But the old Plymouth was his fishin rig.
He, my mom and Uncles had all kinds names for different panfish. - Bream, Google Eye, Perch, Warmouth, Stump Knockers, etc. My brother calls all of them Perch, regardless of type, except Bass of course.

They all eat good
