I only just got started this season perch / pan fishing. Only have about 10 lbs. in the freezer. About 9 lbs. of trout, 12 lbs. of pike. Ate a few lbs. of each so far.

4-5 lb crappy and 4 lb perch.  I package in .5 lb bags, it's just me and my wife though. That will last me without freezer burn or wasting any.

No idea but the trash mans not going to like how heavy the cans are this week with the perch guts.
Wish I knew somebody that wanted them for fertilizer.

Cant seem to keep perch in the freezer, between my self, my roomates and my parents, we go through 3-5 pounds of fish/week.   Baked or Fried, its all good  ;D

I don't put them in the freezer, fish shouldn't be frozen anyway. It messes up my venison inventory lol.

Bought a stand up freezer this fall, between venison and ice fishing I almost need another small chest freezer not a bad problem to have though.

I made a new "rule" this year...any fish caught were eaten right away.  If I had too many, they were given away fresh.  Too many "lost" packages in the freezer and I really hated wasting them.
