Practice w/ an electric. Just don't go through the backbone like I do sometimes! It's fast & easy!
You will not fish out a perch population, only make it better by controlling the number of perch out there. If it gets bad, people will give up the effort to catch them.
This is how I tried to describe it last night:Perch
Here in South Dakota, one of our biggest problems is perch lakes being fished down to nothing in the winter. Our lakes aren't that big here and on one lake in particular 1,000 to 1,200 shacks on the ice is average. When a lake gets hot, it gets fished out unless another lake gets hot and the fishermen leave and go to the new lake. In order to preserve the perch fishing, our daily limit has gone from 50 to 25 and now it is 10 and the lakes still get fished out. Too many people come here for our perch fishing.

WOW! A 10 fish limit on perch?That is strict, but it beats not having any. 8)
Use an electric and fillet it like a walleye. Also check out yutube- there is a video called "how to clean a perch in 10 seconds" it's pretty cool and I've done it with the smaller ones. Sorry don't know the exact post on yutube.
