Took a float trip with a cousin yesterday. Found an active deer crossing where I had a tree drilled last year. I never got to hunt it due to flooding. I will carry my drill and prep it next trip.

You fry them whole, skin and all?

Yup. Got them home and gutted, scaled, and took the heads off. Then on ice until we were ready to fry. Mixed 1/4C AP flour with 3/4C corn meal along with about 1.5t each of salt, pepper, and cajun seasoning. Just dredge them in the batter and drop in the fryer for 4 or 5 minutes. Pull the dorsal fin off and then work the meat away from the bones along the spine down to the ribs. With smaller fish you get way more meat off that way IMO.

I'm a huge fan of creole seasoning over my corn meal batter myself! Also, true statement about the smaller fish comment!
 
I saw a video the other day of a guy scaling panfish with a pressure washer. He did 20 of them in about 2 minutes...
