Hunting And Fishing Thread!?!

What is better than a perch pile?
TWO Perch Piles!
After doing Christmas festivities for the 3rd time in 4 days with the In-Laws side of family the brother in law and I high tailed it for the same lake not getting there till after 1pm. This time there were 7-8 houses with not sure how many people with one house close to where I had got most of my perch yesterday. We went to my 2nd hot hole from yesterday and quickly picked up where I left off, I did have to punch a few extra holes to stay on the fish but we didn't go far from the start point, maybe 15-20yds. The closest house was the guy and young with his family and we got to talk and exchange info from them I left and what they had during morning, they were able to get some action themselves and kiddo got to do some catching. We had our limits and started walking off around 4pm. Got home we got everything fileted and needed to eat and kids were hungry so fired up some oil and started breading and frying. Got about 12 pieces leftover that I will try reheated in air fryer tomorrow, never tried this so any info would appreciate it. Sorry for the long writeup but was just a good day.

Nice score, what is that block box in the middle of the 2 piles of fish? Is that something to keep the ice hole from freezing?

Awesome catch... Yes, reheat in air fryer to stay crispy (somewhat)
