[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 208079, member: 367"] unless you were lucky and had to go to school you probably cleaned perch for two days. There wasn't a limit on perch until sometime in the 80s or maybe even the early 90s ?? They were considered a Non game fish and when they were biting it was hard to go home. I remember pulling a two dayer on Devils Lake that ended with a pile of frozen perch as big as a huge muskrat house ,by the time I finally had them all cleaned 3 days later I vowed to never catch that many fish at one time ever again. You jarred my memory about gunny sacks, I'd sort of forgotten how important they used to be. They were a coveted prize possession that was always hung high so the squirrels and mice couldn't get into them, Anything that had a hole went in the gunny sack with a hole that was full of gunny sacks with holes and used for muskrat trapping to cover/plug the opening. Now my wife collects them , Depends on the advertising some are worth a little coin. I made a seat cover for my 31 chevy with flour sacks that have advertising and I assume are made from hemp. Kind of crazy what used to be important to survive back then compared to what is important to survive now days [/QUOTE]
