I helped Dad fix this after our first trip to St. Joseph, Michigan fishing with Captain Ken in Lake Michigan in 2001, and then on our canoe trip on the Blue River in southern Indiana with the Berry's in 2003. We fried Large Mouth Bass and Catfish the same way at Grandmother's house, after catching them off her dock, in her special electric frying skillet in 2004. Soooo good!
