Default Preparing Porgies

How do most of you guys prepare porgies? Do you fillet them or go with the panfish method of scaling/dressing them and then cooking? Basically, I caught a mess of them today and filleting them was kind of annoying since the fillets seemed pretty small.

I don't fish for porgies that often and when I have, it's been on a party boat. This was out in my personal boat at the Axel Carlson Reef and they were pretty much all over the place. I know the regs say 9-inches, but do you usually set a "personal limit" of sorts? Seems you need to catch a jumbo one to get a nice fillet out of it.
