Western wa perch
prophet:
hahahaha i have slayed many walleye and i think the amount of time I've fished i would know the difference between the two. and I've eaten perch and they are tasty but all those big ones i have put back. i wish i wasn't at work or i would post the pics. but if you think this a joke you are wishful thinking. i think maybe if your catching small ones all the time you should look in to a different tactic for targeting bigger fish. use small stuff catch small fish use bigger stuff catch bigger fish. but that's just me. i knew if i posted that i would be reading about it later. so thanx fellow outdoorsmen love the feed back. 8)

I caught a perch in Offut Lake about 22 years ago that showed close to 3lbs on my digital scale. If I remember right it was close to 20". Caught it on a 4" grub while bass fishing. Sure did taste good. :drool:
A 27"er would have to go over 4 lbs I bet.

I wasn't going to open my mouth about 17-18" perch but since you guys brought it up, my buddies and I have caught tons of them around that size. Real tasty and a blast to catch on my ultra lite 3'6" Loomis rig. We have a honey hole ;)

i have caught a ton of huge perch{14-17"-ish range} in lake washington while drop shotting for smallies. they nail the 4"roboworms. i see guys targeting them and they seem to do well.
i would like to see a picture of a 27" perch. i know a 25" largemouth is 10+lbs and if a 20" perch is 3 pounds{which sounds about right} then a 27" perch would be a world record i bet.
here is a link to a record perch that is only 16.5 inches long and 3.5lbs. a 27" perch is definately a world record , it should blow the record clean out of the water.
