When I read that yesterday I was wondering the same thing :dunno:

I have probably caught 5000 perch in my life EASY.  The biggest I ever seen came out of my Grandpa's pond when I was young, where he fed them daily.  We pulled some 2.5 lb + fish out of there.  Lengthwise, I'm guessing the biggest we ever got was right around 16".  Very fat fish. 

I retract.  A little research and I see the state record fish from Michigan, at 3#, 12 oz was 21".  I doubt seriously there's a fish much longer than that.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

I have caught a 19" yellow perch on a 7" rapala while fishing for northern pike, and a 17" yellow perch on a white spinnerbait while fishing for largemouth bass.  Neither was weighed, I'm pretty confident the 19" fish was less than 3lbs (over 2 for sure), the 17" fish was a skinny post-spawner and maybe 1.5lbs.  Other than those two, I don't think I've caught a yellow perch over 11".
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Those are some beastly perch for sure! I have to say I've never seen fish like that. Caught some around 14 inches in a lake in nw. mont. called savage lake, but fish like that are far and few between.
Never give up, he will show up.

Yeah 300, that one is a FATTY!. You could feed a family dinner off that one perch. What time of the year are you fishing that area?
