Perch anyone??

[BLKBEARKLR]

On Sunday, March 7, 2010, Bob Ruff of Garnavillo, Iowa, landed a perch while ice fishing a bayou of the Mississippi River’s Pool 11 that turned out to be a new state record. The jumbo yellow-belly weighed 2 pounds, 6 ounces. This fish breaks the old record, shared by three other anglers, by 3 ounces

What a toad!  Silver Lake (in Spokane Co) should be turning on real soon, and Down's Lake should really produce by mid-July.

I've caught some big perch, but that fella is a fatty. Awesome.

my biggest one was maybe ehh 5oz that's a nice one!

That is a big Perch! I think our new state record is in Moses Lake. We have got quite a few jumbo's, my Dad got a 15''er a few years ago!

we used to catch them by the bucket load back east through the ice....good fun.

WHat a nice perch
Used to catch big perch ice fishing for walleyes. Funny the perch would try and swallow a minnow half their size!
Voracious eaters and very tasty

Perch and Crappie fillets, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good!  makes me want to go fishing.

That's a whopper! I caught one 13" in potholes a few years ago, it hit a 5" grub. I didn't even get a hook in him, he just swallowed it and couldn't spit it out. Not nearly as fat as that pig, but it's the biggest I've ever caught.

I've caught big perch in the Dakotas, lots of 1-2lbers..Nothing that big..Eat it or mount it??  Reminds me of this crappie I caught several years ago..I released it.  Should have mounted it?
