Title: Perch anyone??
Post by: BLKBEARKLR on March 26, 2010, 08:46:28 AM: 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

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

Post by: Ripper on March 26, 2010, 07:47:11 PM: 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.

Post by: C-Money on March 28, 2010, 10:16:06 AM: Ever notice that on every crappie I have caught or see caught when lipped, they always lift/bend their tail! Just thought of that from the pictures.
