a close relative to this American yellow perch ( P. flavescens) are widely distributed throughout Europe and introduced as far as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa according to Wikipedia. They have proven themselves to be one of top freshwater sport fishes, especially for UL anglers spawning millions of Euros in UL tackles and in my opinion- the creation of current generation of high quality JDM rods such as the famous Tict ice cube or the Evergreen Superiors. My question is why aren’t they being mentioned more? I’ve only heard and learned of them here on this forum. Why aren’t they more popular here in America is bizarre to me. I mean according to some members here they also good eating and with max size of almost 20 inches long up to 4 pound I can only imagine the fight on a rod with 4lb test! Thanks for sharing, Sir! Pretty fish.
