Thread: Some more perch + fishing after rain

As far as our yellow perch go, a 14"-15" is a monster, might approach 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. but I've never heard of a 4 pounder. Based on my experience catching them, they are not much for fight at all. Can start strong but fade quickly. Sure, there are exceptions but in general, ounce for ounce the bluegill is a better battle.

Agreed. Adding a species most of the time is a bad idea.

Yep, many, many times it doesn’t work out. Agreed on the pan comments above. Ounce for ounce a terrific fighter and fun on the right gear.

Our fishing regs say unlimited panfish in any waters that aren't in a little chart, and these waters aren't marked, so theoretically, I'm sure they'd be fine, just after rain I wouldn't want to push it.

DSJ, I must have been misunderstood when I say THEY as in the American yellow perch that CTP caught, never hinting we should introduce European strain of perches at all. As for how big they get, a quick search came up with this.

Thanks for clarifying that up nicely though gentlemen!

I got caught up in thinking of all the invasives that had been brought over throughout the years.
