My wife caught this Yellow Perch today. I did not realize the records were so small weight wise. Close to the record for sure a pound, I did not weigh it. Dah!!!!

How long was it.
Huge Yellow Perch! We fished Barkley today and caught one bluegill and one yellow bass...the crappie eluded us.
I caught 1 in Big Bear back in Jan that was 15 1/4 inches. She was big around as a softball!
I catch 2 or 3 per year ... I always throw them back ... (after they've squirted all over my boat) ...
I sure wish they would proliferate here on our lakes ...

That is some good eating.
I've saw a couple come out on the Kentucky lakeside maybe they will take off like the shell crackers did...would be awesome.
I hope so, After living out on Barkley for a few year, at least in my area, I have seen some changes in the species being caught. Seems like the smallmouth has increased were I fish.Quote:
