A big female yellow perch is a beautiful fish. Not too many other species that can challenge how pretty they are. Here is a good one I recently caught. One day I'd love to have a big one mounted. A fish near or at 2 lbs preferably. They don't get too big here in VA like up north.
That is a nice fat one, great pic.
I cant figure out how to flip that picture so its correct.
The pic looks fine to me. Nice catch.
Nice fish. If I caught one that big in SC I'd probably have it mounted.
Here you go

wish had here in Arkansas nice pic
I've heard they are very good eating. You might catch a small one every now and then here in KY but that's about it.
nice fish.We grow them like that down here in N.C. All you had to do is drift down river a little bit. IT is hot now also. Was nice to meet you at the bash, and glad that you stuck it out to win.
That's a fat sucker
Dang ....that's nice
That's the best eating fish there is
Nice fish
Biggest I got was about 13.5
Look up Idaho new state record perch. Just caught here recently through the ice
They are very beautiful, they look almost tropical to me with their coloring. I love ice fishing for them as you'll get a few even on the slowest of days and they tend to be nice and fat but honestly they are so extremely common around here that I tend to ignore them for the rest of the year
Where did you catch that one? I wish we had more around my area of VA.
They get really big up north don't they? A 2 lb one around here is a very rare fish in my opinion. I've caught them over 14 inches that didn't weigh much more than 1.25 lbs. Suffolk, va
That is one beautiful fish! Up here in MA, we don't get them that size until mid-fall, early winter, when the "bull" perch come into the Oxbows prior to feed prior to ice up. Very hard to find in the main river once the water warms in the spring though.
+1 on that! Used to get some monsters up in Canada when younger on vacation. If they were too small to eat they became pike bait!Quote:
