I got to take 2 of my sons with me today. We had a ball. It took about 45 min to find the fish but once we found them it was on. We all got a limit. Drop shotting minnows in 35 fow. One of my boys got a 14 ½" crappie and the other landed a 12 ¼" perch. I'm gonna send in for a Master Angler certificate for my son's perch. It was a dandy. Good times with the boys!Attachment 366071Attachment 366072Attachment 366073Attachment 366074

Those are nice fish ! The lads will remember that day with their Dad.
Nice. Didn’t know there was yellow perch in Bull Shoals.
There are some Perch in north Missouri but Bull is the only lake in south Missouri i have ever seen one caught in. That one is a thumper.
To qualify for the Missouri Master Angler yellow perch they have to be at least 9", crappie is 15", walleye is 27". Of the 5 yellow perch that he caught 4 were over 9". I'm not sure what he was doing different than me and my other boy but I didn't catch any and my other son only caught 1 @ 6". He was the perch master that day.

Very good I catch a few in BS most are turned back unless deep hooked.
Nice!
They are very good to eat. We catch a bunch in Canada.
I'd rather eat yellow perch than just about any fish except for bluegills. I love bluegill! We released all the perch caught, because I'm pretty sure their spawning right now. There isn't a huge population of them, but I'd like there to be.[emoji3]Quote:
