my 2 lb. white perch after laying on the cut board while I dressed fish for 2 hours then back on ice till next day and a week and half in the freezer
weighed 1 lb 15 oz. on certified scales. so there goes my record perch along with a high dollar perch guide service that would make millions and after I started to advertise in it put bretw`s where to and why not to fish there magazine on wall street . so there you have it why not to catch a record perch
