Jumbo Perch

Post by martin08 »

Took the girlfriend fishing last evening. And what happens? Of course she has only fished a few times in her life, and caught a White Perch that is twice as large as any of the thousand that I have caught.

An average adult White perch in Maine is 8-10" long, and just under 1/2lb. Of which, we caught many.

But the Jumbo catch of the evening went just under 15" in length, and just under 2-1/2lbs. Do you think she was just a little bit excited?

:D

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
