N.Y. Blue Perch
« on: Feb 02, 2011, 08:11 PM »
I went out this morning and one of my buddies caught a blue perch. We have never seen one before. So when we came off the ice we looked it up and found that it is a lack of yellow pigment and the chances of catching one is 1 in millions. I will try and put some pics up later.

Sometimes you have to fish when you can,
not when you want, but guess what?

You're still fishing!!!

We've got a state pond that has quite a few in it.  Usually catch 4-5 a season

That's pretty cool! Looks like how they would show a sick perch in a cartoon!
