world record perch

[taxi1]

JMiser,

Please take some pics of perch that big! I'd love to see pics of them European or not!

Are the Polish women as beautiful as they say they are?

[J Miser]

Lets put it this way, you want Brunettes, go to Italy, you want Blondes, Sweden, but if you want a beautiful girl, go to Poland.  I think I'm gonna marry one this time, just to bring a hottie back with me to Alaska and stop this beaver hunting, make my freinds drool, and feel like a king.  And polish girls are easy too.

And I'll definetely bring back a pic or two of some pig perch make a few of you perch hunters drool.  I'd love to get an 8 pounder and here people scream that its a weird colored walleye.  Even better would be a 30 pound Zander, now that would be cool.

Here's a closeup of mine with the tape measure. It was the real McCoy. Nothing that big since. If I would have caught here in April instead of February she would have weighed at least 3 lbs with more fully developed egg mass.

That is one beautiful PERCH :thumbsup:How deep of water where you in and what were you using. Hopefully you were jigging and it didn,t hit a dead line. That would have like pulling a hub Cap. Good Job!

They get some of those out of the bays of Lake Ontario on occasion.

Around the Simcoe region or Where . Do you fish for them or just fish walleye and if you catch a perch its a bonus.

The pond is only about 11 feet deep max. Fish was a couple of feet off the bottom and I took her on a rosey red fathead below a slip bobber. I caught three perch and the other two guys out there with me couldn't even catch one.

For the record, I have caught Yellow Perch with very vivid red fins, which kinda throws a wrench into the whole "Red fins = European Perch" thing.

Your absolutely right! Typically the males have the brightest pelvic fins especially toward spawning time.

The first thing a taxonomist will tell you is only a fool identifies a fish species by color.

yeh, did u read how much stuff IGFA requires.u need to prepare big time to make a claim.and the big catch most of the time is only once in the lifetime opportunity.U don't know when,where,if u gonna have it or not. i'm sure u caught a lot of big fish ,but did u ever try to claim it somewhere not even IGFA.It's all about a time and money and not everyone can afford it especially in other countries.

Anyone can file a world record weather its joe blow out on the pond or some rich slob. The only thing that it requires is time.

Agreed, and also I agree color alone can't be used for identification. But don't the European perch have reddish tails too? Ours do not.

Whatever you say.

Whom are you referring to? I think to say anyone can catch a world record is pushing it to say the least unless he was referring to line class records, which are a little more plausible.
