Just curious, anyone in MT (or more specifically Western MT) ever run into big perch in smaller ponds? I have some spots I'm going to try that have northerns and perch in smaller bodies of water and I"m going to start exploring. Wondering if anyone has been successful in finding nice, big perch in smaller bodies of water in Montana. I'm hoping i can find some spots without the typical stunted perch we too often find.
ice caught bigger perch in smaller water bodies but have noticed over time that the bigger ones either get caught or die out and are replaced by their over abundant offspring and trully big ones are never really present again...maybe water body size is the limiting factor?
ya i know ive beat the state record in pounds and length just never have done the whole process to get them registered
Trout Hounder - 16 inches would be a new state record. You getting those in MT somewhere?
