Got a good one

[Jigging Nomad]

Took a half day to go jig my favorite lake for big Bluegill.  Turned out to be a real tough bite with only two bluegill at 9" and 7".  I also jigged up bass of 15" and 17" and a 14" fat Yellow Perch, probably the heaviest one I have ever caught.  The only other Perch I caught was about 4".  It should have still had a yolk sac attached. Everything came from 13 to 17' of water on small jigs tipped with waxworms.  Real slow afternoon but nice to get a few quality fish. 

Here's a few pics of the bass and perch.

Nice perch Husky and The iceyone!

Husky,

Too bad the big bgs are hard to find. Maybe you're spoiled?  

Not sure what you mean by, "It should have still had a yolk sac attached?"  You do realize they will  build up their egg mass until the water gets in the upper 40's low 50's when they drop their egg strands?  I know people say they spawn under the ice but it's not true. I hatch my own in a separate pond each year now.

I mean the other perch was definitely VERY SMALL, almost to the point of finding it hard to believe I caught it.  The yolk sac comment was just to stress its diminutive size.

Oops my bad!   Sorry about that! I missed the part about the 4 inch perch! I guess I just I was so mesmerized by the picture I skimmed over your post.

That perch looks like it's ready to explode. I could only imagine what that pig would look like in a month or so. Nice one!
