Ice Fishing Tips -Check your local regulations! > Perch
are most of the large belly perch full of eggs during winter? if so, why kill?
logicallycompromised:
i was offered this explanation from a trusted source as to why the perch get so fat in the winter. a quick google search suggest this to be accurate as well. has this been your experience?
the reason i am looking confirmation as it begs the question why do anglers seems to keep these desirable breeders? regardless of what their reason maybe it is their prerogative as a licensed fisherman to keep as many as they like in accordance with the laws. but as someone who gets a lot out of fishing i would like to use this thread as a way to possible inform others who may not think much about all the tomorrows. from what i understand these toads offer little extra meat in exchange for their added mass. smaller males could offer similar fillets with the added benefit of aiding in a healthy population.
what say you?

they breed like cockroaches..if you don't harvest they will become over populated and stunted.

Exactly. Plus they taste great and you cannot buy them at a market. And because of your post, you reminded me that tomorrow sounds like a great day to have perch for dinner!

G ;Dreat eating and abundant. Just keep your harvest to what you can use for a couple meals.
