Post by: Germ on Feb 25, 2004, 01:41 PM: See its really hard to tell...because you have nothing to compare those perch to. If you were to ask me i would say that the biggest perch there is only 10.5 And not even 3/4 a pound. Im not saying that its not as big as you claim but without a comparison then hard to judge a Perch in a picture with just other perch. Next time throw in a hand or a ruler so we can get a idea of Perch size. Thanks and nice PErch though...any Perch is a nice PErch...

Post by: kingfshr16 on Feb 25, 2004, 08:44 PM: Germ, the other perch behind it are atleast 10's, but i no wut ur saying.
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: Germ on Feb 26, 2004, 05:55 PM: No that is a hunker perch...see how just comparing it to the kid brings that fish even more larger to life? Your load of fish though that you caught were nice sorry if it seemed i was tkaing away from your catch i didnt mean too its a nice load for sure..Tight lines!
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: kingfshr16 on Feb 27, 2004, 03:03 PM: No Germ, i know what you were saying. Sorry if it seemed like that, but isnt it funny how a big smile and a person make a fish seem so much bigger, mabe its just the satisfaction of them perchies lol gotta love 'em.
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: Germ on Feb 27, 2004, 05:59 PM: Well i think i would have a big smile alos if i had that on the end of my line lol....Got 6 today out on the ice while my friend who usually does poor caught 20...Dont know what i was doing wrong..oh well ...LOL Tight lines!

Post by: BASSandICE65 on Feb 28, 2004, 04:16 PM: Dam now thats a perch :o. Wish we had them that big in Mass. the big ones get a little over a pound catch more dinks than anything though they get to the bait quicker. Dam greedy buggers :'(

I was having trouble catching lots of small perch,and one of my fishing buddies suggested using larger shiners,IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.I found out a lot of people do that with sucess.On our lake the 8-9 inchers spew up inch long gills,thats a big meal for a small fish.So it only makes sense that the 12-14 inchers can easily handle bigger than that.Most people here use the fatheads for crappies,but it's med.shiners for the slobs!
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: Germ on Mar 02, 2004, 07:07 AM: Well i guess its the old saying if ya want to catch big fish use big bait...Never hurts to try something differnt that is for sure...Tight lines all.
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: firsticerules on Mar 02, 2004, 07:56 PM: i wonder what bait that kid was using
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: Germ on Mar 03, 2004, 07:01 AM: Not quite sure but my guess would be minnows...Only becasue i deduced that MOSt kids and i stress most....Don't have the patience to sit and jig...They usually will sit with a Minnow on the ice then play around in the snow or bug other people in their huts close by...LOL so anyhow this is just my guess but i'll try to look into the actual info for ya. Tight lines!

Post by: peple of the perch on Mar 03, 2004, 04:06 PM: im a kid andi can fish with a jig in a puddle of water all day long.lol

Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: Germ on Mar 15, 2004, 04:41 PM: Ya its nice to see the brillent color of those perch..How many FOW were you fishing them in? ALso nice to see the measure beside them gives them more size Definition .
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: Bob_D on Mar 18, 2004, 11:59 AM: I was fishing about 12-15' deep. It was the low side of a drop off where I set up for walleye. I was using emeralds, so I would get a few perch too. All the perch were on tip-ups, since it was busy enough that I did not have time to jig much. Other then spawning time, I tend to find my big perch in deeper water.
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: Germ on Mar 22, 2004, 06:37 AM: Ya deeper is Bigger as a rule of thumb but on SImcoe Here sometimes it Realy Doesnt matter...Catch Jumbos where ever the fish are hitting....Ususaly though its like 1-15 odds for Jumbo or better on the nice days...Oh well they all taste good!

Post by: Iceshanty on Sep 16, 2004, 09:05 PM: One of the best ice fishermen I know, Stauch Funk caught these Gogebic Lake one morning in the U.P. Michigan
Most he ever caught in one outing.
Biggest one is little over 15" he said these were small ones! :o

Post by: richstick on Sep 17, 2004, 08:56 AM: RG - those pics are making my mouth water!

Those Gogebic perch are pretty typical for that lake. Last year was a bust up there though. Tough access, and tough fishing.

Post by: Bean on Sep 17, 2004, 09:00 AM: RG,
You're a perch hog! ;D ;D ;)
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: Mr.Seaguar on Sep 17, 2004, 04:16 PM: See the difference between the ones Rg posted and the Gogebic fish? I fish some lakes where the fish look fat like Gogebic and some where they are long and thin like Rg`s. I wonder if its the forage bases or population numbers or what.
Title: Re: Lets see some perch
Post by: rgfixit on Sep 17, 2004, 07:26 PM: Those are L. Ontario perch..Irondequoit Bay to be exact... We have hogs like those 15"ers in the finger lakes of NY. Keuka and Canandaigua give up the most for me.

They're rod busters.

WOW. Gander Mountain had one set up in the minnow tank and when Jeremy saw it he went nuts.
The first thing he said was "This would be cool for ice fishing dad!". I've been wanting one for a while now, that just sealed the deal. Maybe if I buy one I'll get my graph back.
