Those first fish were white perch, but that last one was a white bass. You can tell by all the stripes and different head shape.  ;)

We have white perch in Erie, but I've never got one big enough to keep. I've heard they're decent table fare.

They were all white perch ! White bass are silvery,steel blue color. where perch are dull . I was with him when he caught them and it was definetly a perch.

nice white bass! i bet that fought well through ice.  has a bass mouth which is different from earlier pics and has the dark horizontal lines which earlier pics don't have.  that would be a really nice white perch however.  either way nice catch .

A lot of people in NY call white perch "silver bass".   :cookoo:  Although they're more closely related to the bass family...but called a perch.  We call them tasty little _______.  I'll eat them anytime of the year.

They are defintly white pearch and its not to often that you catch more the 1 or 2. They are great tasting in a beer batter. They flack apart and melt in your mouth. Great catch.
