I would say Oneida, but my friends sister in-law got 1 off Big Sodus the other day 15 3/4". But the perch from Oneida taste way better, at least better than Lake Ontario and river run perch.

I agree that Ontario isnt the best water to eat fish from. The Factories and nucluear plant all DUMP yons of waste into that lake and people say they wouldnt do that but they do. thats why th DEC says to only eat a certain amount of fish every month from that body of water.

I would have to argue, Lake Ontario perch, or any fish taste better than Onieda lakes'.

I don't think there is any question that Seneca Lake has the largest perch on average. The winner of the perch derby there is always well over 2 pounds.

seneca is the lake.
you'll never ice fish there.
i would eat a fish from there before i would oneida or ontario.
this time of year is very good perch fishing, if you don't mind cold, wind and 4' waves.
i once weighed the filets from a limit of 50 decent sized perch , not all hogs,from there,
and i had just under 9 lbs. of filets.

it's a tough nut to crack, you'll have to pay your dues to learn how to really get into them.
the bait shops will point you in the right direction, but the guys who really know play their cards close to the vest.

you are exactly right Sparky, Seneca beats any lake by a mile with slobs
one outing we had 6 fish @ 2lbs  one is on my wall  almost 16 inches
they fight like small mouths, lake turns nasty quick, need to really watch the weather, Blown off and wet many times..

true that...the biggest perch i have ever caught came out of skaneatles (sp?) 17.5".  The finger lakes do have some monsters

If you are talkin open water also, Seneca lake has no equal!!!!The other places cant hold a candle to it. not even sodus bay or other ontario tribs. SENECA LAKE. I dont know much about many things  but i am right about this. My buddy has caught 2 and 1/2 pound fish in the april derby that did not even place. SLOBS> Dont argue ;D
friends dont let friends fish dead holes.

Skaneateles Lake has my vote on Slob Perch ;D
It is too bad we won't be ice fishing there now for the third year in a row :'(
I have got numbers of Perch up to 16 1/4 inches with limits of 14 plus inchers only.
Sure Seneca has Massive Perch...but you will not be drilling holes to catch them.
Last I knew...this was an Ice Fishing Site...so Seneca does not count :whistle:

i agree we fish for salmon out of Ontario and I've haven't found a salmon that tastes better

Great Lakes salmon taste like dirt compared to west coast ocean run salmon.

As far as perch the Finger Lakes hold some giants, and you can't beat the water quality.  Good water quality = good tasting fish!

here i am a PA guy, and only been on Seneca once, but man was it impressive... my buddies dad caught just under two buckets of perch and the smallest was 10 with an average probably over 12... and some pushin 16 plus.  He wasnt at it very long either...  Definitely want to get back there.

Canandaigua has always been good for me. Tough to get good enough ice to fish hard water though.
