Those things are so fun to catch - good eating too.  Some of my fondest memories growing up were late-ice (Feb/March) perch fishing in MN.  Nice Fish!

I was on a bus and just happened to be sitting on a news paper. This guy came up and asked. "Are you reading that ?"
I said  yes, stood up, turned the page and sat back down.

Wow, I did not know there were perch in Pool 9 and certainly wouldn't think they would be that large.  Impressive catch.

My best perch is year was only 12.5" it's a lot smaller than the ones I caught last year 14" on perch an 1-1/2" is a lot of weight difference but I did manage 11 perch on Sunday

Sunday I fished a lake that generally has nice perch and got skunked on perch but scored a limit of 11-12" crappies . Sunday the fishing was weird because generally there's a lot of smaller crappies mixed in with the bigger ones but only threw back 3 9-10" crappies all day
