We were fishing 20 ft. It was awesome to hook such a fish. Jumbo perch are awesome. You can bet our next time out we will try everything to hook another. Thank you for the advice. It's greatly appreciated.
Today was my and my buddies first day on the ice. We both are about 5 seasons into hardwater fishing. Through trial and error, self educating, and of course helpful advice from other ice anglers, we have managed to hook into an abudance of different species Vermont has to offer. Today on a new body of ice we've never fished we were targeting perch and pike. While we landed no pike we managed a solid amount of perch. While most ranged in the 10-12 inch range caught on perch bait tip ups and bibbets topped with eyeballs, we did land an awesome and personal best 2 pound yellow perch on a pike bait tip up. My question is is there any particular methods or lures best for attracting these big perch?
2 lb perch?We would like to see a picture of it.You must have took one if it was 2 lbs.
This baby wasn't measured for length but was weighed. It came in at 1-10 for reference fish was released and it ate a 5" shiner! (Image removed from quote.)
