I remember as a kid, (many years ago) fishing Flagstaff in the summer and catching some huge yellow's.
I'd love to see one of our youth fisherman set a new record!!

if someone put some time at long , cross or square lake with some big bait , i think they could easily break that y. perch record.

You're making me want to go up there just for a striper! Holy cow, what does a 16"er weigh?

Wow, I love jigging for perch, to think there are “destination” perch lakes here in Maine. Also, I just noticed the pumpkinseed was beat and updated this past few months. I hate to point it out, but there’s no record for other sunfish species like redbreast, or the invasive bluegills, green, and warmouth sunfish. I do wish they gave length of fish on that list.

you want big y. perch, hit the weeedlines outsize of the coves in march. you'll have the lake to yourself and some big yellows! big bait = big fish! i can get 200 fish mornings at my shack on long early season, when theyre deep. get some monsters after sun up!
