I was 6 or 7. My uncle took us to Conesus Lake, South end. We filled a 5 gallon bucket with nice perch ( 10 to 12 inches). he told me never to keep them under 10 inches so that there will always be a crop for next year. Well, its been 30 yrs. now and when I catch a 10 incher. It is considered a jack on that lake now. How I miss the good old days.
