Perch
I only fish for perch when the frost comes , never keep anything under 9" , I heard the rule of thumb east of Huron is 10" fish. I fish primarily in the Marblehead area good luck butch

Whats a keeper
I don't like keeping small perch, but if it is hooked deep and looks as if it going to die I will keep it as one of my count. It is still bigger than pop corn shrimp and I eat them. Just my thoughts, enjoy the season.

keepers
to me 9-10 inch perch are keepers all day long. have to agree with ridge runner though, deeply hooked fish should be kept and counted against limit instead of throwing back a fish that will certainly die and become food of those flying rats. (ie seagulls) fish under 9 inches should be put back if they are healthy. just my opinion

I have heard you should never throw a perch back no matter how small. I was told that if you throw any perch back it will die because they are unable to get their air bladder back down.
