Fish Ohio Yellow Perch

Friday, 18SE15. Strange day on the lake. Two fronts moved thru but never got a drop of rain, despite a mass of green on weather radar. Ended up with 58 Coontails (never heard them called this before until we took them in to the PC Fish market for cleaning). 12 lbs, not including Perch-zilla. 2 miles out of the Portage River from PC on the Rock pile. Small Emerald Shiners.Attachment 3411Attachment 3412 Best part of the day was my buddy Dizz catching this 14 1/2 inch, 1 1/2 lb. hog. BTW, the state record is 14 1/2 inches weighing 2 lbs, 12 ounces.

Nice fish!

That is a nice Perch!!! I don't know which is more impressive the Perch or the Smile on your face. Nice catch.

In the works! :)

i go to vermillion a couple times a year the fish are a little bigger but how about ashtabula they have a head boat a bunch of me and my friends could charter we go out on sassy sal they go to vermillion after labor day 20 25 people

I no Conneaut has a head boat called pcqueen you can google it they have website. also eyehunter has boat in Ashtabula you might want to give him a call if you don't want to deal with 20 or 30 people' the perch are on fire up there lots of 10 to 14 inchers

I go a lake in Maryland that you regularly catch perch that size and up. Here are a days catch 2 years ago that 5 of us pulled off the ice. The first link is the one bluegill that was close to 11". We pull 12's often. The perch Are huge there. As for the pickerel that is a buddy of mine that keeps them I would never placed close to the perch.
