you can say anything you want, but i've been fishing the lake since 1963, have caught a lot more fish then you will ever catch, eaeach captain has his own size limit, on drawbrige its 7.5 and larger, on other captains it 8.5 and larger, on our person boat it 9 inch or larger for perch and 18 inches or larger
for walleyes, and we have no problem filling our freezer with our standards,
you just have to fish a little harder, and spend a little more on gas were the bigger ones live, any time you want to find out were real fish live let me know, and far as clean station goes, 5 perch per lb is avg, 2 fish per lb. are
10 to 12 inch fish, I KNOW I won a perch tour last year, 10 perch 9.25 lbs
and the fish were 11 to 13 inch on cert. scale. all caught in the western basin
behined west sister, 100 perch that day wiegh 47lbs.
