Found her floating this morning. Probably One of the biggest I’ve ever seen.

Old age?


Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.

There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

JeffA;
Top of the morning to you sir, I trust all is as well as can be with you and yours.

My goodness that's a smoker of a perch!!!

I'm going to have to admit I didn't know they could get that big. cool

They surely don't get that big in our area sir.

I've got to say too that yellow perch are my favorite fresh water fish for eating by a fairly large margin. That's a good meal in the making right there!

Thanks again and stay well.

Dwayne

He's in Montana and they typically don't get that big there either.
He is on a mission to break the state record which is 2.39 lbs before he turns 11.

Told me he was just a few ounces under with this one.
His father has held the Montana state record since 2006, he's tryin' to knock him outta the saddle.

In a pond, probably oxygen depletion from surface layer warming faster than lower water resulting in stratified water layers and low levels of dissolved oxygen. It's common in the spring.

Isn't the gill area usually redder than normal when they suffocate?

The Saginaw Bay our Walleye fishery is quite awesome but some time in about August someone catches a few perch and the walleye gear is thrown out of the boat

I know perch are awesome eating but never understand the hard turn

unless guys just have enough Walleye and its something different
\
Those are some awesome perch pictured

I didn't know fish that died of natural causes (old age) floated? Maybe in colder water they do?
