Can anyone post a pic of A 16-inch perch next to a tape measure?
Don't believe everything you hear Al til you see it first hand...I call BS on 2, 16 inchers caught especially from the same boat...never has this ever happened in Indiana waters on Lake Michigan...But glad you got out, caught a few, and enjoyed your day.
I am only referring to Indiana waters of Lake Michigan and don't know much about perch in the rest of the state. But I can only recall myself ever hearing about 1 single 16 inch fish caught in 2010 by a gentleman by the name of Steve Fiorio from Dyer, Indiana. It measured 16 5/8... the fish was mentioned in the outdoor notebook, Chicago Sun Times, and was Indianas fish of the year...there were pics of the guy holding the fish but never seen one next to a tape or a bump board either...now I've caught lots and lots of legitimate 14s but I have only hit that 15inch mark once in my life on the big lake...I'm not saying a 16 doesn't exist, but.......
