nice fish reubenpa!
about that 17 incher i belive perch can get that big but it would be best to have a pic back it up.

Wheres the pic?

no picture, always seem to forget the camera when i need it the most i had it weighed and measured at bay bridge bait shop in north rose on sodus bay plus my family saw the fish i was quite proud of it got some real nice fillets off of the fish i would have stuffed it but its not my first 17 incher butit is my heaviest thanks

[firstice_rules]

well give me all the measurements so i can at least visualise it.

all we did when we measured it in the bait shop was from tip of the mouth to tip of the tail with a flexable tape and weighed it on a digital rapala scale

great fish and keep them coming.

Here are a couple fatties from last November.  For perspective the walleyes have to be 15" to keep.

take the biggest perch on your stringer of fish and add about 3 to 4inches and youll have the perch i caught, i do remember that the egg sac in the perch was as big as some perch most people keep, by the way thats a really nice stringer of perch and walleyes that you have in the picture  ,a good day of fishing by anyones standards good luck to you

their has been a few more fish that i should have taken pictures of, now after the fact i cant understand why i didnt, the only thing good about it is everytime i have caught something worth while i have had a friend or relative with me to see  it,  better than nothing i guess,i have a 10 year old son whos caught some quality fish and i always make sure to take pictures of his fish i need to start with myself from now on,   have a good one
