17 1/2" perch? 🤣🤣🤣🤣Cant even get 14's. LolHow was the size of crappie on bass? Sounds like a fun time. Hope that lake comes back around, sooner than later of course.
I hear ya, something that big needs to have a tape next to it. Probably had a 14 next to a bunch of 9 and took a guess imho. lol
Used to have no problem catching 14-16 1/2" perch on the weed beds in the summer on the big lake.Them days have vanished, hope it comes back some day. But 17 1/2", man...
Guy I know does have a 17 3/4 inch perch on the wall, but, it is skinny.
Have you actually seen this fish or did you take his word for it? How about a picture with a tape next to it?
I did also hear a 17 1/2 perch was caught from Michigan City LAST SATURDAY.? NO PICS??
Guy on MC pier said he had a 16 inch perch a couple weeks ago to our creel clerk. It was 10 3/4 when tapedDon't believe anything you hear unless it's backed up by a picture, and even then be skeptical until it's on a bump board when you are talking about truly incredible sized fishI'd definitely believe a 16 out of Lake Michigan, but would be skeptical of anything bigger without concrete evidence. Not that it's impossible, just improbable
