OK, I don't know much about perch. BUT, that is a dink from what i have experienced and from what my neighbor ( a perch expert) have caught. I don't fish for them cause their all dinks and i fish walleyes and crappies, EXCEPT last spring i actually went perch fishing and caught a few ( 19) between 1 and 2 lbs. I have seen 2' 14'' s and 2'15''s over the years from my ''expert'' neighbor and they are hugh slobs. Matter of fact when i went out that day in March the tackle shop owner had a ''hugh'' perch in the tank that was only 2&1/2 pounder.
Michael Jacksons nose looks fake too.
