Caught this almost 11 3/4" perch at a lake that's not all that far from Edmonton on Saturday. After talking with a few friends and their parents, I am starting to believe that this was quite a remarkable catch.:sHa_shakeshout: For the pics or it didn't happen crowd here you go, & NO I am not revealing where it was caught.

Nice perch we were trolling crank baits out at another lake the other day and hooked into a few that had the length but didn't look no where near that thick.

Nice perch, I guess Nakamun didn't completely winterkill.

Yes, Nakamun still has fish. I know a few people that go regularly. But They have yet to see one this size. Love the guessing game.(Still not saying)The lake is not known for its perch or really even its fishing, more of a water sports lake.

Are these people catching perch at Nakamun this summer? I was talking with a F&W officer yesterday and they are monitoring the lake because they are aware a serous kill occurred. Sure hope some lived.

Yes still some perch there but not in numbers from previous years.Fragile system.

Nakamun has produced larger perch than 11.5 inches this past winter. Your fish is nice, but personally I don't consider perch "jumbo" until they exceeed 12. But that's just my opinion. Wizard lake is indeed a nice water sports lake, if you go to the far west end and fish along the reeds there are plenty of large perch.

I don't know the last time you saw a large perch from wizard but personally it has been a long time for me.
I fish there in the winter with the kids for small pike....catch 50-60 little ones before you find a keeper. Hardly see any perch worth targeting on the cams.

I usually target only the pike... I have seen bigger perch in Coal on the cams than I have ever seen in Wizard...guess I might have to switch it up.

Hey guys and gals I'm just looking for a good place to take my wife fishing for perch I really have not fished for perch in like ten or more years we are around spruce grove

Good to know it is not dead. The F&W officer told me they have been stocking this lake back to the 30's and kills are common. He said it was the agricultural and recreational runoff into the lake cause big algae blooms in summer and when that decays in winter it sucks the oxygen out. Hope I've paraphrased him correctly.

About an hour and half at the most from Edmonton there are perch 14-17 inches big, you can see them everywhere just got to get them to stay on the hook when they bite :) then you have a record perch

Really? You started this thread with a comment '" I'm not going to tell anyone where this is" and also took a shot at the "pics or it didn't happen" crowd... Now you say the same thing? That's a nice perch, but definitely not a "JUMBO".
Northern Yaker

I'm a pic or it didn't happen kind of guy. Don't know where I took a shot at myself. With these claims Of larger perch in Alberta, I really want to see. I've talked to enough anglers this week to know this is a rare catch here. Might not be jumbo to some.
deercrazy!
07-14-2013, 10:34 PM
Ok here's 1. BUD!! I didn't say it was a bad fish I am sure it tasted great just sayin that that size perch can be caught way more often than you apparently know, LOL my 7yr old son will limit out on 9-12"ers from the dock by noon on any given day
Maybe all those anglers you have been talkin to just didn't want to hurt your feelings
