I genuinely interested in seeing what makes so many of these grow so big there.

Actually, Alberta used to have an absolute perch factory in Missiswawi Lake by Lac La Biche. Big perch were very common. Big as in 16 inch. The secret was the fresh water shrimp. Fishing pressure was high and limits were 30 per person.
The lake level dropped about 10 feet for various reasons and the lake winter killed.
No idea if it could be rehabilitated with a weir to hold the water or restoration of natural drainage and restocking, as the water levels have returned to a number of lakes in the LLB area.
