Ya, i figured your buddy caught it last yr. I never fish perch in deep water, always surprised when i hear guys saying they caught perch in 30 ft. Depending on year, but 90% of my perch fishing is 3-9 ft

It depends on the lake for me. Sometimes i fish deeper water if the lake only has a couple drop offs etc....usually the perch will be there unless it gets close to spawning time. It really depends on the lake.

a good mount for your perch would be it with his mouth open chasing down a hammer handle! i would love to see that.....

Looks a lot like a lake i wash fishing the day after boxing day.The vehicle in the background (if its the lake im thinking of) is fishing on a good spot. We also had to chase the perch in the shallows in 1 to 3 ft of water.

This is how i did. No 14 inchers but i can't complain.

Mentioned this in another thread.

Go and get 2 or 3 10-12"ers and get a nice driftwood scene made up with a bunch of them showcasing your monster.

Default Secret spot
Whats the big deal about anyone knowing the "secret " lake you are fishing! Heaven forbid someone else knows and takes all the perch out of this lake!Maybe someone that would love to take their kids there;oh wait you have it all to yourself!

Are we going to start this again? If he wants to keep the lake quiet, all the more power to him. If you catch huge perch like that and want to tell everyone where to go, then all the more power to you. Let's just be happy that someone had good success and leave it at that.

That fish is beside a 60 pounder, not a 40 pounder haha. I'm gonna chill this week since it's cold out, then when it warms up i will go slay somemore fish. This cold weather came at the perfect time... The wife is getting a little anoid... I have fished 14 of the last 25 days and have travelled thousands of kilometers...i go back to work february 6th so i gotta get a few more trips in before i go back.
