I hear it was caught at Devils lake, someplace in the states. I wish I could clame the fame on this one, but a nice pic of a nice perch.

Only saying what was on the website. if you open it and click on the perch it says this:
Perch (Perca flavescens)
Common Baits and Technique
Yellow perch or, perch are a popular panfish and are considered to be very good to eat; the commercial catch for them has always been in high demand. They can be caught with a variety of methods, but the two best methods are perhaps float fishing and lure fishing. The best way is to use a small hook and cast into the weeds just before the drop off. They are a favorite among ice fisherman. Perch take a variety of baits, including minnows, worms, maggots, bread and softshell crayfish. Perch grow to around 5 lb or more, but the most common fish to be caught are around 1 lb or less, and anything over 2 lb is considered a prize catch. The record perch is 6lb, beating the previous one by 1 oz.

Six pounds is crazy it's actually unbelievable I'd need to seen pics to belive anything like that ...... Sounds like some devils lake propaganda to me. 6 lbs is a really nice walleye let alone a perch!!
