Perch in the UK

[Dutchy]

So Splashhopper and I have been doing some perch fishing and I was talking about how all the trout waters in Scotland are full of perch. However, over there they are a not seen as a prized fish and nobody really eats them. In fact if anything they are detrimental to the trout waters as they eat all the young trout.

Anyways, I was saying that the perch over there get alot bigger than here in Canada and it got me searching on the internet and I found some images. Thought it may interest some, current British record is 5lb 12oz:

 

 

Overall they do get alot bigger than the fish over here:

 

 

Anyhoo, thought it might interest some people.

There may be one as big as the second pic somewhere in Ontario.
