This is the one that CANNOT be right

 

Perch, yellow 4-3 Bordentown, NJ May, 1865 Dr. C.C. Abbot

 

 

If I am right there has only been a handful above 3 let alone 4 and they have all been from the Great Lakes.

 

This one I have always felt smelled "fishy"

 

Oh and Walleye has been DQ'ed and now is 22.9 from Greers Ferry Arkansa
