huntervasili Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Great report Mike... Glad to see ya didn't drive all the way there for nothing... looks like you caught a bunch of fish and had a great fry after too... I caught a couple of those white bass or perch when I was out for walleye this past weekend too... they are full of eggs or at least the ones I saw were... thanks for sharing the report with us Bill Edited May 23, 2007 by Bill Parker
tjsa Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 NICE MIKE, what else is there to say, other than FANTASTIC report.
Roy Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 I still say that that's a white bass. Probably interbred with a white perch (which is also a bass).
Greencoachdog Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 I still say that that's a white bass. Probably interbred with a white perch (which is also a bass). White Bass and White perch are both Temperate Bass, White Perch however occur in waters with a higher saline content. White Bass cannot tolerate high saline levels. Since Mikes fish was caught in a "Fresh" water body, it is a White Bass.
Daplumma Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 White bass,white perch..looks good to me,rolled in corn meal and fried up crisp!Great report. Joe
fishdawg Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Tonys right its a white perch for sure - just as tasty as a yellow though nice outing guys - gotta love Quinte - one of my fave spots to wet a line for sure
Clampet Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Grrrreat Report. Nice Fish, nice boat. Nice weather, good friends. Great looking food. Good stuff, like the fact you got some nice table fare Walleye!
007 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Mike the Pike - Great report. Thanks for sharing so many photos. Tony B - out of interest where did you get the info/drawings of the fish species? - I'm always looking for good sources of info for the different fish species in Ontario. Cheers 007
BLACKFISH88 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Great report and who is the guy in the black and red coat with the sunglasses I believe his mother is in the nursing home that I work in her name is Jean Andrews. Pretty sure he was in to the home the other day too. Cheers.
postman Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Great report. I thought the mystery fish was a white bass. The white perch from kansas don't get that big. If you remembered when cleaning the fish, white bass tend to have the red meat and white perch is more like crappie or walleye having white meat. Thanks for sharing!
Tomcat Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Great report and pictures - made me feel like I was on the trip too. Thanks for sharing. One question - would you mind providing some details about your boat and motors please. Nice looking rig!

Pretty sure he was in to the home the other day too. Cheers. Blackfish the guy your talking about his name is James he came fishing with us for the day he was staying in Belleville and his mom is in a nursing home.James came to visit us on his motorcycle did you see him with a helmut? Small world.Mike the Pike

No the fish(white bass) went back into the big Pond I just like the taste of perch and Walleye.

One question - would you mind providing some details about your boat and motors please. Nice looking rig! Tom my boat is a Lund SSV 18.5ft long with a 50hp Honda 4 stroke with power trim and flat floor inserts my kicker motor is a 2 stroke Yamaha 8hp I connect both motors with a steering bar when trolling ,I troll with the 8hp and steer with the 50hp.It is a very stable boat. Coming back from Hay Bay on the weekend there were 3 foot swells I had it going full throttler trimmed up and over the waves she rides like a cadillac.I like my big tinny.
tonyb Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 You guys are funny, fish species identification has nothing to do with saltwater vs freshwater (That's like saying there are no sharks in freshwater!!!) or colour of flesh (which is actually determined by the fish's diet). Sharks in freshwater... http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...bullsharks.html Tony
ehg Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Awesome report Mike the Pike! Like the boat pics as well as the fish pictures. That Ungava is a cool lil' boat. By the way i've caught hundreds of White Bass, which that fish isn't! It is a White Perch as TonyB points out. Has no stripes, a greenish hue and perch like face. A rarish sight here. Great report, ehg
Guest Johnny Bass Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Excellant report and thanks for sharing the pictures and taking the time to post them all! I really enjoyed it!!
Handlebarz Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 nice report love the pics I also saw some great gas prices what a fing joke one place was 107 on Friday am and went to 115 later the same day how is that not jacking the price????????
Smokey Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Great looking fish. Congrats on a successful weekend. Maybe a heads up to your friend Glenn. It is against the law to tow more than one trailer behind your vehicle unless using a commercial vehicle. A quote form the Ontario MTO site. I'm not sure if his van is commercial or not so just mentioning it cause I actually saw him on the road and couldn't belive it as you barely ever see it in Ontario. Some provinces and states do allow it. Edited May 25, 2007 by Smokey

Thanks for the concern Smokey Glenn did his ontario Homework though if you have commercial plates in Ontario it is Legal.I have seen many fifth wheel trailers with boats behind them in Ontario.Remember Glenn had Quebec plates so were not sure the law would apply to us .The law in Quebec is a limit of 63ft long.But really that boat adds little weight to his maximum tow. Thanks for the heads up .Mike
irishfield Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 GREAT report Mike! and what Smokey said. First trailer has to be a 5th wheel. Can't be tongue to tongue.
hydro Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Hey those are some nice 'eyes! Great job....that is a Northern not a hybrid. I agree its a white perch - there are no lines running the lentgh of the body. Nice fish! Edited May 25, 2007 by hydro
