New Ontario Record Yellow Perch

[David Chong]

When I asked about members' fishing bucket list, the number of times that a 15+ inch perch was mention reminded of this awesome fish that a friend told me about! Congrats Joseph Ryan Schaus! BTW the fish had a 13" girth!

Like the one from Ohio, it appears to be ready to drop a pound of eggs?

[BlueEye]

I didn’t believe big perch could come from simcoe until about 2 years ago when a friend of mine landed an absolute monster.

This was 15” but didn’t have nearly the girth of that record

A real monster fish should be in it,s natural state. Meaning, not full of eggs,or feeding up on minnows, gobies and getting weighted up. I want to see a natural fish.

It like seeing a 110 lb lady with a 8 pound baby in side her.

wow that is a massive perch!

A couple of perch pics to share. Never saw anything that fat from Simcoe last winter. 45 one day were typical of the set below. Over 5lbs of perch fillets, so many were 12-13". One guy showed us a 15" size perch, but never weighed it.
