Yellow Perch
My girlfriend's parents live on a private lake. It's loaded with every species of fish, most of them big. I've never seen so many big yellow perch in my life. Her brother and I were out in the canoe today fishing shiners and artificials and we were bailing them (and some nice bass).
Has anyone ever targeted BIG yellow perch? Just wondering what you've found works for the trophies. They seem to love dead shiners. We were joking around and wanted to see what the state record is because we want to break it. The record is only 2lbs, 12oz. I know that's a huge perch, but we think we could beat that in this lake if we put in some serious effort. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On another note, saw a monster bass smash a small perch we released. I know bass eat them, but it was an awesome sight to see. Will definitely keep that in the old brain bank for the future.
Also, I've been trying to get a good good fish on top early in the season so before we went in I threw on a small yellow perch patterned popper and got slammed by a fish after the second pop in some warm water, but of course I dropped it. Would've loved to have seen that fish as it would've been my first fish on top this season.
Thanks for reading these ramblings. Any help catching monster yellow perch would be appreciated. Let the ridiculing begin...
