The perch just crossed the 13.5" mark...damn! If it would have went 14" I'd be getting it mounted for sure, but at 13.5" I just dunno. Still, it's the biggest perch I've ever caught.

Oh yeah, it got put in the tank right quick! :lol:

I'm on my way to the grocery store today & I'll get it weighed, but the inches usually accurately correlate w/ the weight. That half-inch I'm short prob will mean it comes in under the 1#13z mark.

Either way it will taste good, or look good on the wall (& not set me back too much;))

We must have missed each other by a few minutes, tho I did see a boat i wondered if it may be you, never looked, the wind was still heavy when I left, faught it all day tryin to find places to fish that were protected!
I hammered Smallies all afternoon, at least 4 over 20" and 2 that were in the 21+ class, my best 5 rough guess prolly 17+lb. bag tho I did have a 19" largie too and I dont care what anyone says, theres alot of Hammer Handle pike in CROTON, I smashed 10 of them yesterday, and finnaly 1 of them took my Lipless! Bastards! lol

Great fish, Brandon! So this time you were fishing for bass and got ... bass. :fish: And a monster perch as a bonus. Well, all right!

I take it from bassdisaster's post that was Croton?

If you want a mount, why not eat it and get a replica? I've heard the cost of a replica is about the same as a skin mount...

I like your style.. With Perch or another panfish anyway. Too good to pass up eating those right out of the water. A pike or Bass would be another story.

Nice fish by the way!
