Perch

My brother just sent me this picture. I have been so so so excited to see perch in a bucket again. Its been almost 12 years and the perch were pretty much extinct in the river that ran through my parents backyard. When I was 14 yrs old, the perch population was insanely crazy in my parents backyard. People used to line up the entire 2 mile stretch from where the river and lake meet just to fish for perch. I remember waking up almost every morning just to fish the entire day.
