Real nice perch, Jim.It's amazing how the color changes on those perch from the big water of Lake Michigan to an inland lake.They still have that nice yellow belly on them even the Bigg uns like in the pic here.I only wish the great perch fishing here lasted longer than a month and a half. I will have to get some kind of soft tape measure so I can take measurements on some of the beasts I catch out of Lake Michigan I never really check the girth.I only wonder what the girth was on my recent 14" looks fatter than this one but pics are deceiving and this guy is a full 1 and 3/4 longer. Haven't bought an In-Fisherman in a while.Will have to get another copy.

that's funny i was just about to criticize you for calling a peacock than i saw the head. i have only caught two perch while trout fishing in Colorado and one was albino, and yes it was a perch we had a game warden look at it.
