White Perch predators

[tdinges]

Found out that shad aren't the only thing that big walleye feed on at El Dorado this weekend. We had this ~4" white perch floating in our livewell after putting a nice 23" eye in it.

Don't see the strips wouldnt doubt they are making there way around.

Nice going!
Had the same thing happen to me before. Just shows that they will eat big crankbaits and fishing with a worms is like just feeding them a small snack. Sometimes they are only in the mood for one or the other.

What's wild is when a 4" perch hits a 3" crankbait. We did catch another 18" walleye with a smaller fish (2 or 3") hanging out of it's mouth. Not sure what it was as it was pretty eaten up (either a smaller perch or last years shad)...and wanted to get it back to grow a few inches for next year.
