    Default Unusual Catch on Barkley


    My wife caught this Yellow Perch today. I did not realize the records were so small weight wise. Close to the record for sure a pound, I did not weigh it. Dah!!!!

    I catch 2 or 3 per year ... I always throw them back ... (after they've squirted all over my boat) ...

    I sure wish they would proliferate here on our lakes ...

    I hope so, After living out on Barkley for a few year, at least in my area, I have seen some changes in the species being caught. Seems like the smallmouth has increased were I fish.

    Cool I'll make ya famous ....

    Current State Record Yellow Perch came from KY Lake ... Mar 2010 ... at 1lb 6.4oz (according to 2012 Fishing/Boating Guide) No measurements available.

    That fish surpassed the previous State Record of 1lb 4oz ... Nov 2004 ... and this fish was 13.5" long with a girth of 9.5"

    WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING .... get those fish officially weighed and certified and get your name in the record books !!!

    ... cp

    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.:rolleyes:
