    Any perch over 12 inches is giant. I can't imagine 15 inchers. Beautiful fish

    Thanks Eric! You got my fishing blood going. Perching on southern L. Mi. is where I am when the big lake looks like that. You should have shared a screen shot on Di / Si /sonar for those viewers who have not made the leap to live/active imaging. Finding the schools of roaming bandits is the key. Spotting a pack of boats is just the beginning of a successful trip. Second, with minnows on a perch rig give it 5-10 seconds after the first bite to double up those jumbos. Nice work on the blades. Another great video thanks.

    Thanks so much for the awesome like always video!!! My PB perch is a 14.5” hawg out of south eastern basin of the big lake! They’ve always been one of my top 3 favorites to eat!! Now the perch have been slowing down a bit but hopefully the thermoclines will kick back up and get some warmer air!! Appreciate your help with all the videos. It’s always a learning process.. Cheers 🍻

    I have a friend who fishes every day on Lake Monona and only keeps fifteen inch perch and gets enough to eat a few a day. He throws anything smaller back. He has been doing this for more than twenty years.

    Hi Eric, It may have been about 10 years ago but I recall you and one of your buds were fishing in Milwaukee Harbor in the fall (winter?) using spawn and crankbaits. Moored sailboats stick in my mind and flicker shads were featured as I recall. In that piece you showed a way you customized your crankbaits with orange, pink, etc. markers. Do you know if those were any special kind of marker and if so, what kind. Or if you can direct me to that episode that would be great too. I searched vigorously but couldn't find the episode. Thanks for the informative videos!

    Fish long enough, it’ll happen.

      Perch spawn is much later. Those pigs need to be dinner for you or else they will be dead and dinner for cormorants.

  • @johncerk2618

    Perch fishing should be closed during spawning on Lake Michigan. Perch population is still nowhere where it should be.
