Willard 10-29-21 WITH VIDEO

[TubeDude]

Very nice report and fish.  Thanks for sharing.  As I said in WH's post, those perch are chunky.

Thanks.  And congrats on your tiger from Newton.  Looks about the same size as the 30 incher I got at Pineview last week.  But just a suggestion.  You don't have to let the adversary draw blood just to even things up.

Chunky?  Yep.  The shad in Willard make good perch chow.  And this year, with the extended shad spawn, there are still  lots of small perch-edible shad in the water...now dying from a combination of cold water and inability to feed on anything except the disappearing zooplankton.  The last segment of my video shows a 2" shad making its last wiggles next to shore.  There are thousands that size dying off and feeding the predators.  The perch were very thick and full of them.  And the cats were not only full of shadlets but their body cavities were full of "visceral fat".  They been eating well.
