[#0000ff]There is also the well known phenomenon of ice shrinkage.
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]1. Yeah, I hate that ice shrinkage thing. I've known perch to shrink 2 to 3 inches, easy.
2. We used to catch some pretty big perches at Yuba years ago, and they were called Jurassic perch (some were 14".) I thought that was a pretty good description, but I don't know if there really is such a thing. They were jumbo / supersized / huge-mongous !!!
3. The main thing with perch is that they be fat. I've caught some long ones that were so skinny they didn't amount to much after filleting. (Actually, I prefer skinning them whole.)
4. All this talk is making me want to go catch a mess of them.
5. BTW, I checked the Utah Lake harbors Friday to see if I could launch my little boat yet. Provo Harbor is still mostly iced over. So is A.F. (a couple of fishermen were on it, but fishing was pretty slow.) Lindon is now completely ice-free, so launching a boat there is possible.
