Well I must appoligies for not getting to your question sooner. I am out here in Idaho but I will share what I can.
Yes it would seem there should be larger perch but they can and do overpopulate and once they have it is hard to get ahold of them to where they will get bigger. We have bodies of water here that have that size and smaller but we also have a few bodies of water where they are in the 12" range and up to 16", now that's a nice perch.
Not sure about your regs there concerning the use of live bait but if minnows can be used and you can get past the smaller ones they may scare up a larger perch.
Might try the deepest part of the lake and work up till you find some.
Not sure this helped but kept on trying and asking questions.
