Great show, guys! I've got a gem of a lake for perch down here in southeastern Wisconsin an I know I've learned some terrific tips on finding and catching them. Yeah!!!

Keep your tip up!

One of those tips is to use a "GO Devil" for those perch. Here in northern Minnesota, I've been just slaughtering these perch using the "GO Devil"!!!!!

Perch love'em to death!

We're happy to help provide ways for working men and women to make it through the day.

See ya' up to LOTW. Those perch are incredible. Tom, owner of WigWam, was telling us about a 16" super-slob he had caught the year prior. Now THAT is a perch!

What does a 16" perch weigh and wouldn't that be flirting with the state record???

I was born in the 70's, grew up in 80's, made my mistakes in 90's now I'm just trying to make up for lost time.

That would sure be getting pretty close I would think.

Perch, Yellow 3-4 n/a Lake Plantaganette Hubbard 1945

If I have the weight right then he was awful close. Regardless, any perch over 2 Lbs is a monster.

As I was watching this I realized one of the tips you guys offered transfers over to other species as well.
When I am in an area with a sand bottom, I almost always drop a heavier spoon and bounce it off the bottom a few times to stir things up. It is amazing how quickly you will have fish of all species show up to investigate the disturbance. After awhile, the cloud clears and it seems fish will leave. Stir the bottom up again, and the fish come right back.
That was a great show guys with great graphics and tips

Does anyone have a clue where to pick up some decent perch, would like to take the kids out so it need to have decent action, would like to see them be at least eight inches. need to either be in minn. Iowa, or wis. thanks for any info

Mille Lacs, Winnie, Leech, Lake of the Woods and many of the backwaters off of the Mississippi River have huge populations of jumbo perch.
