1oz shy of state record perch

Close friend of mine fished nickajack Lake today and caught a good mess but besides that he caught a 15.5 inch 2lb 1oz yellow perch that came 1oz of tying the state record at 2.2 and 2oz of beating it. All of us here catch alot of good fish in our lives but it would be a letdown to get so close but be shy to have your name in the books. This is a monster yellow perch. Either way congrats on a great catch.

Nice!

Guess they haven't finished spawning yet...

wish I could find some here in middle Tn.

Don't know. I'm a crappie fishermen.
There is a lake in ducktown that you can catch em by the hundreds. But it's about an hour and 15 just to get there. Maybe I would have the time in about 25 more years when I retire. It really is the best spot I've ever seen to catch perch. This is a pic from last week another buddy loaded em up.

very cool!

That is very cool right there.

I would drive there just to catch some. Never caught one.

holy crap! if you can find the time to go, id pay for the trip. id LOVE to catch a bunch of perch. btw we use to hunt with jackie ' dub' that holds the record

I've only caught 3 and that was on Kentucky lake a long time ago, I'd love to have a mess of them

I can give you all directions to the lake. Enough details you get tired of catching them if you want. I just ain't got time and prefer crappie over perch.

I forgot it's in your backyard. Have you not been up to tumbling Creek?

Very nice perch! But the locations of where to catch them is not true, it's just a myth!

:super:

Nice

That's funny right there.

Ive fished tumbling creek and started slow but they was 4 of us in the boat and we all caught in the range of 15 to 17 perch a piece once we figured out where to fish
