Trophy yellow perch

[RUGER]

I forgot about this too.
The last trip to the White River we were drifting along and I was just throwing a roostertail and reeling it in S L O W and this gave me time to just watch what we drifted over.

Saw some pretty good trout but then I saw something that I wanted to catch BAD.

It was a yellow perch (identified by the stripes on it's back) that HAD to be at least 14" if not longer.
Looked to be about as big around as a baseball bat.

Only thing I could think of was ease the roostertail near him but he squirted off to the side before I could get the angle on him.
Gonna have to take some red worms on my next trip over there.

Can you use minnows over there? They work well for larger Perch. Or like I said before, a kastmaster spoon jigged vertical is hard to beat.

Not sure on the minnows but I got the kastmasters!

Last time I was there I was in kayak and floated over a couple of really nice walleye and saw one get caught.

Hey guys, go with the Flex-it spoon buy from Captain Mack, cheapest seller. We use them on yellow bass, crappie, walleye, sauger. Great baits!

Certain times of year they slay th walleye just below the dam at Bull Shoals.
