big perch
I caught a beautiful 14" perch today.  Is that big enough to have mounted?  That isn't as important to me as it used to be.  Just wondering.

Re: big perch
Get a few really nice ones every Spring but don't usually keep 'em. Had a couple > 14" but they're always full of eggs so they usually go back.

Re: big perch
Geez LP,that's a dandy,she'll fillet up nice for dinner,consider a replica,they last longer than a skin mount IMO.

Done both over the years,just had a 33" skin mount walleye re-furbished from 1960,scales were rolling back,cheeks were cracked,body paint faded...but oh the memories of that fish that day,couldn't toss it out.

Congrats.

Re: big perch
After freezing and thawing and better measuring it was only 13" so it is part of supper tonight.  Gunner you are right.  If I get another one like that I will measure it and release it.  I would sure like to see more perch in the river.
