Chris Geroff caught this fish a couple weeks ago out of Bull Shoals Lake. It's called a Sun Perch or Northern Perch. They aren't native to this lake, so it's a rare catch. And this one was only a few ounces short of the Arkansas state record! Bill Bauer told me yesterday he also caught one recently, but not quite as large.

A Curious Catch
Chris Geroff caught this fish a couple weeks ago out of Bull Shoals Lake. It's called a Sun Perch or Northern Perch. They aren't native to this lake, so it's a rare catch. And this one was only a few ounces short of the Arkansas state record! Bill Bauer told me yesterday he also caught one recently, but not quite as large.
It would have been the record if his arms were a little longer.
ReplyDeleteA bunch of those are being caught now. I started catching them a couple years ago on the lake. Some northerners told me it was yellow perch. The bigger ones are good eating.
