    Originally started looking for pike on a small west central wisconnie pothole a couple weeks ago and kept getting minnow trips upon reaching the hole undoubtably there was a tiger striped shiner thief struggling with a 4 inch shiner, after about 5-6 of these we started bringing a jig rod to every flag and got about a dozen between 12 and 14 the next few outings consisted of running to one tip down after another and the pike went on the back burner ended up with two weeks of solid perch destruction with maybe a dozen between 13.5 and 14.75 with a couple real freaks popping loose, as they say when life gives you perch start the fryer, but all good things must come to an end and the shallow bay that was so good is almost froze to the bottom so the searching starts again, oh by the way anyone got any good walleye/perch spots from shore near lacrosse wife’s got a conference there first week in April so probably tag along and get some rivertime in, not very familiar with the big river any tips would be appreciated

    Three guys, gotta keep it on the up and up so all legal actually I only had 20 personally in the pic of all the perch, plus that lake freezes out about every 5-6 years thus the guilt free harvesting

    I don’t care what you kept but ………………………… “plus that lake freezes out about every 5-6 years thus the guilt free harvesting”

    It takes longer than 5-6 years to grow a perch bigger than 14″.

    Looks like it was a ton of fun. You don’t see perch in a bunch like that to often.

    exactly! Very nice batch of fish, and I’m sure it was a hoot.

    I can see both sides of the story here.But I sure hope the original poster doesn’t complain when he can’t catch any decent fish in the future on that “pothole’ lake.

    Just out of curiosity, what if it was 3 guys that took there kids out and posted the pictures were of the kids with the fish instead of them? would the reaction be different to this posting?

    I’m not down on these guys as long as they are within the law.
    But for me, that would be the perfect time to teach the kids about catch & release and why its so important.

    That’s three trips in two weeks prob between three guys 225 perch which I gave 50 of mine to inlaws, old dude next door, etc but people who don’t fish, fried up 25 and had a few folks over for perch and leinies don’t see the problem, if keeping 5 eyes is ok is 25 perch not acceptable??? The pike took a nice brine bath and secured some hunting rights, couple think of better things to come topside for if I was a fish.

    not disagreeing with anyone here. was just putting a thought out there as if the comments would be different if the “kids” were the ones that caught them all and the dads jsut got them there. but understandable what you are saying Joel.

    If the Wisconsin dnr didn’t want you to keep 25 perch a day then they would lower the daily bag limit.
