Pool 8 Jumbo Perch

Well I apologize for the late post, but the jumbo perch are on the spawn on pool 8. Last week I was catching them quite consitently on bass tackle and a couple of my buddies whacked them again today after I told them where to go/what to use. I caught this monster 14″ perch last Tuesday while fishing for bass. It was one of quite a few, but none of the others were this big. It is most likely the biggest perch I’ve ever caught. The thing had to have been pushin’ 2 lbs with the monster gut she had!!

Nice perch Cade! But how do we know you don’t have small feet?

dd

That is a beauty for sure Cade

Nice football

why would u keep a big fat female like ?????????

Its his fish he can do what he wants with it.

lets see here..the picture is easily a hundred feet off shore…i dont know about u but when i CPR a fish its done on the spot so that the fish STAYS ALIVE…And the reason ALOT of people dont like Cade is because he gives up spots that others are fishing….You all will say that they are community holes but there isnt a community fishing there until he posts on this website…..He may be a good fishermen in your books but he will never be in my mind because I believe that a good fishermen keeps his spots and techniques a secret so that we can preserve the fishery.

I dont know if your adams brother but he was a friend of mine…And I hope that he threw this fish back…But if your going to release a fish why not take the picture right when u catch it so you dont keep the fish out of the water for a long time….Our perch population has just begun to come back and I would prefer to keep it that way.

Oh yea and one picture is IN the boat and another is OUT of the boat. You people obviously dont take smart pills.

FYI- I never posted the location that you are fishing. You obviously just revealed that yourself..

I’m sorry that you got confused, but this fish was released back to her bed after about two minutes. I caught her, took a picture on the deck, then quickly went to shore where there was a guy walking that could take my picture. The distance was far less than a hundred feet, and I was running. we got the picture and I quickly released the fish which swam away healthily. Believe it or not, when the water is this cold a fish’s metabolism slows down tramendously and being out of the water for a few minutes does absolutely no harm. Ask yourself: What would you do if you just caught a personal best perch and were by yourself but people were standing on shore less than 60 yds from you? I don’t even need to hear the answer, because I don’t care. You can say I was wrong for what I did but I don’t regret it because I have a picture for memories, and the fish was released un-harmed.
I find it quite hilarious that people criticize me for not giving enough information, taking kneeling down pics, etc. and then turn around and tell me I tell everyone all of my secrets..I know there are many people on this website that share far more information/revealing pics than I do, but they must not be an easy enough target for you

I may be a sucky fisherman in your opinion, and that’s fine and dandy with me. If that’s the only factor you use to judge someones fishing ability, I don’t want to be a good fisherman.

Now for some more spot sharing and secret revealing…

Got out today and whacked some more perch. biggest one was a 12.5″ 1 lb 7 oz perch. I also had a 12″er and a 12.5″ that went 1 lb even. Great fishing is ahead.

Good for you…I take all my pictures kneeling down. But I will say that I have more than once figured out spots where you and your buddies were “catching the fish” because of your posts on this site. And more than once it happened to be at the same spots I was fishing but nobody else had been until you posted it on here. You know what I’m saying

Well that’s great man. Great minds think alike huh?

Yup they do..

great fish cade!!! Keep it up

Cade concrats on the fish you are catching now.Those are some dandy perch for sure.In life and as you get older you will run into a lot of people that get all worked up over a lot of things you do in all aspects of life.Just step back and think things over and don’t think you can talk a lot of these people out of, our into the way you think.You have a very good work ethic and I believe a good head on your shoulders.Good luck in your fishing and what ever direction you take in life.Don’t get into a public Pi$$on contest it never works out!! Good luck this summer.

Wow….You have been a member here less than 2 months and over half your post’s are either to slam Cade or insult other members here…..

its obviously his decision to post where he fishes and how he catches em. thats what this site is for sharing info and showing pics. and how are you going to say someone is a bad fisherman for keeping fish??? isnt that why the dnr puts imits on them so we can keep them. there has been times crappie fishing on lakes catching crappies with the smallest 12″ and not wanting to keep them but we went out to catch a couple for dinner in the spring. let people do what they want,fish how they want, and post how they want and dont critisize them because he might of kept a fish that you wouldt keep but hey maybe he wanted to! as long as theyre legal and in season keep away!!!

Great fish Cade! People like that should just stay away from great sites like IDO

So BMiller, your gonna put down Cade because he catches bigger and better fish than you?! haha thats funny cuz i havent seen you once yet post a report of all the fish “you Caught”. plus, you shouldnt be coming on this website and saying crap like that. 2 months? is that it? wow shut your mouth

Oh man, NOW I see where you were fishing. You – you were on the WATER.

Part of the reason this site is so wonderful is BECAUSE of people like Cade posting info, techniques and such. Great fish man. And its YOUR choice what to do with it. For a person like me that simply doesn’t get the water time we would like, its guys like Cade (and many others) that vastly improve our enjoyment opportunities when we do. If a person wants to keep a river all to themselves – get your own dang river.

Now be a sport and post the GPS co-ordinance for that spot, would ya??

I don’t even fish pool 8, so I will be of no competition to you.

Just think about what this site WOULDN’T be without folk sharing. /rant
