    That is weird. I’ve never seen one like that. Where did you catch it?

    That’s a pretty cool looking perch!

    I’ve caught a few odd looking ones but not like that.

    Super sensitive and really durable. You need to use light jigs/lures. Overall good rod

    This was the last one. Hit a small jig tipped with a wax worm. You can see the jig in its mouth

    I have seen Saugeye with those vertical stripes, it may be a walleye/sauger/perch or any combination hybrid.

    Cool fish. Guessing it is some kind of hybrid.

    I have a tickle stick and liked it until the tip broke. Still usable but got a snitch and like that too.
