are these comman? i never run into any new species in my lake so this is exciting.....

White Perch (Morone americana) closely related to the sea bass family. It was originally native to coastal waters along the entire eastern sea board then was introduced into inland waters. White perch are very tasty. Fillet them like you would any panfish.

No offense man, how have you been fishing since age 8 and not be able to identify a white perch?  :'(

On the other hand, I've noticed you have a knack for catching some nice smallies up there in Philly  

Iv never seen a white perch, thats why......

some guys told me they were getting walleyes their, so i assumed thats what it was......

thanks for the smallie comment, not a nack though, only got 3 smallies all year
