So Yesterday we went to the local park, Everyone is catching tons of perch. I for one am not a good perch fishermen (ask skipper62 ) Well so anyway I'm down in the fish count like 10-0 lol. So we go down to the local house when my friend gets his chatter bait stuck...I almost went over to help him get it out when BAMMMM hit when it jumps out of the water with my chatter bait in its mouth...woooooo was I excited!! haha enough talk, heres the pic ( 3 pounds 18 inches)

O ya, and the REAL show!

Welp Im out!

lol.. Good day of fishing ..

Here's my bass that I caught.. with a net ... Yall said it couldn't be done.. cuz bass are too smart..

And this is the huge perch and fairly large shad I caught with my casting net..

Tight lines

O, and all fish were released, just for the record

Well done! Congrats on the PB! The fish in the pic with the shad is not a perch but a bream

Always glad to hear about a new pb.

Those chatterbaits are very hit or miss for me.

When there hot there hot but when there not there not.

we were night fishing once, i couldnt get too much action, but my buddy was burning a chatterbait and was slaying them. I had one but lost it the first day. Never got another. Id say they work, however

Congrats....File Mob

Congrats on your new PB!

Congrats on the PB!!!!!

Great job File Mob!  

Atta Boy!!  I love to see people that get excited while fishing.  I know I do.  ;D

Thats a nice looking bass. Looks like it had a beer belly too but I cant realy tell since your pushing it in. Just a tip though when you take a picture with a fish its often better to stand closer to the camera and hold the far out infront of you. The viewer gets a better view of the detail of the fish and makes your fish look bigger. I can still tell its a nice bass from this pic though.

nice catch file

Hey File Mob, congrats on the great catch ! BTW, if you cradle the bass further back under the anal fin, the belly will hang down more, and make the fish look fatter, bigger, and more comfortable. Just a little fish photo secret.

Hey T-Rig, that's not a Perch, or a Bream, it's a Chinkipin :-) .... no wait... I think it's a Shellcracker.... hold on.... I'd say its a Red Ear Sunfish :-) In reality, any of these names could be used just as easily, because what it really is, is a Lepomis Microlophus. Okay... I cheated. I had to look up the second half of this name :-)

Peace,

Fish

^yeah, lots of people call species of sunfish perch in certain regions.

FYI

Any small plate shaped freashwater fish, is a bream.

Makes it alot easier to identify that way.

And since when does Fish Chris know anything  about fish that weigh less than 10 lbs.

Sheesh, some guys  8-)

Way to go, File Mob!

8-)

That's a fine catch young man!!!  Congrats

AWESOME FILW MOB!  For what it's worth, here in Kansas we have abused the 'perch' name for a long time.  I still call them perch.  Must be something in the water over here! LOL

Great catch and nice PERCH!  Keep it up!  

lol.. In kansas, we kind of call every little fish a perch.. We distinguish catfish, bass, and like shad and stuff.. then all the other technical stuff we call perch..

Blazik didn't kyle say it was a bluegill?

Yep me too :

Although I have gotten away from that. I now usually refer to them as some expletive. Just pains in a.. that bite baits they have no business biting :

Congrats on the new PB.

Good catchin' FM and Congratulations on your new PB!!!  

Might want to capitalize "God" though and not just "Chatterbait".
