[IFwetrust1]

nice perch, we dont see many that big in north dakota, just northerns and walleyes usually

[tarheels59]

@IFwetrust1 sorry but i have to disagree with you. Ever fish Devils Lake? Ive pulled up some nice perch there

[IFwetrust1]

@tarheels59 no, ive never really fished on devils lake, ill have to go up this winter

[KB3GZW]

That first one is a very nice one. I caught one that size on a Rapala DT-4 once completely by accident while bass fishing. His mouth was huge.

[bradybackmtn]

that first one was huge!

[gali4436]

thats a huge perch man

[jtschid0910]

hell thats 1st one is bigger than some of the walleyes we catch up here in minnesota

[jmpt13]

ive had a tip up for two years and havent caught anything with it. :(

[jtschid0910]

what do you fish for with it?

[pyxiefrog124]

do some rsearch on how to ice fish

[cashkidd18]

i have only once caught a perch on a tip-up and I was pissed because I thought it was a northern,and it was only 7" and bit on a 2.5" shiner

[fireworksman1919]

the smallest perch i caght was 10 inch but the biggest was 17 inch where i fish and they bite on pike minnows the huge ones lol same thing happened to me i thought i had a small pike but it was a big 15 in on a tip up but u had a funny story

[Willyrooster]

[chanse33]

where in new jersey?

[WebguyAngler]

Hopatcong

[KB3GZW]

Is there a hopatcong and a pohatcong? NJ never made much sense to me, being from PA.

[yourmotherFer]

@KB3GZW yes there is both. dont know of a lake pohatcong though. Lake hopatcong is the head waters for the musconetcong river.

[greentimmyblueniki]

where do you get those fishing poles??

[WebguyAngler]

bait shops or online

[patriota1978]

I love ice fishing, but without all "new things". Only me, rod and fish.

[WebguyAngler]

old school is cool, but not as easy to share...

[THExGOODxLIFE310]

with tip ups do the fish get off before you reach your tip up a lot?

[WebguyAngler]

sometimes, it can be frustrating. Some tip-ups have an adjustment to make them harder to trip, also treble hooks can help too.

[THExGOODxLIFE310]

ah unfortunately treble hooks are out lawed in Alberta the closest we can get is double

[Refden]

What an awesome looking perch man! Here in Finland i have caught some like that too :)

[WebguyAngler]

That's cool, thanks!

[ilikepie6900]

[nuthinfancy1960]
