Shhhh...there are no bass in Perry, and the ones that aren't there also won't eat the Ned.

I was born and raised in Kansas graduated from Tonganoxie and I can tell that Perry was a well kept secret at one time.  The slot limit they had really helped the size in that lake.  Great fishery.

I shot a big one a couple years back with a spear.  Is it some form of carp or a drum.  I was thinking it is a buffalo carp.

aarch-dale, coming from the north, I'm very well acquainted with drum (which we call Sheephead) and Lake Erie is packed with them. They hit lures and bait, fight really well and if served right are pretty good eating. I don't know why they are so looked down upon everywhere other than they are not your target and kinda homley looking.  The nice catch you have pictured is not a drum but a Buffalo. Nice shot!

Take me with you on TR, if there is a drum within a mile it will find my jig.  Funny how they can hit like a crappie or bass and can put up a decent fight or none at all.  I still my one and only Master Angler Award haging on my wall, the fish, Freshwater Drum from Pomme de Terre.

If you ever catch one on a crank bait you will think you have the biggest fish in the lake. I caught a 10# drum last year. I was hoping for some wall hanger walleye but when it came up,,,just a dumb drum. I have made up my might to make cut bait out of the next one, they must be able to read your mind because I haven't caught one since

I caught a 13lb. drum on TR 30 yrs. ago on a twin spin. I was fishing with a friend near Joe Bald he caught a 18lb. drum on a jig and pig.

Yep, amazed that I've never heard anyone speak of catching a Drum while fishing at TR while a lot of guys catch them often at LOZ. 

There are no drum in TR.  That is a hoax and should probably be checked on Snopes.  Champ188 can attest I'll catch any drum within 100 nautical miles.  Gives me crap about it frequently.  Jerkbaits at Grand.  Two on a squarebill at Bull on back-to-back casts. Big 'un on a jig at Greers Ferry.  The list goes on.  So, in my expert opinion there are no drum in TR 'cos I am the Drum Queen mo-sheen and have never so much as snagged a scale on one at the Rock.

I caught one last fall at LOZ that would have probably went 6-7 lbs on a wiggle wart, thought I had a big bass for a bit, fun to catch, my 2 older brothers when they used to go to Tanny every Jan caught them often, and kept them, said they were pretty good, I myself have never ate one

96CHAMP, they will knock the urine out of a Megabass on LOZ.
