Just talked to my buddy that lives on that lake and it was his neighbor that caught it. So we are devising a plan to beat it.  Problem is, its a private lake and i cant take my gig boat, the boat has to registered to him and the lake.  Im thinking gigging would be the easiest way  lol.  Ive caught one off his dock that was 1-7 one night

Years ago, we fished an old railroad lake somewhere in North Missouri.  The MDC fisheries biologist told us if we wanted yellow perch, this was the place to go.  Well, having fished many a yellow perch run off the pier at Grand Haven MI as a kid, I got very excited.  We loaded up the boat and trailered up to the lake early the next morning.  We put in and tossed a few casts with 2 inch power grubs on 1/16th once jigs.  Within 10 minutes, I boated and boxed up a 13.5" yeller perch.  Woohooo!  We fished and fished and fished maybe 4 more hours and did catch a few nice largemouth.

The 5 min. warning was sounded, and on the "last cast", my friend caught an 11" yellow perch.  We went back several times that year and never caught another,  haven't been back since.  Maybe the water just got too warm since the railroad days, or the bass really enjoyed baby yellow perch, or both.

And then there's the time on the 11 point when we caught and kept-cleaned and ate a 22 1/2 inch pickerel and a 24 3/4 inch pickerel.

Shortly after finishing up our delicious "pike" dinner and a few beers...I looked up to find that we had likely enjoyed two fish that mostly likely would have both been new state record pickerel on hook and line.  Honestly, I'm not sure which was eaten first, I hope we got the order right.

Those are a couple of big pickerel.  They were very abundant in Massachusetts when I lived there, and I think I may have caught one that was over 20 inches.  They are tasty, but very boney.

People will do anything to get a record. Look grandkids…I caught a 11 ounce bass with a throw line!! Now go git my cigarettes! 😂
