Master Angler perch!!

Post by Themug »

My first Master Angler fish of the year. A nice fat Champlain yellow belly that came in right at 13 inches. Caught on a tip up with a fathead. Managed 8 or 10 other smaller ones, 3 northerns, lots of flags with nobody home and another slob of a perch that measured 12 inches. Fun day today!!

That is a nice one.
Congrats on your first Master Angler catch in 2013.
Only 4 more to go to get your Master Angler pin.

One of the greatest incentive fishing programs out there. I had my first one last year, 'till Gerry beat it...

Very nice. Shaun just approved my 1st of the year 13" yellow too.
1 down 4 to go...
Missed last year's MA pin by one fish, that elusive yellow belly would have been nice.

I've lost perch on tipups right at the hole that ate XL pike bait...those suckers are fierce! Last year I went for pike with my girlfriend and got 7 or 8 perch just barely under 13"!

Nice perch. Very bright!
