What a chunk!
It looks like a balloon that will pop with one more puff of air.

New Puffer fish _____ Perch hybred. Invasive specie, all should be caught and eaten. Going to make one hell-of-a-mount.

I find filleting egg laden perch to be kind of a drag.

I could swear the filets are smaller on eggy fish than a scrawny male of the same length.

my brother was there a few days ago and he said with all the snow and slush on the ice you are earning every thing you catch. Damn near a mile hike to get to fishing

Reminds me of one of those interbred, pet-store goldfish that gets so bulbous and obnoxious it can't swim very well.

Wonder what the length is on that? One little squeeze and it's just a nice perch, probably had to be pretty careful with it

I've heard of inflating crawlers, but this is the 1st perch I've seen!

no one up there had ever seen a perch eye on the castmaster they thought my brother was crazy till it worked.
