my 1st YP of 2012
caught a nice yellow perch fishing from shore. little over 11"
i was using a minnow under bobber and there was no action except for catching this one fish. just got lucky i guess. i was going to keep him as a pet but i think the temp change was probly just too much. 40 to 72+. but you know what they say - all's well that ends well. cleaned and fried him up as an appetizer. delicious! couldn't add vid to post, so here you go : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpafn...ature=youtu.be |
Shame he died - be cool to have one in a tank.
Thermal shock is tough on fish. If you try it again - perhaps use an old cooler to transport the fish. Leave the cooler near fish tank so cooler water slowly rises to temperature of fish tank. Drop a spare thermometer in cooler to gauge when it's time to move the new pet. |
YP are one of the prettiest fish to be found in these parts.
Caught him pretty close to the bottom, eh? Very nice! |
