good descriptions ken.
i thought it was huge too, a trophy for the species if it is a tule perch.....and VERY RARE......thought to be brought to the verge of extinction in the delta by the introduction of all the eastern species 100+ yrs ago (bg, gsf, res, warmouth, smb, lmb, etc. etc...)
i'm guessing between 5 and 6-inches long, hard to tell from that pic, but another pic showed his hand near fish, i'll see if i can get that up here.
here i found it....
he said the fish was floating, near death, and had been attacked up around dorsal fin which you can clearly see in this pic, he plucked it from water just to see what kind of fish it was.
