Very nice!!! I just read this thread the other day from beginning to end and was both amazed and impressed with the entire process. It was kinda like a time-lapse photo for me. I have a limited knowledge of growth rates for bass, but I don't know a thing about the growth rates of perch. 11 inch fish that are barely over a year old seems to me to be outstanding growth. Is this the case?...or do perch really grow that quickly? Either way, it's got to be terribly gratifying for you. Good job indeed.
