Yellow perch males will get big up to 14" and maybe 16" if they live long enough. Dr. Dave Willis reported in an In-Fisherman magazine article that YP can reach the 2 pound size aka "Jalopy perch". Problem is with pellet fed males they die before they get larger than 12". I caught a 13" male perch last week.
