I thought more than two members would be eating YP, but I did get two expert slot limit opinions. This year I actually have large enough numbers of Perch, an impressive percentage of which are 11" - 14" (with one lurker I have only seen a foot or so down, that looks to be notably larger than that), that I plan on taking out some to eat. Normally they are just a bonus catch amid all the BGxRES.
Thank you to Dr. Perca and the Baron of Bremer Pond.
My plan is to eat YP out of my pond if they are able to successfully procreate. I didn't see any ribbons this year, but I didn't put out any structure that was visible. The structure I thought they would use was a bit too deep for me to see after the heavy rains and my pond was full. Hopefully I'll see some offspring this year. I'm impressed by your sizes Theo ! I bet a 14" YP is a blast to reel in. After one year I've gotten some YP up to 10.5" and those already excite me!
