I think catching a 7.5 pound fish of ANY kind out of your lake would be a best moment. No doubt about it. But what kind of "perch" runs that big?

I don't know if this is the case, but I understand the article was translated from German to English. Unless Dubya is one wild fish story teller, I think what may have happened is he was referring to a bass, and since the German word for perch is Barsch, it's a mistranslation? Just a hunch on my part. Hey, maybe that Texan accent also added to throwing off the translator? \:D

Of course I do know folks down south call bluegills -- perch, or sunperch, but obviously that size is way out of line for a bluegill too.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
