Bill I was looking more for pure Sauger, they are noted to not reach the larger size that WE can reach. That was my main concern. I suppose I should just buy WE fingerlings and harvest all at 18 inches or so to limit their eating the larger size perch you mention. Once a perch gets that big, I figure he is table bound not WE food.
CJ we have the same situation here at the Pymatuning Reservior, the walleye runs are unreal, and the "green suits with hip boots" are all over there too. I know what you mean on the sizes and spawn, etc. but I may try to get some from the Res. once the ice goes out.
