It's Illegal to export live yellow perch from a Great Lakes state without testing for VHS and possibly heterosporis. To test you need to sacrifice a minimum of 60 fish. Doesn't matter if it's a private pond.
Even as tough as yellow perch are I have serious doubts they would survive even overnight transport at those sizes. You could also have a punctured bag from the spines. Fish of that size would be all beat up too by the time they got to their destination.
