Where's Bill Cody when he's wrong?
Come on out wherever you are Bill. I know your there!
Since when am I wrong on this thread? I'm here and not hiding. I saw TJ's second set of pictures. The 12" YP that TJ is showing in belly view did look like a female. This perch looked a little more plump especially the belly view than the 14" perch that I thought was a male. We also have to consider the 2nd perch was 12" and first perch was 14". I think the 14" perch if it was a female would appear fatter due to the egg mass being larger in a larger fish. Too bad we don't have a belly view of TJ's 14" YP. Maybe he will catch another 14"er this winter? TJ is this the same pond where you could not catch any larger perch or plump perch this summer?
No Bill - fish reported from this Summer are from the "trophy" BB/YP pond with single sex fish. It's since been drained, seined, and refilled and all fish caged over winter. I'll reevalute their credentials prior to restocking this May/June. I'm going to ensure all fish are pellet trained prior to stocking and will triple verify sex during their spawning seasons.
Believe me, I want to pop another 14" YP...I'll be at it all season, will post ASAP if I'm lucky enough to see one again. Will include multiple photos.
