A yellow perch with a standard weight of 4 lbs 3 oz would be 19" long. But I presume this world record perch was a gravid female. This same fish without eggs would have weighed 3.2 to 3.4 lbs which means by the "Fish Calculator" it was 17.0" to 17.75" long. I am very confident that Cecil or I will produce a 17" perch within the next few years. Stay tuned.
