John, can you catch one and get a good clear picture of the fish from the side? Those do NOT look like Yellow Perch to me.
Take a picture of the fish like this picture that I posted below.
Top fish is a LMB, lower fish is a YP. See how the YP has the vertical bands? Those vertical bands are not apparent on your fish.
