12 3/4 or 32.3 CM yellow perch

[vashe]

Well while reading many post when I started on the forums I saw alot of people talk about yellow perch. Dont know where to post it so figure I post it on here and hopefully a mod or admin can put it in the correct spots. Like i said since people talk about the fish on here i figure i post the one i caught today. He is about 12 3/4 Inches or 32.3 CM. I caught him useing a medium size Shinner.
Enjoy the pic

Sitting in a Cooler with a powerhead till tomorrow cause we got home pretty late and dont want to make a mess cleaning it tonight. The fish has beautiful colors as you can see in the pics
