How I catch big yellow perch

[@dakotastewart8673]

what size jig??

[@bassmoore2083]

Hey! i ypical use a 1/16 or a 1/8th depending on the depths im fishing and the clarity of water.. clearer i use a lighter fall.. stained i use a faster fall

[@dakotastewart8673]

+Zach Moore thanks for the response! love the video z and just starting to fish for perch. so I ask questions

[@bassmoore2083]

Im glad to help anyway i can!! where are you fishing for them at? best tasting fish around IMO

[@dakotastewart8673]

+Zach Moore in rochester ny

[@bassmoore2083]

Hows the fishing been around NY.. you getting any perch?

[@johnbeckman8916]

How ANYONE could throw a perch back boggles my mind. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO delicious.

[@bassmoore2083]

I 100% agree with you ! i love them, i didnt have time to get any fillets during this day tho, was a quick trip

[@Keithbull65]

They are the best tasting fish there is!!

[@proxcuber4741]

I’m always mad. Whenever I go to catch perch to eat, I catch 1 or 2. But when I’m fishing for everything else and I don’t wanna bring anything home, I get slammed with perch!!

[@lexingtonlad5745]

Nice vid. But for me the mepps black fury catches most of my perch.

[@bigdogg7775]

Dont get me wrong i love to eat crappie but if could catch a bucket full of yellow perch 😍😍 .... Talking about a whole other level from any Fresh water fish.

[@drewandcharlie7583]

Theres a lake i like to fish, full of perch but I’m interested in targeting the bigger ones. I usually use a drop shot double rig with crawlers and it works great but ya get a lotta shorties. I’m gonna try this. Use a bobber to jump a jig off the bottom

[@richardnixon7739]

Thanks a lot for showing us how to catch those big yellow perch

[@DROutdoors18]

Enjoyed the video. Look forward to another!

[@user-sr6pq7dv8q]

Wow, these i didn't know they had perch in the USA. Here in Europe they tend to be alot bigger and greener :P

[@bassmoore2083]

haha yeah we do have them, but they def are no where the size that you guys have thats for sure

[@itslitraps6793]

ive caught a 1 pound perch

[@bassmoore2083]

yeah thats a very nice fish !

[@ryannlarge1486]

The difference is in the species. European (redfin) perch versus yellow perch.

[@gregoryhunts3006]

Come to Wisconsin and fish the Mississippi for 12 to 15in perch. Occasionally even catch a few 16in perch.

[@bassmoore2083]

Gregory Gofuckurself I’d love that , def planning to make a trip someday . So many bigger fish outside of Maryland

[@gregoryhunts3006]

@@bassmoore2083 we have some really nice trout streams as well. But the Mississippi river produces some big fish. The perch run is over now but the crappies and catfish are spawning now followed by the bluegills.

[@lahecoq2417]

why did you release this pike kind of thing? Was it undersized or you didnt want it? Because in estonia pike's size to keep it must be 46cm, around 15 inch

[@bassmoore2083]

1000 subs with no videos I don’t like to eat them

[@hornsuptv]

Nicely done. Dig the new intro too.

[@bassmoore2083]

Thank you ! I appreciate it . I try and switch them up from time to time

[@truthsower4560]

Great video Zach! Did you film this video the last couple of days? And what river were you fishing if you don't mind me asking?

[@bassmoore2083]

Sorry i missed this some how. Back then yes i recently filmed in previous few days. That was the Magothy River. Upper magothy by beachwood park

[@ZachPohle]

Hey great video, really helpful! Could you possibly tell me what boat it is you are using? I'm looking into doing something similar, but not sure what to go with. Thanks!

[@bassmoore2083]

Thank you ! This is an Old Town Predator PDL Kayak. I really liked it, but eventually went back to a Hobie Pro angler.. I liked the space next to my legs, which the PDL did not provide.. the PDL is much faster tho, and the instant reverse is pretty cool

[@lexingtonlad5745]

Nice vid. But I find the mepps black fury is unbeatable. I've tried all sorts of different techniques but nothing beats mepps.

[@stoneygreek]

I have the same yak, old town predator. i love It!

[@bassmoore2083]

Its a great kayak for sure.. VERY fast. I loved it.. Recently moved on to a hobie pro angler though .. needed more space

[@WaynJul]

Those are some nice perch. Good eating to.

[@bassmoore2083]

Yes they are, Best tasting fish in my opinion

[@jimmyers6024]

feb- march spawn will bite everything , shad darts depends on lots of factors. were i live i use micro baits............

[@Bryacs]

Hi just wondering what size of hooks you using and what kind?

[@bassmoore2083]

Bryant Aclan my dad used to make these darts and they were a 1/8 ounce head with a size 1 Hook .

[@Bryacs]

Sounds good thanks man

[@gatorgator447]

Great video man. Whats the info on your kayak?

[@bassmoore2083]

Thank you. Sorry I missed this. This was the Predator PDL kayak. I recently sold this and moved back to a hobie pro angler tho

[@danboisvert5364]

Great video brotha!

[@bassmoore2083]

Dan Boisvert thank you . I appreciate you watching

[@lukeyun8010]

Nice video man! Any Striper fishing Vids coming up soon? Big cows should be moving up the bay, if not already here! Subbed .

[@bassmoore2083]

Thanks! Im not really a saltwater kind of guy much, but i will get some striper videos in the fall. I love Top water fishing for them

[@Subz3r097]

Where state is this in? Looks familiar. Good catch man!

[@bassmoore2083]

Thank you . It’s in Maryland

[@Subz3r097]

Hey that's where i'm from! Good luck this season.

[@bassmoore2083]

Subz3r097 thanks man . You too . I fish all over maryland . Maybe I’ll see ya out there sometime

[@RoyDallasFishing]

awesome catch bro

[@bassmoore2083]

Thank you!

[@tbenziger1348]

Do u eat the perch or release them??

[@bassmoore2083]

T Benziger I eat them but 11 inches or better or I won’t waste my time to often

[@OutandaboutoutdoorswithRon]

I love fishing for perch. I do sc h in Pennsylvania. I have caught them up to 16" but that's rare. Most of the time I consider 12" to be a good size for harvesting . My favorite bait is a half a night crawler. Hooked similar to your jig though I do not use a jig much for them I have a few videos on them if you want to check me out up to you I am new to KZbin so. I only started this past year. May be you could give me a few pointers. Any way loved the video thanks for sharing

[@bassmoore2083]

Out and About Outdoors With Ron and Friends thanks for watching ! Yeah 12 is a solid size for a keeper . Night crawlers are def a great bait for them . I use them from time to time

[@rider660r]

SC PA too,if they're not 12+ I throw'em back. I use a jig with a lil pink,white,or yellow rubber or hair tipped with 1/4-1/2" nightcrawler.

[@spencerwaldbauer2453]

I use a pickerel rig and night crawlers

[@bassmoore2083]

What is a pickerel rig?

[@ryannlarge1486]

High low rig essentially

[@leofrontera3515]

I see more kayaks of late. They seem ok. I'm not the smallest fish in the pond but a bit bigger guy. Feel better in a boat

[@TEAMSTEAM4LIFE]

This by the 648 bridge? I’m pretty sure I see my brother’s boat in this video haha

anyway nice catch!

[@bassmoore2083]

Thank you very much for watching ! was a blast out there

[@drvelocci]

I caught about 100 perch at my cottage lake today

[@bassmoore2083]

drvelocci that’s great ! I only have access to them in numbers during the winter months

[@drvelocci]

BassMoore it’s actually crazy. I found this spot. And literally the whole water is perch filled

[@bassmoore2083]

drvelocci man that’s awesome . In Maryland everyone knows about just about every spot haha . Not much to fish around here

[@swefishers9529]

im from sweden laughing, theese perch are small to me, i catch perch up to 2 or 3 kg in sweden xD

[@lewiscartlidge4967]

Me too, in malmö kanal we have perch around 50 cm

[@deancarver6899]

Did your parents never teach you not to play with the bait?? hook those minnows up and catch the bigguns.. Total sarcasm btw. Tight lines!

[@bassmoore2083]

Dean Carver haha I started off using minnows but it was so cold my hands were freezing going into the tank to get them haha

[@edmoore3910]

ive tried watching hundreds of perch video. its a matter if your on the fish.

[@adambentley4773]

[@AnluPemak]

And where were the "big" ones?

[@bassmoore2083]

Those are bigger for my area

[@SpinachMinich]

You catch a northern pike on that second one?

[@huntermackenzie6951]

That was a pickerel

[@rider660r]

Hahaha,that isn't a Shad Dart......just a plain old roundhead jig. Hopefully is the last almost 6 yrs you've learned what a real Shad Dart looks like.

[@NickleNinja2]

When you actually catch fish , the feather gets wet … when it gets wet .. it looks like that .. shad dart 101 for ya

[@rider660r]

@@NickleNinja2 LMAO You're wrong,Buckwheat....when you actually fish you know the differences. You and ding dong bAssmoore better do a search on a Shad Dart jig so you see the difference instead of guessing at it..

Where are the large yellow perch? I saw small ones. probably about 7 inches. Saw title & expected 13-15 inch perch. Click bait for sure.

[@bassmoore2083]

Thanks for watching .. where I am from . 13-15 inch yellows are crushing state records

[@BBBYpsi]

I fish Lake Erie in Western basin & sometimes Detroit river for yellow perch. I have had a double of 13 1/2 & 14 1/2 inches on the same time on Detroit River in 6 foot of water. I usually throw back unless they are at least 8 inches. Depending on how big they are running sometimes do not keep anything under 9 inches. On occasion you can only keep 10 inches & better. 50 per person is the limit which on Erie can be a very easy limit. Had 4 man limit in under 1 1/2 hours before (yes 200 9 plus inch perch). But if you want to see where the real monster perch are in the USA check out cascadia lake in Idaho. Just monsters.

[@maryclouser3748]

they was some that was 10 inch or better

[@rolandmine6693]

thats a pike not a perch

[@bassmoore2083]

Ah yes, I do like to catch them as well.. Fun fight in the cold months !

[@maryclouser3748]

it a perch

[@LeSuperFishe]

Nice pickerel but you should keep him there eating delicious fish like perch bass and whatnot in lakes its better to throw the delicious ones away to conserve the school of fish then eat the fish eating other fish our lakes are infested with chain pickerel thanks to a douchebag in texas now our salmon bass and recently our atlantic white fish are at risk because of there eating habits and being a invasive species in canada
