[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@anavidhunter ... Kyle, thanks AGAIN for all your kind words! My deer sanctuary is to wet to get in and finish my food plots .... so I was forced to go fishing! I must admit, I have NEVER seen anyone that can catch fish like Mark, he is good! Have a great week!

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@SkidinDingo ... Rusty, thanks for the kind words! Believe it or not there was a fisherman out there that day in a Dinghy. Some times there's even people fishing out there in Kayaks.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Great! Please fillet 'em, freeze 'em and send them to ME . . . I will eat them. Now everybody's happy!

[@denisboyko3054]

It's sad seeing u keep big spawing females and then people wonder why there isn't as much perch in lake Michigan

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

Denis Boyko It's sad that you don't know how to fish! Call the Hewinator and he may educate you! I was happy to eat the tasty filets!

[@samiam1150]

+Denis Boyko It doesn't take many perch to repopulate a lake. Reproduction is more dependent on weather conditions, the forage base and predation. If you think that these guys are harming the recourse what do you think that the commercial fishing industry is doing to it by removing the perch by the ton?

Denis Boyko you do realize how big the great lakes are right?

[@richgalbraith6996]

Dennis you are clueless. Don't reply with dumb shit like lake Michigan will go dry for keeping females. That's the dumbest thing today...we are all dumber for reading it.

[@twopassionsfishing386]

Great video friend

[@abelboetsma8063]

hm i remember when the perch fishing in michigan was good

[@bushonry]

Abel B. Still is good.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

bushonry When I was a kid, every Friday night "All You Can Eat" Perch at the Elks Lodge. Piles and piles of big filets! Many restaurants had similar offerings. That was 50 years ago. I haven't tasted deep fried Perch filets since.

[@josephlonechild7969]

10:24 ... "you didn't hookem you fag." thats was unexpected... Funny. 11:48 They got the Hmong move done to them. Happens every time we go fishing. We start catching fish and there they are... Start casting over are lines with there big ass carp poles.

[@ImThinking3]

Hmong move? Dumb ass stfu! That dude was white! Generalizing like a fkn idiot. Every ethnicity pulls that shit. Hispanics, whites, Asian (Hmong), blacks. Other people have done it to me more often then Hmong but you chose to generalize (specifically) by sayin "oh, that's a Hmong move". Dafuq gtfo of here.

Nothing like those jumbo lake Michigan perch them are beautiful and you guys are going to be eating good

[@fishn2gthr4ever]

It is amazing the tussle gills put out for their size. Another excellent video my friends!

[@oregonpatriot1570]

Growing up in west Michigan, we would fish off the pier at Holland state park. A 'double set-up rod' in each hand, paying more attention to the bikini clad girls walking past than our rods. But always keen to what the rod felt like so we didn't miss the bite. Five gallon buckets full of jumbo perch after several hours was normal. Fun times!

[@MrWhiltetail]

Very nice! I haven't seen a limit of perch like that up here in Muskegon since I was a kid back in the late 70's or early 80's. I will probably go to my grave before catching a limit like that. :-)

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@HDMann292 ... lol ... That's just the oil that's left ... because they're long gone!

[@cumberlandgapjimbow7897]

Nice jumbo's, I use to perch fish the lake back in the 70's-80's. I fished mainly from the old armory pier (which is gone now) up to Oak St. Beach off the concrete. Olive Park terrace was a hot spot back then. We would catch 100 a day sometimes. We would use a seine in the Des Plains river and catch soft shell crawfish and pinkies with maggots for bait.

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

Thanks a bunch! Have a great season!

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@iammufo ... Don't bother? ... Who are YOU, to tell me what to do?! BLOCKED!!!!

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@darrenmcgarry100 It will work from shore. Most of the Perch are out in deeper water though.

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

Depth is around 50 feet. We move around often so it's both. If you go out you'll see all the boats.

[@BBVDZX14]

He's basically doing what us shore guys call "Perch Jerkin" or Vertically fishing for perch. I grew up perch jerkin in Calumet Park at the end of 95th St. using cane poles or extendable poles, 5 gallon buckets set up with rod holders and our 3 assortments of bait. (night crawlers, minnows, and soft shelled crabs) My father and I spent alot of quality time down there... some of the best memories I have of him.

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@ALBINOSSMALLBIGCATS ... thank you for viewing and giving me a thumbs up!

[@stephen88hox]

@Atyriss95 perch like to hang about near trees and underwater branchs and they hunt in packs, good tip from the uk use live minnows for perch youl soon find the daddy

[@darrenmcgarry100]

Does this rig work from the shore, or would it have to be dropped straight down off of a boat? I am only 20 and I don't have a boat. -Thanks

[@bobg69]

I haven't been perch fishing in years, I never seen anyone catch perch like that in Michigan in well over 20yrs. Would love to get in to some of that action!! I have seen pictures of my grandfather with perch like that when my father was a kid. Miss the family fishing trips to the Saginaw bay ice fishing or out on the boat. Thanks for showing those mouth watering perch. Keep up the great work!!!

[@olhippie1]

Good video, but you never show doodly about the bait. The rig yes, but not a word on bait. Whats with that?

[@gusonebear]

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@AMERICANCATTER ... Thank you for your kind words! Have a great season!

[@jigsjigsnwigs3409]

Suggestion for rigging. Based on my experience... Instead of tying your sinker directly to your line. Use a snap swivel. Then you can remove and/or add sinkers as needed for traveling or when water conditions dictate a heavier or lighter sinker based on water conditions, without having to retie. Basic drop shot rigging can also work better for connecting hooks versus making loops and and adding more leader line.( use the standard Palomar knot for adding hooks) This will help reduce tangles by about ninety percent.

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@ElvisOsama ... Sweet! So you know all about these good eatin fish!

[@fullyloadedM4]

What is the depth you were fishing? Do you use that same rig for suspended fish? Anchored or drifting?

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

@fishn2gthr4ever ... Thanks Again! Have a awesome season!
