Open Water Jumbo Perch on the Mississippi River - In Depth Outdoors TV S16 E15

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Awesome! It’s tough to beat a jumbo perch bite no matter where it is! Nice job!!

[@d-and-routdoors9055]

Wow! Some nice perch there Pat and PJ. Love the show! Keep up the good work! Tight lines! Fish on!

[@outdoorswithwaynek7966]

That was awesome Pat and PJ I've fished out of Pool 6 a hand full of time and got some big girls like that. I'm thinking the Fox here in Green Bay will be ready for open water by St. Pat's day. Thanks for sharing tight lines.

Great video! Really nice perch!

[@JimBowSlice]

There was a 2.5 lb 17" perch caught on Saginaw bay in the frozen frenzy. This weekend and the leading walleye is 14.5 lbs

[@tannerbotwright960]

No need to blast that fishery theres enough of us knuckleheads over here already🤣

[@DieHardAngling]

[@308Fishing]

Need more open water shows!

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

We sure do! The boat center is rigging up my skeeter as we speak! As soon as it's ready we're hitting open water!

[@swccgtothemoon3296]

This video has me jonesing for open water fishing!! Screw this ice!

[@snipersam204]

Pj looks different when you dont see those big white boots lol

[@pikehunter23750]

That and seeing Pat without flip flops.

What part of the Mississippi river do you fish the perch

[@enchantedwine]

Wisconsin RIver walleyes this spring? Mosinee, Du Bay

[@InDepthOutdoorsTV]

We're about to switch over to full on open water mode after a couple more ice shows! I'm sure we'll be chasing walleye all over the place, lakes and rivers!

[@walleyperch]

Amazing fishing and no one else there….

[@mikehillberg1589]

Which rods/reels were you guys using?

[@xplicitgtp]

Can you show the scouting you did to find these fish?

[@saltylegion6288]

Can you please give Wyoming some love? We are part of the ice belt also! I've been asking for at least 2 or 3 ice seasons now.

[@jeremymitchell2257]

That would be awesome.

[@jeremymitchell2257]

Something going on with this kind of video this time of year

[@jeremymitchell2257]

Sadly its becoming more for advertising. They maybe one of the last ones telling you what they are using. But the ads are really old.

My favorite fish in the whole world to eat is those YELLOW LAKE PERCH ! If you are keeping some for a fish fry , why on earth would you be letting the ones with all the meat go ??? I just don't understand when you are in a river that has hundreds of thousand of perch in it ? Also, I am curious what the limit is on quantity where you are ? I've fished the Mississippi River where the Black River falls into the mighty river ! You can catch fish there ALL DAY LONG !!!

[@patrickgovier8828]

Lol….

[@JimBowSlice]

Them bigger fish don't taste as good. The 9 and 10 inches are the best to eat imo but I'm spoiled with perch here in Michigan.

[@johnlukasik8045]

@@JimBowSlice I totally disagree with your comment ! For 1 : I've had perch from Lake Michigan that exceeded 16 inches, and they tasted exactly the SAME !!! That might work when you compare a 20 pound rainbow/steelhead to a 6 pound fish , but 3-4 inches larger doesn't change the taste of a Yellow Perch not one bit ! I've also caught and ate a 12 walleye from Lake Erie and it tasted just as good as the 3 & 4 pounders ! Maybe not as tender ?

[@JimBowSlice]

@@johnlukasik8045 i mainly only fish for walleye and perch and to me them over 13" fish have more cartilage and are more likely to have more toxins if they are present in the body of water. I still eat them. But I do throw all walleye over 24" back. I guess it's just personal preference. Like I think the perch on Saginaw bay taste better then lake st Clair perch.

[@Cletus378]

Also......the bigger ones are the most prolific spawners. You keep one of those and you've guaranteed that the thousands of potential new fish to the system have just been removed.

[@jeremymitchell2257]

Yup not a fan. Die hard icefishing person. Not what I expected for th oil s time of year.
