New State-Record Perch Comes Through the Ice in Iowa
New State-Record Perch Comes Through the Ice in Iowa
On Sunday, March 7, 2010, Bob Ruff of Garnavillo, Iowa, landed a perch while ice fishing a bayou of the Mississippi River’s Pool 11 that turned out to be a new state record. The jumbo yellow-belly weighed 2 pounds, 6 ounces. This fish breaks the old record, shared by three other anglers, by 3 ounces.

nice perch!
That is bigger than most the bass I catch, good job and congratulations.
Jeez nice perch. If I was that guy though, I would have a smile on my face though, haha
More meat on that one fish than the total of most of my ice fishing trips for perch this winter! 1 ft of water under the ice is crazy, guess he didn't need a Vexilar to tell him what depth to fish.
thats a nice perch nice job man landing that fish
nice perch congrats
Nice big perch, congrats
Looks like a football! Congrats.
What a monster! Great to hear about big healthy fish coming from a once heavily polluted habitat.
That thing is huge, and to think he has been pulling in 2 pounders for a while. Awsome!
Hope it was released....
He definitely does look happy about the catch!
Man don't look too happy! lol
Hes a serious guy!
I imagine he was expecting something else on the other end of the line when he hauled this one up... I don't know what else could possibly explain that expression of disgust.
That's one of the most beautiful fish I have ever seen! I wish I could see it up close. Good job by the way
Wish I could catch one that big
that fish looks bigger than my foot!!! congratulations!
What an awsome perch
nice perch. my record (personally)is only half a pound.
What a cranky old dude. Good for him on the perch though, sounds like he has a pattern down!
That'll make some nice fillets,good job.
My dad has been trying to catch a perch that is a master let alone a record. Congrats but seriousley you need to lighten up a little!
Jeez. That thing could scare 12 inch bass away.
These perch are huge ive never seen them this big!
The ones ive caght up here in utah are tiny compared to these.
That is a beautiful fish
