Back out to American Lake today for some more perch. Went back to the south end of the lake again, and it didn't let me down. Probably caught 50 perch and kept 21 that were between 10 and 13 inches. Another nice batch of filets for the freezer. Met a biologist from the game department at the boat launch. She counted and measured maybe half of the fish. She said she checked two other boats that were fishing for perch. All they caught was small ones. Wow, I don't know what to say. Anyway, she filled me in on another bit of information I didn't know. I had heard rumors of largemouth in American, but was skeptical. Well, she took care of that. She showed me photos of a shocking did last year. Though not many, largemouth up to 5 lbs were pictured. She said most came from Little American Lake.
