I woke up it it was raining. I really didn't care though, so i went out to mercer island to do some fishing. I forgot what beach i was at, but there were only a couple of people there. had a bunch of bites. managed to catch a few. When I was about to leave, imy pole started to bounce like crazy. When i reeled in ,it was the largest perch i have ever seen or caught. It measured 15in
