The Indiana Department of Natural Resources announced that angler Blas Lars recently broke the state record for heaviest yellow perch in April. The world record dates back to 1865.
An Indiana angler made state history after catching a relatively-heavy yellow perch last month. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources made a Facebook post about the catch on May 1. The fisherman, Blas Lars, threw his tackle in Lake Michigan before he caught the record-breaking fish.
Perch growth rates have accelerated over the past few years, with many reaching true trophy sizes at younger ages than in the past,' Indiana DNR Lake Michigan fisheries research biologist Ben Dickinson said in a statement. 'Many anglers have been catching true ‘jumbo’ perch, in the 14- to-17-inch size class over the past two years.'
