Blue Perch!!

I caught this odd perch yesterday on Chateaguay Lake. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen one of these.

RE: Blue Perch!!

Sort of looks like a perch / walleye cross.
If it was mine I woud freeze it and talk to the DNR game bioligest if you have them in your state

RE: Blue Perch!!

I am no biologist but I have the answer.........It is feeling blue because it has been caught.

I am going to get it mounted. I never thought the first fish I had mounted would be an 8" perch. LOL

RE: Blue Perch!!

There wasn't three eyes on the other side of that fish by any chance? Does it glow in the dark? Kinda funny looking, but nature has a funny way of doing things sometimes, doesn't it!

pretty neat though!
