Thanks for the comments. I am sure he was not two pounds. I caught a 12 inch at Center Hill Lake a few years back. When I was a boy growing up in Mid TN Black Perch were prevalent in all the streams I fished. They can be hard to come by in streams that once held a healthy population. For years everyone thought they bred like Bluegills...very prolific...but that is not the case. I have read many articles that if you are in a stream and come upon some in a hole only take 2 or 3 and move on....this will keep the population healthy.
