Some people suggest it isn't even from Oz! Hope it is as it is a great size redfin. Anybody know anything about it? Also, had a bit of a chuckle reading through this thread again! :-D
cheers

1st question i have to say is, is it genuine or photoshop. It appears to me to be a little suspect considering the European max size around the 3kg mark and here is a link to some to compare

Big Perch

UK record

Considering the size of the 6lb perch and that this is supossed to be 10lb, i think it is bogus and prob a doctored photo of a carp. If i am wrong then i appologise, but based on the picture i have my doubts.

I believe it could be genuine. Just with an 'inflated' size estimate. Holding the fish out in front is always going to make it look bigger.

Like davos whitebait marlin :fish11: :icon_lolz:
Just got this off Wikipedia
European perch can vary greatly in size between bodies of water. They can live for up to 22 years, and older perch are often much larger than average; the maximum recorded length is 60 cm (24 in). The British record is 2.8 kg (6 lb 2 oz), but they grow larger in mainland Europe than in Britain. As at Aug 2012, the official all tackle world record, as recognised by the International Game Fish Association stands at 2.9 kg (6 lb 6 oz) for a Finnish fish.[2] In January 2010 a perch with a weight of 3.75 kg (8 lb 4 oz) has been caught in the River Meuse, Netherlands.[3] Due to the low salinity levels of the Baltic Sea, especially around the Finnish archipelago and Bothnian Sea, many freshwater fish live and thrive there. Perch especially are in abundance and grow to a considerable size due to the diet of Baltic herring.
Cheers, Scott.
