Thanks!  We didnt master the species by any means.  We had a small cluster of them come thru and were lucky enough to catch just one a piece, within a couple minutes of eachother.  And then it was back to hammering dink yellow perch for the duration...

The day I caught/hooked/marked tons I could buy even a tiny perch, for whatever reason.  After that I just got them around the dink Perch like you guys did.  Out there in the void I hole hop a lot, for any species.  Seems to make a difference when the fish are mostly relating to acres of mostly featureless flats.

Nice catch Doc! That's a tough one.
