The only one I've ever caught

The only one I've ever caught was a little over 5 inches long.  It's on my lifelist on here.  It looks like these are in about that same size range, which is pretty cool!  I really like these little dudes, one of my favorite micro species.......

 

 

 

Let there be fire!

A giant Logperch Moose caught

A giant Logperch Moose caught from the Ozarks.  Dudes got some big ass mitts too. They say Logperch reach 8 inches.  This one was probably around 6.

I've had them to 6.5-7" and saw a few that were definitely bigger. I bet in an artificial environment, it would be possible to grow a real porker logperch.

I've read documentation of 7.

I've read documentation of 7.5-inch Roanoke logperch too, even though they're usually 3-4 inches.  I still haven't caught one though.

Log Perch in the Ozarks

I've only caught one so far, but it was on a 1/8 oz trout jig. I think 6 inch one are common here. Guys catch them routinely on smallish inline spinners. I'll have to figure out the photo uploading thing and start photographing the dish I catch. Extensive life list , but few that have been photographed.

science?
i wonder if you could genetically engineer or breed log perch and pike. they're closely related so i don't see why not.
