Awesome! Doesn't really matter how big the fish are, as long as you're having fun!

Beauty!
Are your sure that's a perch and not a peacock bass?
Great looking fish!

Ha! That's great. Don't feel bad about the facial expression, I've been fishing for about 40yrs and still get a goofy smile on my face when I catch a fish.
Congrats!!!

Nice perch. The sport of fishing has so many enjoyable moments. The wildlife- like watching Ospreys fishing on the same lake, and many other animal species while at the lake. Your persistence will pay off with a lot of trout soon. Thanks for posting.

Congrats on your first. That's a decent size perch. I think you have caught more Perch then most of us so far this season.

You'll always remember your first. I caught my first fish.....a catfish.. 67 years ago and can still hear the crickets and smell the evening air.

Well, I caught the smallest trout of the day, thank goodness it was an easy and quick release back into the water and away her went!
Went out to east pit for 6:00am. We went to the north shore, however we watched a guy on the south shore pull 13 out of the lake before we caught our first fish 5 hours later between the three of us that went! (Mind you he was able to cast about 4x's as far as I could!) I had a bunch of bites and my bait stolen more then should be legal. But I could literally go fishing ever week! I love this hobby, now to start slowly building my tackle box!!

Lakes like East pit I find are very good for fly fishing. I have not become capable of using a "fly rod", but a float (acting as a strike indicator) about 4-6 ft from a fly- Green or black leeches work great. Maintain your persistence and you will be rewarded. There are very nice sized trout in East pit.

And it is hard to catch perch from that pond.
