The old Brit record at 5 lb 15 oz
Almost looks like a peacock bass. What a beast. I wonder what the difference is. Water Quality? Food source? Diff Species? Predators? |

I did a some additional research on this story using the posted links as a starting point. One of the "tricks" that this guy used was to feed the fish in the spot he wanted to target for 3 weeks prior casting a line in the targeted spot.
So to me this was more like catching a free range domesticated fish rather then a truly wild fish. He also "chummed" the waters in the spot he was fishing.

Since it is illegal to do that here, its highly unlikely that we will ever see wild yellow perch that size in our locality. |
