5 & 1/2 lb, 19 inch perch

I was reading an article in In-Fisherman and saw a monster perch.

Then I noticed it was a redfin perch, I thought, don't all perch have red fins this time of the year? As I read more I noticed this was in Spain. Got me thinking, I wonder if we could import some of these fish.    You'd only have to bring home and clean one to make a good meal.

As of May 2016, the official all tackle world record recognized by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) stands at 2.9 kg (6 lb 6 oz) for a Finnish fish caught September 4, 2010.
