Keep this in mind....
The Chubs were there first. The perch were an illegal addition by an unethical schmuck. If the perch hadn't been bucket planted I suspect the predator/prey balance would be in line. As for kids catching the chubs...I bet they enjoy it more than you think.
It's us adults that put predjudices into a childs mind. Just let 'em love it. They can figure out the good fish/bad fish thing later in life.
Just my $.02
