I don't think most people would want to use whole perch as bait. Perch eyeballs are killer perch bait and tipping a jig with a little piece of perch meat for predators I think are the intended uses. Illegal stocking is a big problem in Utah, and perch are just one of the fish moved regularly. Walleye and largemouth moving is a big problem in the basin. People also like to move around green sunfish, bluegill, black bullhead and channel cats. Last time I read a California proclamation they allowed the use of live sunfish on the lower Colorado river near Yuma. They didn't even specify the species. Heck, sunfish could mean redear, pumkinseed, crappie, green sunfish, bluegill, or dang near anything. Hmmmm.
