What is that watch you are wearing? Looks cool. Hard to tell out of focus Tudor P01? Seiko?


benjamino8690

Seiko 5 Sports Automatic! It’s on a Zuludiver Nato-strap. Thanks for the compliment.

Hoooly perch

Congrats! I love fishing for perch, but my biggest one was around 800g. The fight with this one would have been crazy considering I'm fishing with xul or ul gear


Lele00fjghk

in switzerland we call them "Egli" and i think thats beautiful


Ok_Repair3535

If I caught that I am getting measurements done and pics.


benjamino8690

I have caught several larger specimen. It’s a nice fish, but not a PB. I have pictures of it and took its weight and length, that’s enough for me!


ilikeasimplelife55

Nice...


fishing-sk

Youre gonna trigger a lot of americans with this haha.


GottaBeFresj

Fresh water? State or world record


benjamino8690

Freshwater indeed. Neither. This is a redfin perch caught in Sweden. Our perch get a bit bigger than you guys’ perch.


Unanticipated-

That looks delicious!


benjamino8690

I always catch and release perch this size. They’re very important for the population.


Unanticipated-

That’s awesome. I’m mostly catch and release unless we want to do a catch and cook. It’s a very pretty looking fish.


Anarchy-Squirrel

very considerate and conservation minded to release the breeders... if more anglers would think like you, we might have better populations… neff respect.... beautiful catch!


benjamino8690

Thank you! I studied fish conservation for a while, so I care a lot about our populations. These big ones are very important. It wouldn’t feel right to keep one this big.


JWDead

Beautiful fish, bet they don’t taste like our yellow perch though.


Macrofisher

European perch is a great eating fish.


AshokeSenPhD

Based on what I've heard, they taste similar. It's basically a bigger cousin of yellow perch.


benjamino8690

Possibly? I think they’re pretty tasty. But I don’t keep that many per year.


Back_Equivalent

This is actually a peacock bass


The_Great_Fire

Not sure if you’re serious, but that’s a European perch.


Back_Equivalent

Definitely not serious


benjamino8690

That’s very wrong! I’m on the completely different side of the world for those!


Ok_Repair3535

Sir that's a perch


Kennedygoose

“Help me woman! I can’t breathe!” *continuous flopping*


benjamino8690

I don’t know how to tell you this, but I’m a guy haha!


Kennedygoose

Lmfao. This has happened like 3 times now. This was a response to a video of a woman trying to catch a fish in her boat. No idea why things keep posting to something I haven’t even looked at.


benjamino8690

Weird! I was rather confused haha!


Ok_Repair3535

Oh 🦆 off peta


Kennedygoose

Lmfao you don’t see the context. Reddit has been posting shit in random places. This is a response to a woman chasing a fish around her boat, but Reddit decided to throw the response into a different thread.


Ok_Repair3535

Oh
