This yellow perch is about as big as they get. My son Jon and I got out on the ice today. We were just jigging, and it was all yellow perch. I got this big one on a small Kastmaster tipped with a plastic maggot.
We continue to see the thickest ice in a decade especially away from the coast. Looks like the ice fishing is going into March this year!

| Ice fishing remains hot in RI and nearby MA. This huge perch that I jigged up today was the highlight of the day. |
