In Australia we call them Red Fin, and they are classified an invasive species that can not be released when caught. They can grow upwards of ten pounds in some water ways and make good eating. Looked like you had a lot of fun George, that's what it's all about.

I knew you had them over there but I didn’t know they needed to be killed! We have a similar rule with Zander, they’re supposed to be killed but no one does. Do people ignore the rules and put perch back? I didn’t know they got to 10lb that’s crazy!

I have never caught redfin in the Murray river anywhere near ten pounds, those big fellas were caught in irrigation drainage lakes. that were not easily accessed. The water that filled the lakes had been drawn from the Murray river transported via open cut channels to irrigate properties then drained in those lakes. I have also caught them to that size in major water reservoirs and compounds that were constructed to hold vast amounts of water for town and city domestic use.@@KZreadTookMyNickname.WhyNot
