Andy April 10, 2017 at 11:44 am Reply I am going to put my money on the Perch Queen. However, given his early arrival at VBL he is going to have to squirm all year wondering if his bull perch will stand up.
Dustin Kaehr April 10, 2017 at 12:50 pm Reply With the PQ being absent the last couple of years, I hope he can still fish with that big chip on his shoulder! Should be an interesting year to watch the battle!
Kurt April 10, 2017 at 7:27 pm Reply Well as Gord try’s so very hard to drum this competition up Paul and myself have been emailing back and forth and have decided to pick a size for this year and settle on a tie only to have to watch Gord clean hundreds of perch this season. Information is being shared by the 2 of us and Gords Facebook page along with VBL’s Facebook page will be plastered with pictures of poor Gord filleting perch after perch
Paul Fulka April 24, 2017 at 1:28 pm Reply Agreed. Kurt and I have shared all our secrets baits and secret fishing spots so catching the biggest perch is no longer a challenge. The trophy will go the person who can post the most embarrassing picture of Gord cleaning Perch.
Gord April 24, 2017 at 6:08 pm Reply It will be so embarrassing when neither of you win the trophy………
Dustin Kaehr April 10, 2017 at 7:53 pm Reply Kurt…we are there the week after…so fish early in the week so Gord has time to recover!
PJShorthorn April 10, 2017 at 11:38 pm Reply Is that an electric fillet knife in the background of the Perch Queen photo? I knew it, Gord is not the master of all things fillet…… The shame this now brings upon himself at the beginning of a new season is just ………awkward ? PJ
Gord April 11, 2017 at 8:15 am Reply Two comments. Obviously the “Perch Queen” has grown out of touch with VBL over his absence, and the new fish cleaning guidelines. Let me quote: “All perch cleaning at the discretion of the management”. Bring a knife! Secondly, yes PJ, a very good observation regarding the electric knife. Kurt and Mark thought they could challenge me to a race with their electronic gadgetry…….they were wrong. I was also very disappointed they wrote their names and dates all over the fish house walls in red marker. What bastards!
Professor April 11, 2017 at 9:28 am Reply Friends, bloggers and lurkers…I hope all of you can see how one man, Gord, can whip-up a frenzied response in people too consumed with “perch lust” to remain rational. Frankly, I find it disturbing. What else could possibly explain the Perchmaster with a bottle of Bud Light in each hand? The delicious beechwood-aged flavor? No This is a classic symptom of “perch-lust”. I’m not taking Gord’s bait. But, I will do my best in the competition–even if that means fishing sober.
Frank April 11, 2017 at 8:31 pm Reply I heard a rumor that only one perch may be entered into this year’s contest. That should make it an interesting game of strategy. Do you keep that 11.75 inch perch or let it go in hopes of getting a bigger one. No culling allowed. you need to make the decision as soon as you catch the fish. Is a bird in the hand really better than two in the bush?
