ReplyDeleteHmmmm, Do you think the perch are that big in Spirit Lake? I wonder how many people that would feed.
ReplyDeleteprobably not, the Nile River is a lot bigger than Spirit lake. But that would feed a lot of people, we would have leftovers for days!
ReplyDeleteGpa caught 9 perch off the dock last night, but I think this fish would have eaten all of them.
