    European perch (P. fluviatilis) as found in NZ grow much bigger than the yellow perch (P. flavescens) in North America.

    Ken oath they are.
    My biggest landed in a lake near Dunedin is 4lb 12oz and I lost an absolute horse that I estimated at nearer 6 than 5.
    My biggest in the UK was only 3 odd.
    NZ is a perch fishing Mecca

    It definitely is, but there's no challenge, too easy.
