Where in NZ or States?

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

Try fishing at Centennial Park, there are some good size Perch in there.
