I have had this perch for a week now in my live well and he is pretty cool looking. Just wondering what real fisherman would do this guy is a trooper living in my backyard in 10 degree weather! I've been feeding him worms...

He's pretty cool lookin I say let him live

Arlington is having 10 degree weather?

Let him live.

Flathead season is coming up.

live please he looks nice

If those cats figure out a way to get him out of there it is all over. (not catfish but the stray cats that live under the barn)

Looks good keep feeding him add some redbreast that tank will look awesome !

thats some great bait, keep him alive but peirce him in the back

x2!! Fatten him up till may then feed him to a big ole yella!!!!

I wonder if something from outer space is looking at us right now and thinking the same thing (Kill or let Live?).

Oh probably not – KILL the little burger!

Not! Let it go

chop that sucker up

Cute or not.... That's a wrap.....CUT HIM!!!!

filet him with a mess of other fish next trip. that bream meat is very tasty!

Don't think it's anywhere near 10 degrees outside in Arlington...it's 43 in Las Colinas at the moment...that aside I'd definitely rig him through the back with a big circle hook and live bait him for a big blue/flathead/largemouth bass.

Looks like a coppernose bluegill.

Sell him on e-bay

I do know my pet likes them.

Looks like bait to me.

I left a perch in my livewell for over two weeks. We had a bad cold spell and the pipes under my house even broke, but that perch made it. Soon as I got to lake i let him go

I missed a LMB and left it in my dry livewell for a couple weeks one summer. Took bleach to finally get rid of the smell.

i know my dad always is talkin about how the best fish he ever had for an aquarium was a bunch of perch. they were colorful and very active. I would look into either a kiddie pool and fill it up and start a small pond in it by giving him some friends, aka other baitfish that make it through the trip or just use him on a line some time. Another option if you have it available is that a lot of people will keep fish in cow troughs to keep the algae down. Mine at home is full of Bass Minnows, goldfish and something that looks like a tiny carp that hasnt grown in 2 years....lol its as big as a large bass minnow...lol

put him on the hook!

I agree with fattening him up, then OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!!

no bankfisher!!!!the fish is very pretty!!!!!here pretty fishy!!....lol

no mercy...bait

he does look really cool id say keep him alive and release him... but put a hook thru his back when you do. he might look cool but i think a big ol blue will look better

perch looks cool but monster blues look better

i say...use him for bait and if nothing hits him all night and he is alive when you are leavin, release him either back in the river or in an aquarium...lol

Come on guys, CPR everything.

Let live and set him free on a 3 way rig, so he can swim around as much as he wants in a 18 in circle.

Release him to get eaten another day, or release him with a circle hook to get eaten and see what you reel in.

Cut em!

AWWWW him look so sweet. I will give you a $1.00 for him. I will need him at Lavon this weekend. I need to pop a 50 lbs flatty

What a hawg!

Look at his pretty eyes, No way you could kill a beauty like that!





Hook him through the eyes

I have a 150 gallon I keep a couple sunnies in... keep him!

breed him

looks like bait to me!!!

He was caught, photographed, now for the release. ON THREE HOOKS. CUT THAT SUCKER UP

looks like a family pet to me.......

glue some fangs on him and tell everyone it is a prehistoric pearch
