fresh water perch? invasive ones? back home people go out of their way to catch those, generally pretty easy to catch so long as their there.

Yeah the freshwater type of perch. I don't discriminate against humans so I don't discriminate fish either. If they are there, I just catch them. So hamilton gardens is out...looks like I have to go to those bigger hamilton lakes... any recommendation?
