Jumbo Perch Madness! Our Best Day Ever on the Water

The Detroit River isn't just a walleye factory—the perch fishing can be absolute madness! In this video, we hit the river for what turned out to be our best day ever on the water. We found a massive school of "Yellow Bellies" and couldn't keep the rods still. ​I’m breaking down the exact vertical rigging, the bait presentation that triggered the double-headers, and how we used our electronics to stay on top of the school. If you want to fill the livewell with Detroit River jumbos, this is the tactical guide you’ve been looking for. ​Inside the Action: ​0:00 – Locating the School: Sonar Breakdown ​2:15 – First Drop: Instant Jumbo! ​5:00 – The "Double-Header" Rigging Technique ​8:30 – Sorting through the school for the true 12"+ Jumbos ​10:45 – Final Catch Count & Release ​Gear & Tackle: ​Rod/Reel: [Link to your light-action Perch setup] ​Bait/Rig: [Link to the specific rig or minnow setup used] ​STAY CONNECTED: For more Detroit River and Lake Erie tactical fishing, hit that SUBSCRIBE button and join the DNF OUTDOORS crew! ​#DNFOutdoors #DetroitRiver #PerchFishing #JumboPerch #LakeErie #FishingOntario #VerticalJigging #YellowPerch
