Bass assassin Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Bass have a white edge on their pelvic fins, Perch are all dark. Perch have a bigger, blacker eye and the scooped forehead. Once you catch a few of both, you’ll notice the differences every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass assassin Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Just to throw more confusion into the mix....could be a hybrid. I reckon Bass though. Most hybrids I’ve got look more like a Bass (body and colour) but with the scooped head, but not as scooped as most Perch. It all gets confusing if you overthink it. Your best bet is to say ‘well, I got this in total fresh, it’s a Bass. Or, I got this in salt, it’s a Perch.’ And yes, I know they cross over. I’ve gotten Perch way up and Bass way down.

JA1990 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Bass and EP are very similar, science states they are two seperate species closely related but IMO they are the same.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
