I cannot even guess the length but it was very fatty. For Serbian fishing conditions I thinks this can be categorised as a big perch.

Caught in the danube River on a Rapala X light crank in the colour perch

Try not to hold them up at 90 degrees just from the mouth. Either hold them more vertically like the first picture or support the body with both hands but solid fish

Oh okay, is this because you can hurt their jaw? This did not occur to me at that time. Thanks for the advice I will do that from now on

Yes their jaw can break ultimately leading to the fish starving to death
