I think it depends on the specific lake you're fishing. 5 years ago, the perch were dinky in Pineview. Anythin 8" or better was rare. Now, 8" is a minimum with good numbers bigger. With crappie this year, they seem to be a full 1" or better bigger than they were last year. Just my observations on one lake...
