Excerpt from Shooting and Fishing in the Rivers, Prairies, and Backwoods of North America, Vol. 2 of 2
This fish is called by some fishermen the grumbler, from the noise which it makes in water under the bottom of a boat, - a kind Of hoarse murmur, which sounds like a growl. This grumbling pecu liarity is very Odd. If you make the slightest noise against the bottom of the boat, as by tapping, it ceases immediately but as soon as all is quiet again, it recommences. It is only heard, moreover, when the weather is fine. The white perch is from fifteen to twenty inches long; but I have seen them occasionally much larger, up to four and even Six pounds. Six weeks after they return to the rivers, their flesh acquires a dazzling whiteness but during the summer heats the fish grows thin, and loses its decided sea-water flavour.
