This was my first time catching a perch and eating it too.

Nice one!

I caught two nice perch yesterday on a kayak trip, but not quite as big as that one.

Try using a slightly smaller hook and bait piece and you'll likely pick up more perch in the same location, but smaller. In my experience they often tend to be a strongly schooling fish, meaning where there's one, there's often ten or more!
