White perch is 1st cousin to a striped bass (much smaller, and without the
stripes)

Also same family as white bass. In my neck of the woods, I occasionally ran
into schools where I'd get a strike almost every cast, and they were mixed
schools, both white bass and white perch. Lots of fun on a 4# outfit. Those
fish would hit like a ton of bricks.
