I just learned last week from a post on another board that they are in Ky Lake now. They are considered an invasive species by most. Can't be nearly as bad as these dang Asian Carp we now have almost every where.
 
They are in many lakes and rivers in GA
 
Perch are one of the best tasting fish you can catch, they are a member of the walleye family. Do you have walleye that far south? I have not had the chance to fish south of Hickory NC where my step son and his family live.
 
ive only seen 1 it was caught out of lanier by my mom fishing with a worm and bobber. id like to try to catch some and see exactly how tasty they are
 
they were illegally introduced into the tallapoosa river chain in alabama as well. my mom has caught a few cork and worm fishing as well.
