I agree with perch hitting anything. I caught one on a heddon mini torpedo topwater buzzbait in a baby bass pattern. The lure was half the size of the perch. Greedy little guys. They must be the rabbits of the fishing world, they mulitply like crazy.
I won't kill anything less than a meal

Ok, just caught another perch yesterday along with an 11 inch trout. The perch was around ten inches and the hook was stuck through the top of its head on the outside of its mouth. My bait was gone so I will still count that as a catch. The hook had a surprising amount of resistance when pulling it out but the fish seemed ok and immediately took off once I set it in the water. Again, thanks for all of the replies guys. I will continue to safely let them go until I catch that monster.
