Your scales are wrong for the fish you are catching as they weigh in 8oz increments up to 50lb. You need to get a set that weigh in ozs up to about 20lb, with a much larger face. Your scales look as if they are for weighing luggage !!

As said, not the best scales for coarse fishing, but nice bream. Around 4lb I would guess and yes what a blue perch.

3-4lb depending on how big you/your net are! Perch often have a Blue tinge some even have a very unmistakeable blue patch on the throat. You need a set of Avon dial scales (32lb or 40lb) can grab them on Ebay cheap enough and for the smaller species don't bother with a weighing sling a good strong carrier bag (one of those with the re enforced handles) is far better/more accurate. (Suit shops often have good ones in and will let you have one )
