>I remember seeing fish I was used to catching
This didn't happen. The second you splash into that water, they're gone, far enough away from the crash at least that they csn't be spotted by foggy vision in dark green water.

(I'm an avid fisherman despite the dock fall!)
I'm not actually familiar with perch as an adult. I last caught one when I was maybe 8 years old. After googling, I believe they were "yellow perch" (caught in northern Indiana)
I have never been picked up again by my scalp, so I think that's decent reason to believe the memory of the physical sensation is pretty accurate.
There's not a lot else to the memory.
