Perch, the biggest fish of all, ,,,,,,, twice!
Hello chaps and fellow perchers'.
I posted on the canal section on, I think the 18th sept, about my new PB perch 2lb5oz,
Now I've grown up with stories of " before the perch disease we used to catch big perch here and there and this weight and that, " and I've always been envious, because the only perch I've ever caught all my angling life have been about three inches long, all genuinely welcome, vibrant and fearless,
Last year I found a canal where I caught my biggest at 1lb 8oz "I think" and I was up and running, it's taken me years to get past the half pound bracket!
20th September .
So now I'm beaming because of my latest canal capture , I decided to have a little trotting session on the river dove, just to use up the maggots, then the float vanishes and an EPIC fight with a fish using all the fast glides to its advantage, I saw it was a perch and I was scared to death, I knew I had to net and photo this fish because nobody would believe me, I worried about the 18s hook and the two pound line and all the snags the fish was ploughing through!
Eventually eventually slowly the net swallowed the perch, I burst out laughing ,
The hook was almost straight but was difficult to remove, and the weight,,,,,, 2lb 8oz!!
My two biggest perch, happy days, but what on earth is going on?

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish
