That's a cracker. I would be chuffed if I had caught it.

Every right to be smug Richard, a cracking Perch, well done mate.

Well done on showing the way to the unenlightened ones too, they don't like it up em you know.

Wal.

Cane rules! Well done on such a magnificent specimen, a wonderful fish to catch and a poke in the eye for the carbonites....Chris Yates would be proud of you!

A lovely fish Richard, like you I had never caught one of the bigger Perch, but within the last two years I caught a P.B Perch of 2lb 10ozs!!

Bigger than I've ever caught and what a stunning fish, well done Rich.

An ounce over my pb too Rich. Persistence along with instinct makes it an outstanding catch. Using a bicycle pump to make it look bigger though, is questionable

I would stay in "smug mode" for at least a month if I caught that great perch, well done.

A lovey fish twice the size of my pb but I am working on it

What a lovely big perch

Well done keep up the looking smug they were obviously talking carp(not sure I've spelt that correctly)
