When I was a youth the school caretaker was in the angling times once with a big perch specimen. Good old boy who organised a few school fishing trips. Proud as punch he was for being in the AT

Had a hour on canal with leftover lobworms from few days ago getting loads of small perch couple about half pound then second to last cast got this nice one. All within a meter of bank tight up to a weedbed think something may have had a go at it not that long ago with marks on rear end

Biggest i have had is 3lb 12oz, Problem is unless you have a stroke of luck there are millions of smaller ones to get through before you finally hit that big one, last season i lost count of the amount of 2-3lb perch i caught and didn't really give it a thought, but go back 3 or 4 years and i would have been made up with one over 2lb.
