Stour perch falls to a worm

Big perch love worms, and Iain McDonald used this to his advantage when he targeted the species on the Kentish Stour.

Two dendrobaena worms trundled beneath an overhanging tree on the far bank saw the local big-fish expert induce a take that produced this pristine stripey weighing 2lb 12oz.

His simple two swan shot rig was made up on 4lb line with a size 12 hook.
