Incredible 4lb 14oz perch landed
Young Teddy Towner was the envy of all anglers when he banked this tremendous 4lb 14oz perch.
The nine-year-old was being treated by his dad to an afternoon’s fishing on a private stretch of river in Essex when the near-5lb stripey devoured his roach livebait. Teddy’s mum told Angling Times: “He was very happy and has always loved fishing but he doesn’t get out that often. Now he is itching to get back out there. This is a fish of a lifetime that he will remember for the rest of his life!”
