Two huge perch caught by angler fishing Norfolk river

Catching a 3lb-plus perch is a dream for many anglers, so you can imagine Tom Lamb’s delight when he took this fine pair of 3lb 12oz and 3lb 14oz fish during a recent session. 

The 31-year-old targeted a section of the River Bure in Norfolk with floatfished livebaits, and smashed his personal best for the species twice in just a single afternoon. 

Tom told Angling Times: “I’ve had a fantastic winter catching perch – taking five over 3lb and at least 30 over the 2lb mark – but to break my old personal best of 3lb 10oz twice on the same day has been the icing on the cake.”
