Four perch to 4lb 6oz banked...

Perch fanatic Joe Royffe continued his impressive form for big stripeys again this week when he banked four specimens for nearly 16lb. 

They weighed 4lb 6oz, 4lb 3oz, 3lb 15oz and 3lb 3oz and all fell to livebait tactics fished on his local stretch of the River Lee Navigation. 

He said: “I landed the 4lb 6oz perch, but it was while unhooking this one that the other rod sprung into life and I soon had two big perch in the net at the same time, with the smaller one going 3lb 3oz.”
