Canal sessions don't get any better than this! - Adam Jones

“On Sunday I had a ridiculous lure fishing session on my local stretch of canal. 

In an hour I hooked 11 perch over 2lb 6oz on a Junebug TRD lure of which five were over 3lb, but the best fish by far was a new PB and an absolute beast of 4lb 5oz.

In the first six minutes of my session I had four casts and caught three perch all over 43cm long, with two of them weighing over 3lb, including the 4lb 5oz fish. 

I remember the excitement I felt watching her surface and roll into my net. It’s a fantastic memory that will never leave me. Not wanting to hold the fish in the net and stress them out, a mate and I took some photos and watched them swim off.

Over the rest of the hour, I managed about 20 casts and ended up landing a fish every other chuck. I just thought canal sessions don’t get any better than this.

I was truly over the moon – firstly to break my PB but more importantly to have witnessed this unreal fish and also her entire extended family in a crazy, beautiful and completely mad hour of fishing!”
