Four perch for nearly 16lb!
LEE McManus hit the perch jackpot during his latest visit to a Midlands stillwater by catching four big stripeys for a total weight of 15lb 10oz.
By fishing half a lobworm on a running leger rig at range over a bed of chopped worm, caster and groundbait, the specimen-hunter from Leicestershire received four bites in quick succession resulting in perch of 3lb 5oz, 3lb 9oz, 4lb 1oz and 4lb 11oz.
He told us:
“The largest perch was a special fish as it beat my long-standing PB of 4lb 9oz, which I’d managed to match three times from three different venues until this session.”
