Over the moon! Certainly the longest Perch I’ve had out the Kennet & Avon Canal. 41cm to the fork. 3lb 2oz. In beautiful condition. Where has she been hiding all this time?!
Lure was the HTO Flail. This time in orange. An active decision on colour after seeing how well Dan did on worm imitations the week before.

Nice pics to show her creamy belly! I love the strong colour for winter perch too.

Thanks Shota. It really was a beautiful Perch. Not many get this big in the canal without a few battle scars. A wise old lady me thinks :0)

Good work, looks like you’re not missing your old non-HTO lures too much !

Cheers mate. Nice of you to say so. Think I’m close to being able to compete with pure HTO. Very happy.

Great pictures to do the fish justice Adam. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone take pictures of the release like that and I’m now left wondering why not! I especially like the final picture, might have to steal that idea from you.

Thanks for your comments. I found myself lying in the mud, reaching down with the net for the release and taking photos. Must have looked pretty odd to the dog walkers! Be my guest :0)
