Not me Danny - had a few jack pike years ago, but have been saltwater only for 8 years or more. If we do this pike trip next weeekend that may change!

 

[Danny Parkins]

I'm sure Vidar & Andy will have some pics of some monster monster perch, pike and zander, Danny.

I really should pay more attention to this part of the forum.

Nah, I don't catch big fish, Vidar does. Just call me Mr Average :-D Things they are a changing though ;-)

Here are some pictures of perch that was a part of a 12 fish haul on a few mad afternoon hours on a well-known southern reservoir. I had 12 perch that day, all weighing in between 2.6Ib and 3.3Ib and three of them were over 3Ib.

Nice catch Vidar.
Perch are a pretty fish for a predator spieces, 3lb is a very nice catch fair play thanks for sharing the pictures

 

[Danny Parkins]

some nice perch there....
iv targeted perch the last couple sessions had a fair few over 3!

the wells Catfish is my 2010 lure target!!

 

[Dave Irving]

Danny,
I know it isn't your area. But I have hooked two Wells Catfish at Tring Reservoir , sadly both lost at the bank. Both hooked on Depth Raiders. I crush the barbs on large trebles, and the twisting nature of the way cats fight can make them hard to hang onto. Good luck-I know they are targetted commonly in europe.

 

[Milan Marian]

huhh, I have to say that we caught biggest perch on really big lures (jerkbaits) never on small ones !

 

[Mark Jefferies]

Ive had a few Perch, these two were 4lb and 5lb caught in the same session on the Kingsedgemoor drain

PB Pike of 25lb

All fish were caught on small softies
