    When we were kids minnows were the one for big perch.

    What a clonker! I bet it almost bent around double! In my head a small spinner or spoon would single out the bigger perch, but you nearly always hear about them being caught on a lob.

    My nine year old caught this while fishing a small farm pond, several weeks ago😍 whilst with his mate. He won't forget that one. He says it felt stuck so he just pulled harder😉 Size 6 hook in it's mouth.!!!! I have tried a couple of times to recatch it and weigh it, but only seem to get the small ones.

    From what I can tell, I think he had caught a rudd on sweetcorn & the size 6 hook was enough to catch it. He swares he caught it on sweetcorn 😆

    Their mouths are huge so I don't doubt it. I've never really thought of live baiting for perch before for some reason - it doesn't sit well with me anymore either. In fact, it never really did sit right the few times I tried it for pike. I actually do feel a little bad for the worms. 😂 Maggots however...

    Live bait like a small roach or similar sorts the big ones, and they can suck in a surprisingly large live bait, but it goes against the grain for me, i work on catch and release not catch and impale on even bigger hook, some might think it wrong to put a lob on hook (wife does) but i dont have a problem drowning worms

    it fell to a good old fashioned lobworm fished on stick float set up at the time i had (and foolishly sold) a TFG Matt Hayes X1 river and stream 1lb avon rod and the big perch put a right bend in that classic rod

    Another thumbs up for Gardner. I've been using GT-HD in 15lb for several years and highly rate it.

    Most Gardner line is decent tbh, My preference is for gt80+ although I do like hydrotuff also
