Big Perch - The Biggest Fish of all?

They can be caught with a variety of methods, but the two best methods are perhaps float fishing and lure fishing.

A couple more from a local commercial.
Anyone targeting Perch?

I love targeting big perch, usually at Longleat Middle Lake which is rumoured to hold them up to 5lb. My PB stands at 2lb 13oz, with my fishing buddy Ian (ian f) having one of exactly 3lb last year, both from Longleat.

Definitely a place worth trying for perch!

Been trying to get up there for a while now... maybe worth a trip sooner rather than later.
...of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy.

Finally upped my PB to 2lb 9oz tonight.
The Perch are at their biggest right now so don't miss the window of opportunity before they spawn.
