RECORD PERCH SMASHED RECORD!
as reported in the angling press:
After years of waiting, the 6lb barrier has been broken with this masive record-breaking 6lb 2oz River Thames perch caught by Robert Townsend, from Banstead in Surrey.
Witnessed and weighed in a plastic bag, using Fox Digital scales, this perch has potentially smashed the previous record of 5lb 15oz, held by Les Brown.
This is the first time that a river has thrown up a perch that has the statistics to break the record.
It was caught on a gudgeon livebait, floatfished within a London marina.

I had a dream that a friend of mine was out fishing with me on a loch and we thought it might hold trout, fishing with float and worm, when he hooked a perch that was comparable in size to that one. It broke my net. Also had about 6 more about 2lb each, the worst tasting fish ever.
