Fishing today I set my stall out for roach, I was fishing 4lb main 3lb hook length might be a bit heavy for roach but there were carp in the water I was fishing
I fish single red or white maggot and caught a decent amount of roach the best around the 1ib Mark
Then about an hour before dusk I had a bite from something bigger , as I reeled in the fish came to the surface and I saw it was a perch of at least 2ib then the hook was dropped and the fish gone
Gutted , it would have beat my best perch by 1.5 lb
