Seven-year-old banks huge perch brace


HOOKING your first fish must be a real buzz for any seven-year-old, but when he landed a 7lb 12oz brace of perch Jack Morrison quite rightly got a little over-excited.
Fishing at a southern stillwater with his father John and uncle Bernie, Jack waited all day for a bite, and was finally rewarded an hour into dark when his feederfished maggot hookbait was picked up by a huge 3lb 13oz perch.
“I was overjoyed to see him playing the fish in - he got so excited and kept shouting ‘I’m in, I’m in!’,” Jack’s father John told Angling Times.
As if that wasn’t enough, the schoolboy then proceeded to hook another giant 10 minutes later while his father was away in his uncle’s swim.
“The next thing I know Jack’s shouting ‘I’m in!’ all over again and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when an even bigger perch came to the net – my brother and I ended up biteless at the end of the session,” admitted John.
Jack beat both fish on 4lb mainline and a 2.6lb hooklength to a size 18 hook baited with double red maggot.

Big cat falls for Peperami hookbait


HAVING left his bait in a mate’s van, Shaun Smith decided to cast out with all he had – Peperami – and proceeded to hook this 48lb 2oz cat on his first cast.
The 26-year-old builder, from Brightlingsea in Essex, cast three ‘Rami hookbaits to an island in the middle of the Basildon venue he was targeting while he waited for his friend to return with the forgotten bait.
But his lack of boilies didn’t prevent him from hooking the big predator which beat his previous best for the species by over 20lb.
“I hooked the fish within 20 minutes of casting out and then spent 40 minutes playing it – it took me all over the lake and I thought I’d never get it to the bank,” said Shaun.
