DISCLAIMER: This fish was caught before March 15th 2025.
Kane Hammond enjoyed a fantastic perch session on the River Thames just before the season’s end, landing this fish of 5lb 1oz, along with a couple of four-pounders and a pair of ‘threes’ for good measure!
Having located the fish the previous evening, Kane headed straight to the area the next morning. He caught all his perch in an incredible hour’s fishing, presenting a worm on a drop shot rig twitched along just off the bottom.
His set-up comprised a light lure rod, 8lb leader and two SSG shot. Kane was sure the five-pounder was a pike, but after a few runs and a dogged fight under the rod-tip, the colossal stripey surfaced.
He admits that the rest of the session was a bit of a blur!
