After catching a perch of over 4lb from Grafham Water a fortnight ago, Russ Alexander returned to see if he could catch another, and he achieved his goal in stunning fashion by landing no fewer than five of them!
The largest was this fish of 4lb 12oz, measuring an impressive 48cm. Reaching thein-form Cambridgeshire venue isn’t easy for Russ, but his efforts paid off.
“I’m based in East Sussex, so going to Grafham involves a 3am start, thankfully, this session made it all worthwhile," he told us.
“Alongside the five four-pounders, I landed three other perch, the smallest of which weighed 3lb 10oz! The bites were ferocious, with all the fish falling to Rapala crankbaits throughout the day.”
