Nick Pinder has been after a big perch for a while, putting plenty of effort into trying to catch one over recent seasons, but with little reward. However, that all changed when he visited a large Midlands reservoir recently, after hearing that the venue had been in fine form.
The fishing gods were clearly smiling down on Nick because on his very first trip to the water he achieved his target in the shape of this perfectly- proportioned 5lb 1oz specimen.
Conditions were ideal on the day, with it being still and overcast, and after finding a few fish he targeted the area with Texas rigs. His very first bite of the trip was from the five-pounder, with the fish coming to the net after putting up a great scrap.
