Sometimes in fishing, the stars align, and you have one of those sessions you will simply never forget. These ‘red letter’ sessions, as they are more favourably known, don’t happen very often, but when they do, they remind you why you go fishing and can be some of the most joyous moments you spend on the bank.
Andy Lewis recently experienced a remarkable day on the water when he managed to break his personal best perch not once, not twice, but three times in successive casts, culminating in a 4lb 8oz beast.
“On a recent reservoir trip I had the proverbial ‘day of two halves’, Andy informed us.
“The morning ended went as badly as it possibly could do with a broken tip section, mysterious crack-offs, and hundreds of casts with no fish," he explained.
“But the afternoon turned into an amazing experience, as my boat partner and I each landed six perch."
“My fish were all over the 3lb mark and, at one point, I broke my PB in three successive casts when I landed fish of 3lb 15oz, 4lb 5oz, and 4lb 8oz!"
“Seeing this number of quality perch in such a short space of time is something I don’t think I’ll ever repeat. I read about other anglers who have these experiences, but never believed it’d happen to me.”
