Switching to 'smug mode'...

[JimmyBobkin]

That's a cracker. I would be chuffed if I had caught it.

[Wallys-Cast]

Every right to be smug Richard, a cracking Perch, well done mate.

Well done on showing the way to the unenlightened ones too, they don't like it up em you know.

Wal.

[Jeremy Croxall]

Cane rules! Well done on such a magnificent specimen, a wonderful fish to catch and a poke in the eye for the carbonites....Chris Yates would be proud of you!

[Lea Dweller]

A lovely fish Richard, like you I had never caught one of the bigger Perch, but within the last two years I caught a P.B Perch of 2lb 10ozs!!

[Tengisgol]

Bigger than I've ever caught and what a stunning fish, well done Rich.

[Dave Burr]

An ounce over my pb too Rich. Persistence along with instinct makes it an outstanding catch. Using a bicycle pump to make it look bigger though, is questionable

[Fredline]

I would stay in "smug mode" for at least a month if I caught that great perch, well done.

[Black Prince]

A lovey fish twice the size of my pb but I am working on it

[Crucian]

What a lovely big perch

[Harry H]

Well done keep up the looking smug they were obviously talking carp(not sure I've spelt that correctly)
