Should every boy's first fish be a perch?

Post by Tengisgol »

Took my two out this morning and they caught their first perch, as it should be, in the park under the bridge on a worm!

Followed up by a great big brunch!

Lovely stuff just as it should be
Not a fish was visible that first time I visited Beechmere; an utter
stillness brooded over the place and I felt the strange and sinister atmosphere which, so the story goes,
has been the cause of several suicides.’

Super well done perch are fabulous creatures big or small
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Definitely should be a perch. Mind that perch is a bit of a specimen for a first perch, I think the youngster is very lucky indeed, I think it was two years fishing before I caught anything close to that big.
