Chris Lowe 4lb 10oz Perch

Just eight weeks after having life-saving surgery, Chris Lowe kicked-off his autumn perch campaign and managed this superb 4lb 10oz stripey.

The Shimano angler was fishing the River Thames and tempted the fish on lure tactics. He was targeting an area where there’s dense weed cover and was thrilled to land the specimen. At 48cm, he knows the fish would’ve weighed even more in a few months’ time, but he certainly wasn’t complaining.

Well done Chris!
