Beast of a perch

[Bangersanmash 2,848]

My lad went fishing with his pal today. Been hitting river Calder but getting ghosted due to all shite from shit works. So told him to try this bit of canal that I used to go too that held some decent size perch. Just sent me a pic of this beast what would you say. It's a big fish by the placement of his fingers. Gave him a few jellys , lures , spinners too that a got off temu.

Just been on phone with him. Said was only there about an hour & half had 17 fish out. When he got that decent perch on he thought it was a pike at first with the rod bent over.  Said when it surfaced couldn't believe his eyes the size of it for a perch. He's still green. But a said at least your not getting ghosted. Or hitting these syndicate lakes with carp that's mouths look like that chap of silence of the lambs that gets fed to the pigs. It's shocking when you see carp like that. Don't make a good pic. Are lass had one done on canvas for my youngest lad. Big large thing for his bedroom wall. Even he was like am not putting that up mum. Lol
