1320

Nine years ago I caught my biggest perch so far in my sport fishing career. It weighed 1320 g and I was thrilled! Today I was SO close of beating my old personal best but the scale ended up at 1320 g even if I weighed the fish five times with several minutes apart. Even if I wished for another two grams it was a beautiful fish with its 47 cm :)

Overall I can't complain on todays fishing. Took the inflatable rubber boat (this time with a real petrol-powered boat engine, didn't want to repeat the rowing error from last week) and went fishing for nearly seven hours. The day flies by when you're having fun!

The catch was really great! In addition to the almost new personal record I caught 71 perch, all quite big. One pike had another pike biting its ”buttocks” but just as I was about to get it in my landing net the pike released its jaws from the pike on my jig. The only downside this day was that one of my rods broke in two! But at least I didn't have to row across the whole lake on my way home...
