Did Christmas come early or did lightening strike twice on Sunday? Kai Fischer is still not sure but one thing is for certain he beat the odds with his 40cm perch from Munster venue, because five minutes after he released it, the fish nailed his lure again!
Kai was fishing for pike on Sunday, his first trip out this winter. He had no intention of targeting perch, fishing a Savage soft plastic shad on a 15gr jighead. The fishing was far from stellar, and nothing much was happening when suddenly, mid retrieve the rod went over and Kai was into a good fight. The drag was going and he assumed it was a pike. He got quite a surprise when the fish turned out to be a perch, but he was more than happy as it was far from small and made 40cm on the measuring mat.
Just 5 minutes and a few cast later, the rod went over again and once more the reel was zzzzz-ing away. He played the fish out and while it wasn’t surprising to see another perch, what was surprising was that this was the same perch again!
Well done Kai, that’s a hard one to beat.
