After landing two nice perch Frank Partington was ‘over the moon’ when he realised he was connected to this stunning 2lb 10oz roach.

The fish was caught from a Leigh and District AA water, and is a new personal best for Frank, who fished a groundbait feeder with a bunch of maggots on the hook. Talking about his catch, Frank told us: “We don’t get a lot of big roach in this water, so it was a big surprise!”
