My first Zander
Was fishing yesterday in the deep basin behind my boat.
It’s quite a wide expanse of water, with a couple of piers for boats, then leading down to the lock.
After throwing a bit of groundbait out, I sat down, turned on the radio and cracked open my beer.
After a couple of minutes, the old float started bobbing around.
Fishing on bread.
Pulled this out.
It’s a perch-pike or Zander.
Tiny little chunk.
It’s like a Goby.
Tiny….
You can see it here on my coaster.
Put him back and he swam off.
Maybe one day he will grow up big and strong.

and they can grow very big, and very strong – but in a canal ??
It’s actually a ruff, no zapper as yet in the k & a
Yes as James says this is a Ruffe not a Zander, Zander have 2 dorsals and no spots.
This is a ruffe not a zander but really nice fish
