I've had plenty of "jacks" on the canal while spinning for perch (which are also allegedly a "good eat").I wouldn't like to get a spinner caught in my beard
Pike are allegedly a "forgotten feast"

If every coarse angler in this country removed one or two fish every time they caught, within a few years there would be nothing left to fish for; (return them), don't get like the east europeans who are over here who are decimating our fisheries.
