S’funny - I’ve only ever caught perch on whole or headless, usually popped just off-bottom, never on the heads, which are always on the bottom. Were yours off-bottom?

this pike took a liking to a big bunch of worms 6 big lobs , luckily on a short wire trace as i knew the venue had pike , its the movement of the worms that the pike cant resist also added another of 10 lbs the one in the picture was just a tad over 14lb , air temps that day was 10c so it went back quickly as do all my pike .....
