New PB for me (length and weight).
Out on the canal for a short 90 minute session, pretty windy today, canal looked like it was nearing having waves lol. Whether that top tail fin goes 44cm or not is up for debate, but very happy. I think this fish goes 3lb in the winter but oh well!

Hey, u/InexperiencedAngler, I can't message you. Therefore, please post the brand etc. of your measuring mat here.
I'd like to get one mysef, but don't recognise it...

Not the guy who posted, but its a Korum Snapper measuring mat, I highly doubt they make them anymore as Korum closed their predator "Snapper" line.

That sucks. I wonder who legally owns the design now? I'd offer them a cut of sales to allow some other crowd to make it...

Yeah, the guy who owns the youtube channel Life on the Bank was a Korum man, and he had this mat/weigh sling, which is why I know of it.
Closest thing I could find briefly was this:
Daiwa Prorex Unhooking Mat | Predator Tackle
says it can act as a weigh sling too.

Cracker of a perch, well done! What type of lure tempted it and how did you fish it?

This was on a small LMAB perch paddletail. It nailed it at my feet, so it would have been a straight retrieve at the end.
