Had to share this with u all as I'm chuffed to bits.
I went out last weekend for a spot of fishing, my first overnight session since my boy was born nearly two years ago. I got this one at around 5pm



This beauty weighed in at 10lb 6oz. She Took half a large popped up mackerel on a running ledger rig. I had another about 2 hours later who was kind enough to bite through the trace as I was netting it But I'm not going to go on about The one that got away.


Would Love to hear what you guys have had lately

Brilliant mate. I haven't been fishing in ages but this pic has really brought it all back. Need to dust off the gear.

Well done.

 

[munkiboi182]

Cheers mountainm. Really got the buzz again. Great thing about it is that I can combine my fishing with my Bushcraft and canoeing

That's a beauty mate! Second last and biggest i had was a 4lb 7oz rainbow trout on the fly, do love a good days fishing! Hanks for posting!

Where did you catch it?

 

[munkiboi182]

Pentney lakes. In my super secret swim that even the new baliff doesnt know about

 

[ozzy1977]

Great pike, has to be my favourite

If you like carp fishing drop me a PM as I am the local water bailiff to a very nice carp lake, I took Carl over there a while ago and had a successful days fishing.

Never been into carp. Always thought of them as the cattle of the water. Had a few 30s years ago then got bored of them. Now pike, I consider them the tigers. Big game, mean look on there faces and teeth that would tear ya face off if you ga've them a funny look. Much more fun

Couldn't agree more. It makes me laugh when I see these guys with thousands pounds worth of kit and blanking. I used to regularly catch 20lb plus carp when I first started fishing with a starter set that cost me a fiver and bait that came out of the house or garden. it's the old addage "all the gear and no idea" . Much like Bushcraft really

Very nice... Esox is a fave of mine!

 

[Spaniel man]

That's not a fish....this is a fish!

Nice pike though, haven't caught one of those since I was a teenager, I ate one a few years ago though. I wasn't very nice..

 

[forest_dweller]

yeah i agree and also personally find carp fishing rather dull compared to fishng for big wild pike. am desperate to catch a pike on the flea.
