Hoped to recce the perch pool with a few worms under a Loafer hand crafted bobber but every man and a few dogs were whipping most of the river into a lure induced maelstrom. Found a bend with a bit more depth and a reasonable small landing net full of ok roach and dace, most of which were unceremoniously dumped back in to land this absolute fat as butter unit of a brownie. It just didn't know when to give up. 5lb 2oz on the Korum digitals.
Waktastic brooooon
ReplyDeleteFat as a butchers dog.
DeleteAwesome !! bet that pulled back well
ReplyDeleteLuckily not one of the Airborne Division. Tested the mid section repair splice on the 15 footer.
DeleteIts probably still fighting now! They never give up.
ReplyDeleteThis one nearly didn't. Bent the #16 B50 out of shape
DeleteYou don't need things like that ruining your roach fishing do you.
ReplyDeletePesky things..
DeleteBlimey! Wild or stockie do you think? Have been told that irregular pattern and no red spots is usually latter.
ReplyDeleteI'd imagine a very well conditioned stockie, been in for a while though. Lots showing up with similar markings but thinner so guess from same farm if so. We do have wild fish too
