Because it was the last day of the school holidays today my lad wanted me to take him fishing.
So we went to a little fishery close to me and fished buzzers.
He had a few fish with a little help from his dad topped off with this beauty.



Around 4 1/2lb of solid silver.

And it went back to fight another day.

He still has a grin on his face now

I like your baby sitting technique Toby.
I have used that same trick myself.

Cracking fish, look at that tail.

munro, most stillwaters down here stock BIG fat tailless pigs then charge you anywhere from 50 to 120 quid for the "privilege". i have been very lucky this season and managed to get a season rod on a little known, very lightly stocked chalkstream local to myself.it has a good head of wild fish and it is very reasonable. there is one fishery local to me that has a 5 acre catch and release lake and it is very challenging and if i am not on the rivers then i will have a couple of days a season on there. big long lean browns and a few even bigger meaner, leaner rainbows. oh and they don't allow the blob brigade.. now i am donning my tin hat. ATB jon.

Nice one mate.

Is that a Nautilus reel?

Do you want to be my dad mate..
