That looks at least 6lb.

Cracking fish on any gear, nothing like a chubs first run to check your drag settings!

Not a big net Danny so the fish was about 3lb 4oz I'd say. I did go looking for grayling or trout really but this and a small dace were all that showed interest. Was a bit of a jangler trying to stop it from reaching cover so I'm off to the tackle shop today.....just to have a look!
