An excellent start to my season
Two excellent fish to be caught on my Chapmans 500 De-luxe. I've not been out as much as I'd like to this season, but on my first session, which was only a mere 5 weeks ago, I had a special fish, then three weeks later on a different stretch I had another which was just as good. Two over 7lbs and so early on I may get that hatrick... If only!

Re: An excellent start to my season
Was there not a thread last year (or even the year before) where we were marveling over some excellent 6lbr's that you had caught, willing the capture of a 7?
Congratulations, stunning fish

You have TB. Two beauties. Well done.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Re: An excellent start to my season
Last season I lost some lumps. No fault from the tackle or rods used, just big strong chub that had the better of me in really snaggy swims. Sometimes with those bigger chub you just have accept defeat and try again.

Without doubt there would have been an awful lot of hard work and patience that went into those two captures. Very well done and certainly well deserved.
