The fish of 99% of anglers dreams, a brilliant catch.
I totally agree Dave, I think I'll leave the idea of owning another rod for now, it's a treat and not a need. I'm in no rush so it can wait.

It's a mixture of the rod being gifted, a lucky beanie hat :Chuckle: and watercraft, something you can't really teach :Thumb:

Luck doesn't enter into it.
After eight swims without a bite, I should have given up.
You carry on to ninth, worm your way into a jungle, drop a bait exactly where it is right.
You fully deserve the rewards for your determination and persistence. :Hat: :clap:
Hi Banksy,

I think most would of done.

That's my style of fishing, I try and find swims like that, and if I can get to them then l'll fish it. With all the floods and unpredictable weather changes recently, the chub have become more cautious and at times like this it pushes the fish into tighter areas.

Thanks again :Thumb:

No pressure of course.

Thanks

BB,

If that was to ever happen :Beg: haha!!!

Amazing fishing and what a fish! :Hat: :cheers: :wave:
One day, somewhere, someone will bank a double figure chub.... Oh for it to be on a Chapman 500 and Mitchell 300. :Beg:
