As a lot of anglers do, we guess the weight before weighing the fish. In this case Darren guessed 6-14, I said you're right on the money, 6-14, and the scales said the same. Getting quite good at this.

ReplyDeleteCheers, Darren has had a good January... Now it's time for a February fish...

DeleteBut if anyone is reading this with a river on their doorstep I'd give it a go!
