Getting there mate, you’ll be emptying it out before I know it!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a learning curve, bit gutting spotting the biggest fish I’ve seen there, stalking it and conning it into taking a bait only for it to shed the hook feet from the net - but never mind, hopefully find bigger this summer...
DeleteAbsolutely, it happens to us all. Hopefully I’m there when you do, so I can get a couple of pics for you!!
DeleteI've had some (barbless) hook posers but am enjoying get the rod bent even if some have been coming off
ReplyDeleteI use barbless for 99% of my fishing but the shape of the bigger carp looks like often the pressure is on the line around a fin or their humped back, so perhaps a micro barb will stay put better.
DeleteCan’t catch them all, can’t beat a bend in the rod but it’s nice to see them in the net at the end of the fight.
