A 50 from a river is a catch of a lifetime in any ones books 🌞🌞🌞
ReplyDeleteReally is a genuine UK fifty - I’ll add it to my PB list :-)
DeleteWhere's the mat for the '50 and you might want to get your scales checked as that looks no more than a good '20 to me!? :) :) :P
ReplyDeleteSadly on this occasion I didn’t practice catch and release - no need for a mat! Looked like a good twenty but had that red hue we all love!!
DeleteI dropped that one, can I have it back please.
ReplyDeleteReally - what was the serial number? Ah, I see the flaw in that plan. But I’ve probably lost £50 worth of hooks alone in that river - nice to get ‘cash back’.
DeleteDon't think I've ever held a £50 note, lucky sod !!
ReplyDeleteOnce I’d netted it I waited patently for another to float by - if movies have taught me anything it should have been followed by more, then a duffle bag containing bundles, then a dead bank robber!
DeleteGreat catch Brian. Must be an anglers find. I found one myself on an outing a few years back 😀
ReplyDeleteTakes my found total up to £85 this season... And long may it continue..!
DeleteHahaha, defo gonna be fishing there next week!!
ReplyDeleteFree £50 note with every trip - guaranteed! *
Delete*Not guaranteed, in fact pretty unlikely.
Can't say I've ever caught a note, but i did find 53 pound coins once on a weir cill work party .someone must have been using it as a wishing well.Cleaned up ok, coke the best.also,i lost a bite alarm and bankstick on a trip to your river, in flood.went back to look a week later, gone, but whoever retrieved it had kinly left their smartphone as compensation!i do better with leads and feeders. The good blind trent and thames anglers have left me 20+ this season.far more than I've lost.
ReplyDeleteHi Grant, haven’t heard from you in ages - hope you’re bagging up on Thames & Trent gold (barbel not pound coins).
DeleteYou reminded me of the time I went out looking for worms on Balham Common - 0 worms but a £20 note - so I bought some worms (and a couple of beers).
Sod the Barbel! Show me the money :£)
ReplyDeleteLucky git 🙂💰
A barbel and a fifty - the perfect mixed bag!
