Minonsters


I popped down to see James barbel fishing (he was successful so expect a post soon). While I was there we stumbled across a shoal of minnows - so while James went to buy himself some lunch I borrowed his rod and filled my boots - rude not to!


A dozen or so massive minnows including the two monsters (above). Minonsters! They were huge, I need to put a weight to some of these... I will be back with a set of kitchen scales before they breed and disappear... There has to be a new PB in that shoal!

    1. I really wish I’d robbed half a handful of your maggots and gone back today to put some weights to them...
