British Grass


I don't really know what's in the Farm Pond, which is nice when you stumble across a surprise like a big eel (and I've seen some lovely perch). But I'd heard there was a grass carp in there - just the one though. And wandering around I thought I spotted her...

So I put out a bait and waited, and waited - about 5 hours later the alarm signalled a single beep! Always better to be lucky than good - a stunning 13lb 13oz British grassy was soon in the net. Worth the wait, really wanted to catch one of these. New species, so a new PB - ace!

    1. Oh yes! Normally pride myself on how quickly I can get fish unhooked, weighed, photographed and back in the water. Not this one - did not want to behave!!
