But some awesome fish, that brace of pike and the brace of carp - either would have made anyone’s season.<br /><br />Even with the baby on the way I still vote we don’t tell you about the challenge until the rest of us are six months in next time!<br /><br />And you told me to throw that rod away every time you saw it for two years...

I'll be out everyday :)<br /><br />Exceptional?? doubtful, just bloody lucky sometimes. <br /><br />PS don't throw that rod away mate, I may need that again !!!James Denison Anglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713988521860790219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-34901125244804375272018-05-03T10:15:02.036+01:002018-05-03T10:15:02.036+01:00Thanks, I had a bit of a run on the rivers for the...Thanks, I had a bit of a run on the rivers for the last couple of weeks - I seemed to catch everything I fished for!<br /><br />Canals let me down, no excuse there are loads of them around here but they are so busy - I’ll dodge cyclists, joggers and nutters for pike but not bleak and rudd (perhaps next time).<br /><br />And I didn’t get photos of my biggest perch, eel and gudgeon but I’ve worked it out and it wouldn’t have affected my overall position.<br /><br />James is an exceptional fisherman - but I have a theory he’s actually twins and between them they maintain a 24 hour presence on the water - the only way to explain it!!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-38059165897024004002018-05-03T09:53:44.715+01:002018-05-03T09:53:44.715+01:00Some cracking fish there Brian, I was watching you...Some cracking fish there Brian, I was watching your river points with interest as I wanted to maintain 2nd place and your last few captures really did put you out of reach. <br /><br />To be honest pools, lakes and fish other than Zander on the canal are not really for me but maybe if we do it again I'll make more of an effort. <br /><br />I didn't even register some of the fish I caught for example, maybe I should have. Enjoyed it overall mind you. James is just a machine....:)Mick Neweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534025506569660200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-52033588223671450402018-05-03T09:40:20.570+01:002018-05-03T09:40:20.570+01:00Cheers, was a lot of fun.

Next time I’m going to give the canals more of a thrashing - we can beat him :-)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-74017785931862340492018-05-02T23:25:34.965+01:002018-05-02T23:25:34.965+01:00Apart from the obvious (James winning), for me you...Apart from the obvious (James winning), for me your campaign was exceptional Brian<br /><br />For a self confessed predator hunter to target and catch the fish you have was a very impressive performance indeed<br /><br />Well done matey!!George Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422749226358557982noreply@blogger.com
