At 6.10pm the first rod was banging so I grabbed it and just lifted into the fish but he turned and took off like a rocket along with the hook, so there was some very nasty words uttered, I wrapped up the rod and was just about to take it apart when the second rod nearly disappeared into the lake, but this time I held the fish on, even though he was under the willow going around.

I landed it and weighed it at 26lbs but like a few of the other fish I had left my camera in the house so that one I do not have pictures of but I do have some pictures which are on here, so I thanked the chap up above for listening to me and at 6.30pm I packed everything up and then sorted out the car........next
