Once, when gutting a trout cought from my local trout river, my dad and I found a fruit pastille and a a big peice of yogurt pot
My best carp capture is a 6Ib common. I was playing a lively smal carp on my waggler rod, so lifted my margin leger rod out of the water to get it out of the way. Mty bait fell off during the process, leaving my bare hook dangling 6 inches in the lake. Took me a while to work out why the reel on my rod was backwinding like fury when I was unhooking the first fish.........
