Default the hippo

9 of us fished croix in may 2006 and i had the pleasure of seening one of our lads catch the hippo for the second time at 72.02. ask tricky what i was like.
i aint ever seen anything like it.i had to sit down,it was huuuugggeeee!!
that made the trip for me seeing one of the biggest fish in europe on the bank.i was that excited i almost ****ed myself.this is a top venue that i can highly recommend.when we went out kev the head balif had just started and he is one top bloke.nothing is to much trouble out there.i had a hard week,but you have to stick at it when all around you are catching.my efforts were rewarded and i ended up with 3 fish, biggest was a mirror at 50.06.
never give up till its time to get on that bus!
cheers mike.
