Quality fish mate, and not an easy water by all accounts. Great picture too

I put it wrong, 'the next day, my girlfriend gave birth' it should read.

Blimey, my life wouldn't be worth livin' if it had been the day after the birth!!

This is one of my recent memorable captures.

It was the first day in Canada, we'd had 2 or 3 each and as my mate was playing a fish and i was camcordering it one of my rods screamed off and shot into the water ( Which was 30 foot deep over the drop off and seriously fast flowing)

I dropped the camcorder, ran and dived in after it. Problem was i was fully dressed, had jeans and wellies on!!

I was over the drop off and running out of energy.

Eventually i managed to get back and amazingly the fish was still on. I was convinced that it was a monster to have ripped the rod off the rests. It turned out to be 14 lbs!!!! I nearly died for this fish!!!
