Fished where Dan told me to down the giants today and caught no tench but imagine my suprise when I lifted into a fish and it took me 150-175 yds down the canal ! one of the lads who was passing said it may be a carp ! Turns out it wan't ! My very first pike ! ;D Caught on worm on 8lb line and a size 10 barbless lol hooked just in the sissors got him out and weighed, photos 16lb very happy fisherman indeed !!! ;D ;D Fish returned safely to fight another day. Had plenty of sport from rudd and roach up to 1.5 lb with the odd skimmer thrown in for good measure. All in all a very good day ! ;D
