Hungerford canal.

["Earth!" 503]

Thought id grab a few hours on the dead bait today.

Rigs set, baited and onto the chosen overhangs.

A quick call on the mobile to a friend and see some good carp nudging the bung, the friend on the phone suggested a top bait, these are wary carp, no chance!

the call ended.seconds later the bung dropped, didnt run the surface as per usual of a run from a pike,i left it a few seconds then struck to it.

contact and my mind to the fish which kept deep. something took my eye to the right,an oncoming barge which was full of tourists but kindly stopped after being kindly asked to do so( ).

With that a chap on a push bike to my left whom i skaed if he knew how to fish, which he could so kindly reeled in my other rod.

after a few more seconds, the belly of the fish showed, what a beauty , too be honest my arse squeaked, lots of eyes, lots of pressure...

the lad on the bike offeres to land the fish for me just as 2 other tourists turned up, even more pressure ..

 

after a few mins, i pressured the fish to safety in the net..

tried it and failed glad my walls are thick otherwise the neighbour would get me sectioned from the words coming from my mouth .

One of the blokes sent me 2 photographs he took but are rubbish. although it an obvious carp, it doesnt show the full fish.

1 photo shows me playing it to the net and the other show it being landed, TWAT!!!!

His mate took some photos aswell so hopefully email me them

 

the photographs i have also has the barge passing that wouldnt stop and around 50-60 people staring in amazement
