Oh. Not because it talks then.

 

I always feel sorry for these tame fish that get caught over and over. They must wonder if the next scrap of food they eat will mean being hooked in the face and manhandled out of the water.

He's right though D.

 

I fished Makins a while ago and caught a Carp which had a gob on it you wouldn't have got a pencil down, poor fu*ker. Mangled to bu*gery.

[squab 2,875]

lot carp in these fish every cast type of lakes are like that,i see steve ringer fishing once at drayton showing how important it is to get weight in the net for a competition.every cast was a fish on he just kept the rod low and parallel to the bank and wound in fast as he could until it came in range of the landing net,total dissregard to the welfare of the fish supposed to be a class angler

 

 

anyone got a decent pic of it they can put up on here be good cant see it on fb cheers
