Two weeks ago, a PB pike of exactly 25lbs whilst perching on a Yorkshire river. I was somewhat under-gunned with a 0-7g rod and a soft plastic lure on a single hook. Add to that a landing net that definitely wasn't designed with such a fish in mind. A hair-raising fight ensued and I experienced a near-heart-stopping moment when I attempted to net it first time (I suspected I wouldn't get a second opportunity). All's well that ended well.
