Couldn’t write a book on it Paul.
What are the chances on the day I take the new reel out.
I might pay Garry mills to come and touch all my fishing gear in future
It gives you no end of grief when you hook it on super strong ledger gear.That is a peach of a barbel Rich - very well done.
It was a tongue in cheek comment ref the bream Tim . I’ve never had a really big one but tend to find they turn up at the most inconvenient of times and make an absolute mess of everything.
No disrespect to bream anglers intended
Big bream caught by design are awesome (IMHO!) and although seem plentiful nowadays are still a reasonably rare fish. I’ve had plenty of nuisance carp (to 32lb) whilst fishing for them! Would have a 13lb Bream over a 30lb carp any day of the year!!Lovely fish, well done.
P.S. Really big bream are impressive fish IMHO.
Hey Mark. The pin was great but is certainly better now than it was at the time simply due to being run in much better since. It’s just incredibly free, smooth and really great to trot a float with.Corking barbel Richard, well done. How did the new reel cope ?
Cheers Rich. Yes I still can’t quite believe how lucky I’ve been really. I did mention the weight of the last one somewhere when askedJust catching up with this thread, Rich, which has become progressively incredible. Thought I was reading about one pb, but no, three. And the last one (my guess, over 13lb 5oz ) caught on a 'rookie' Milltackle pin. Fabulous! Very well done, Sir.
