    Most memorable session ever

    Ah....now that is a PROPER story Mark, and a corker at that. I too have had a couple of run ins with elephants while abroad, but nothing fishing related. People usually view elephants as big, benign creatures, sort of gentle giants, and at times that can be true. However, as you know, that very...

    Oh that happened years ago Stephen. Well, I mean.....I haven't exactly LOST marbles, but I had a vasectomy, so they only fire blanks. Cheers, Dave.

    Most memorable session ever

    Derek, that is a critter that only John could have dreamt up. I think it's the product of a combination of mind distorting substances...and living with a person who had a different slant on life...cough. By the way, I would try your advice of a glass of Andrews, but you didn't say what he...

    Most memorable session ever

    Well, I did wonder at the time Joe, but then it occurred to me that the lion spoke with such a perfect David Niven style accent that it couldn't possibly have been Mark. However, now you mention it....I suppose that also could be down to the sneaky ventriloquist tiger. I never did trust tigers...

    Most memorable session ever

    That thought did run through my mind Stephen, so I asked the lion before they left....turns out the tiger is a ventriloquist. Cheers, Dave.

    Most memorable session ever

    Well, it was a really dark night, and I was sitting on my own with no other anglers within 120 miles. It was absolutely silent, bar the hooting of owls now and then, creepy stuff. Suddenly, the hair on the back of my neck stood up at the sound of a low growl. When I turned round there was a...

    Is it me? Is it real?

    No I don't Derek....because the lady loves MILK TRAY. Not only that, you REALLY need to know who your are fishing with if you are wearing Lynx :D http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1151532/Lynx-features-gay-kiss-new-television-commercial.html Cheers, Dave.

    Snagged Barbel

    I stripped down to my grundies to go in after a large carp in a lake once. It had kited sideways into a tree in a grotty corner full of all sorts of flotsam blown in by the prevailing wind. I managed to free the carp, but the line then snapped where it had been abraded by the snag, just above...

    Is it me? Is it real?

    With the world being the way it is now, this animal was probably responsible for all the sightings and killings while out on day release :D Cheers, Dave.

    Is it me? Is it real?

    Damn, you let let the cat out of the bag about these collars too soon Anthony. Surely a short paws for thought was required here...in fact there may even be a claws in the small prints requiring that. Still. you always were a wag, not one to sit on the fence. Anyway, I don't want to hurt...

    Supposed Ray Walton claim??

    I will throw my two penneth in, for what it's worth, while carefully avoiding the latest post. Back in the days when carp fishing was my thing (and we ain't talkin matches in puddles)...the majority of anglers were after 'the' biggie, or one of the biggies in larger waters. Call them trophy...

    Quite right David, threads like this allow your imagination to run riot. Cheers, Dave.

    Supposed Ray Walton claim??

    What mystery? Oh, you mean why you apparently found it mysterious enough to post about it as being 'funny'? Cheers, Dave.
