Well done, a great fish to start with. There is nothing like them!

Well done Darren, a great feeling isn't it :D

Mind you, what this lot haven't told you is that barbel fishing should most definitely carry a health warning. In a thread a while back it was discovered that the average barbel angler (at least amongst those with the courage to put it in print:D) owned upwards of fifteen rods and as many reels....with some WAY more than that :eek:

Obviously then, if the bug bites deep, your wallet is going to end up very sick indeed :p

Cheers, Dave.
 
Brilliant Darren. That's a great fish to get started on. I'm sure it yanked your chain quite a bit!!!!!

Many congratulations and hopes for many many more!!
 
Well done, Darren. Did you do anything differently after last weeks thread, or was it about gaining the confidence to keep doing what you were doing?
