I was tenching two weeks ago with Dave Thompson (used to be OTMO on the old BFW) and we were at Frencham Great Pond.
Now if anyof you have fished it, you will know it is best tackled with waders to assist with the long casts needed to get to deeper water.
Well we were both up to our knees and I was playing a small 3lb tench which happened to kite to the keepnet installed along the reeds. Well the little so and so dived downwards against the net ring and twisted and low and behold it slipped the hook transferring it to the net as we watched - took a fraction of a second!
I have often wondered how fish do it, still wondering - but I have seen it first hand now.
Anyone else witnessed similar?
