At about 5.30pm Billy has another run and it's a scorcher, check out the bend in his rod: I said hey Billy you might have your clutch set to tight and I just got it in the landing net crack the rod broke, the people on the bridge were gob smacked though we had the fish and it was a good one, I was convinced it was a 30lb (Don't some fish really throw you off?) though on the scales it went 24lb 7oz I think, Billy will correct me if I am wrong; so Billy really has mixed emotions he has probably just caught his PB and he broke a rod. What the heck it can repair and guess what? My knots held yeehaa, anyway look at this fish: So now Billy was kicking my ass, 2 up to Billy. I thought yep get that Nash hook length changed before I get one, good job I did - as on the rod that I took the Nash hook length off I got a screamer, it tore off to the right of my and the line was going through the tree to the right of me so I got out as far into the water as I could to get the line past the tree though it got to deep and I knew there was a good drop off near where I was standing so I let the fish carry on with its run - I saw it surface about 40 yards out which usually means its tiring only for it to tear off again. I start bringing it in and the line is still in the tree so when I get it a bit closer Billy jumped in and snapped the branch that was causing the problems and then got it in the landing net (It's so much easier when you have someone to assist you in these events) another beautiful Carp 24lb 10oz: A little antiseptic where the hook was and back he goes. Don't you just love this sport of Carp Fishing? Not to be outdone I went and caught my PW (I made that up I think personal worst) no really it was the smallest Carp I had ever caught out of Town Lake and probably a good job as he got caught snagged on a branch on the bottom of the lake and realy had to pump the rod up and down to get them both in. Oh the knots! Go on let me brag a bit, its been a long time since I used to do it before. Next week I am going to Galverston Airshow so see ya here in a couple of weeks. Opps nearly forgot Baby Carp:
