I sat there in the cold, damp, conditions, having missed breakfast just waiting for that BIG fish. As I glanced down I could see this BIG black shadow swim away in the distance at great pace. I knew that this was “FISH ON” I held on for dear life as I drew him in inch by inch making sure that there was no escape for this slippery fish. Eventually pulled it and landed this BIG slippery so and so. TBH never gave much of a fight probably knew that he was well and truly beaten!!!!! Will upload the photo of the beast later

Nice one Meirion, I bet its a story you will tell your grandchildren one day. Nothing like hunting down a big clever fish and catching it .

 

[Tim Murphy]

:rofl: That's one big, ugly monster of a catch Mei :!:

 

[trev richardson]

It wasn't worrying any sheep at the time was it?????:-D:-D

 

[Meirion Evans]

Trev,

Funny you should say that he did have a woolly Jacket on mmmmmm

 

[Andrew Walker]

Catch and release or one for the pot?

 

[Tim Murphy]

Catch and release or one for the pot?

Enormous pot of Simon Cawl :?: ;-) :rofl:

 

[Meirion Evans]

Ah I had to release this one as it was a bit to big. could do with loosing a pound or two over the winter months!!!!!!

 

[Andrew Walker]

I see, an unfit specimen. Might have been the kindest thing to knock it on the head then! Lol!

 

[Marc Westwood]

I had a call to say you were waiting to ambush the passing prey and had caught it, well done Meirion I know you have waited for this one catch lol!


Did you try and measure the catch before release? Bet it put up a struggle when you pulled out a tape measure and glove?

Lol nice one Andrew

 

[trev richardson]

Merion,
Where was the younger good looking version of that species??

Funny 'cause they're usually found swimming together.....was he that much faster that he managed to escape you.......:-D:-D

 

[Dave Irving]

Caught him doing what?????



The fact he was wearing a woolly jumper is a cause for concern!!

The Girth was far too big Marc for the tape measure, Wonder if **** sells harpoons, that might do the trick?
I could not catch the youngster far to quick and nimble, unlike the older, sloggish etc etc

 

[bob jameson]

Good catch Meirion , just maybe the tazer would be better than a harpoon dont leave any wounds before releasing to fight another day ... :badlol::rofl:

 

[Simon L]

You'll have to have a quicker pursuit vehicle next time, as there'll be no slowing down by the Specimen .

 

[Gareth Jones]

As has already been mentioned I think this is one case where catch and release should of been ignored !
