Just wondering if anyone else out there goes fishing, and if so what is your biggest fish?
I just thought of this topic as i have today been down to wicksteed park for a bit of fishing in the lagoon, wehere i caught my all time personal best fish. After a run a blanks fishing for pike (northen pike for americans) i thought i might have a quick go, bearing in mind the biggest pike i caught since was about 11lb. Well anyways i was just sitting out with my mate, dead-bait setup using about a 10cm sprat, when i notice my float moving eraticly, all of a sudden the float just absoulutly tore off through the water like no mans buissness. And well to cut a long story short, this thing took me about 10 -15 mins to get in, and when i saw it in the water, i swear i caught a crocodile, i mean jesus. This things was huge, by this time there were several other people also watching, which was annoying but yeah. Then my mate finaly got the pike in the net and as he lifted the net he snapped the pole (yeah he's dumb like that) but still i managed to land it, well anyway, after i had de-hooked it i put her on the scales. And yes the scales rose and rose and rose to a total weight of 24lb (dont know what that is in kg) now for any poor kid fishing this was truely amazing for me, i mean the biggest fish id landed before was a 17lb Carp, and to catch a 24lb pike was well, amazing. Well anyway thats my little story of the day
