Here’s a couple of old black and white photos of my first double figure Pike caught at my local estate lake in around 1979 or 1980; and my first ever Barbel caught from the river Kennet at Newbury in 1975.

Love it when a Perch session results in nothing but Perch, nothing to mess with my OCD when I reflect on the pictures...

God knows how long ago this was taken but it was when I was a lot younger and more adventurous.

That’s a 4.5lb bass caught at Tywyn on Cardigan Bay on a popping fly. Had another 4 that day but that was the biggest.

Pete I think those pics were taken in 2016 or 2017 and I was a part timer then. I'm not usually grumpy certainly not when in great company and catching barbel.

My favourite car.
