Had a 2lb Mullet on a cotton cordel pencil popper fishing for Bass.

 

Also had a Garfish last year on a big ragworm bait on a size 2/0 fished on the bottom, not my normal approach for this species...

Was fishing the Derwent Reservoir many moons ago with normal trout fly gear and hooked a sheep on the backcast. I can assure you the fight was fantastic but never managed to get it in

 

same thing happend to me at tenderten, also a shad on the retrive of a mangled old piece of rag worm whilst bass fishing on the blackwater.

Fishing the Tyne at Ovingham one evening hooked a bat fair and square with a sixe 14 orange partridge. They are cute things mind.Was pleased to see the little bloke fly off

Coconut hair door mat,

Fought like a demon,left your average carrier bag standing, right up to the surf line I thought it was a class roker. Had about six poeple round me,coaching and giving me the benifit of thier collective wisdom, went home in shame not long after.

the fat boy couldent take the Ribbing.

One of the funniest moments was out in Florida with happy Dude. I had put 800 yards of 80 lb braid on a new reel but wasn't happy with the tension, so i ran the lot of the reel out at sea intending to wind it back. A speed boat went passed towing a guy on a board. The boat ran staight over the line, wrapped round his prop and came to abrupt stop. Only thing is the guy being towed didn't stop, well not until he crashed into the speed boat. I lost £60 worth of virgin braid.
