rating is 2.5

schoony, 19 July 2009 07:23

Here's a lovely River Kennet barbel caught on luncheon meat. It had to be held hard as it was hooked close to some serious snags, and that was a great end to a lovely day - I had lost a large double earlier and been chased by a bull. I really did not expect this on the last cast of the day. ...
