David K 172 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 what was the method the fella caught the trout on ?? bet his arm was sore More details http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0528/1224316807694.html Mr Jones, who works as a freelance photographer with the British angling magazine Trout Fisherman, was trolling using a “roach deadbait” when he hooked the fish. “When I hooked it first, I knew instantly it was big fish. It was like hooking a car, the line just streamed off the reel.” “Using this type of big bait, you're either going to get nothing or a big fish.” The 46-year-old, from the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, played the fish for over an hour before he managed to land it.

billybaltic 308 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Would be great to bend into something like that, but as he said, if you use them tactic's, if it goes, it's got to be big. Quote Link to post

rough dog 333 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 They say that after a fish that size has fought like that they rarely survive if you put them back. What a fish....I bet Burkes Bar will see some custom when that is on the wall !! Quote Link to post
