A Surprise Capture While Fishing for Tench
I have been told they are in the water, I've seen some pictures even a video on a phone and this morning I've seen the fish.
I caught some nice Tench too.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I bet you thought you'd got Tench there what do they fight like? They look like there built for speed.
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

I bet you didn't think you had a tench. Sturgeon/lets? jump and run at daft speeds and take forever to give up. Had a few in France on carp gear and they were quite a handful - great fun

Ah, the snipe-nosed lesser spotted tench. Don't see many of those...

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Best lifted out by the tail as they can damage themselves in a net much the same as a hare in a long net. I rather think it may be illegal to put them back once caught but less said the better as not sure of current position. Delightful creatures when they get bigger their constant zooming round the perimeter margin can be immensely annoying as they pick up everyone's lines.
