It takes years to get that lucky. Mind you, now that you are smaller, the fish look bigger :Wink:

Luck ..we all need that.
The photo reminded me of a very cold June start to the season in the 70's plans of a glorious tench didn't match the winter clothing we were all wearing in what should have been a warm sunny start to the season.

Well do my friend.

The only luck involved is being lucky enough to get out there and fish so often. The fishing itself is pure skill.
Maybe the pie crumbs fluttering down from your float give you an edge Moley.

Keep on munching, slurping and fishing.

Why was he born so beautiful......

Hard to tell who is who and what is what as it got a bit hectic........ :Hahaha:

Who can say it was luck or not except t'other, t'anglers on the lake were happily discussing and gesticulating in the direction of a certain Fatty who waved back whilst singing a happy tune. Those conversations heard were discussing the golden Gonads of a certain pie eating Cretin!

Jealousy is not pretty when it emerges from the shadows :Confused:

Still there it is.

Thanks for all the supportive kindness shown on this site by everyone who took the time to reply.

As ever,......

By the way the rods used were super soft glass fly rods converted to tench rods, should any one accuse Fatty of Carbon Abuse. So soft are they the fish just can't break the line.
