Most unexpected capture....

Mine was on cockerham 3am in the moarning, the alarm was just giving the odd beep but the bobbin was dancing, stuck to feel hardly no resistance. Thinking it was a small carp, netted it to find a slimely odd looking thing in my landing net. Still half asleep I woke my dad up to let him have a look, it was a decent size bream we weighed it, it few oz off 10lb, upto this point all we knew it contained two tench and the rest carp.

I was told there was two large Bream in the water a few years ago. Last year Andy and I were fishing on Cockerham when we had an amazing thunder storm. After the storm had cleared, right at my rod tips up popped a massive Bream, 99% dead. Could not believe my eyes. It was full of some skanky skin parasite and I'm assuming that was the main cause of it's death. Anyway a guy who was surface fishing (who has no respect for fish going by the way he just throws his captures back) next to me came over and knocked it on the head with a nearby rock.

I think you on about phil(?) there

I have had the bream out of there at around 10lbs it was a scabby looking thing I didn,t even touch it, bloody horrible fish

thats the beaty of barbless hooks you dont need to lift the snottys out just give them slack line and hope the hook falls out.saves takeing landing net to launderette

my most unexpected catch was a 4 oz bream on hudsons farm.

how the bleeding hell it got a sz8 longshank hook with a 16mm boilie in its mouth and managed to move a 3oz lead is beyond me lol

Theres way to many bream in hudsons farm, when I first fished it (not far for carp) we had loads at one point it, they where attacking a hook without bait on it.

not fished it for 2 years now think the best i managed was a couple of 10lb commons but nothing else size wise.

Never carped it, the rats and bream put me off. Had one carp though about half a oz though.
