Up on the main loch teaching the missus on pellet splash waggler, a lot of missed bited but ended up getting a few after a quick lesson on the birches... girlfriend ended up on 2 common carp at about 6Lb each - beating me till the very end (as all I seemed to get were F1's and small mirrors in the birches) when my feeder rod with a size 14 hook, 6mm banded hard pellet screamed off, netting me a nice 11Lb main loch mirror right out the margins.
That was ment to be the last cast... but then I have her tell me " I just want one more cast"... "just one more cast"... "just one more cast." lol Reminded me of when I was a young boy and my dad couldn't get me away from the water at the end of the day... never did get that last minute bonus fish all those times I tried.
Girlfriend also hooked onto a nice 5Lb common with... 20 metre of mono - size 12 hook - hair rigged plastic corn all hanging out its mouth. caught in all sort of crap. didn't put up much of a fight as you would expect - Why do people cut the line from the bank??? and not wrap line around rod rest or something and pull until it snaps at hooklink... stupid!!!
