My first 10

Post by Stephen246 »

Went out after work today and caught my first 10lb pike buzzing does not cover it as I'm new to pike fishing. Really good clean fish and gave a good fight.

Congratulations and very well done. A double figure fish is always special.

Well done. It's a great feeling, isn't it? :thumbs:

I caught my first double forty years ago. I can still remember the buzz!

Nice! My first double about 50 years ago - but first lured double only 16 years ago gave me a bigger buzz. :thumbs:

Nice one Stephen! :thumbs:

Everyone remembers their first double - I still have a grainy old picture of mine somewhere (and I was grinning like a Cheshire cat! :grin: ).

Like John says, everyone can remember their first double on a lure. Mine was on a Shakespeare Big S when I was 13 years old. I actually thought I'd got snagged up at first, until the snag moved. So much to look forward to if you're just starting out...
