Pike Pool 20 (Steve Bown)

Post by Emma Hamilton »

Designer and Lean Manufacturer of the finest Back-Biter Alarms on Planet Earth Steve Bown writes for us Pool-Siders.

Steve hasnt been sitting at home thinking about it... Oh..No..No..No !... Billy has been out there tearing it up !

Join Steve as he tracks down a long term target fish and at the same time joins a "Fingers On One Hand Club" of dedicated predator anglers who have held in their arms on both a spate river 30lb+ pike and a 15lb+ zander.

Enjoy !

If anyone were ever in any doubt what a fish can mean to a man then do no more than read this!
I recall that 17 pounder day pretty well myself and felt genuinely priviledged to have witnessed it.
Bloody well done Billy!
