Hmm, I thought someone might mention that, I had all my unused sections laid neatly behind me when the float dipped on the paste line and at the same time a stray breeze blew my 14.5 m section into the lake alongside the landing stage , I thought and in shock dropped my top 5 (fish on) in the same place. Mad panic ensued and I jumped down off the stage to grab my fast dissapearing top 5, suddenly realising I may have landed on the 14.5 metre section which had gone in first, a quick hunt around in just over 2' of water rescued my extension, fortunately none the worse for its swim, I turned my attention back to the top 5 and unfortunately the fish had got tired of waiting to be landed and had unhooked himself.

The drive home was a bit damp with my shrinking trainers trying to strangle my feet, they lasted about 10 miles before I kicked them off just before the motorway and drove home in bare feet.

Quite an uneventful day really for a JINX match
