Exclamation Hunnington day out 2

i went to Hunnington again today;
i arrived at 10:00am walked to my chosen peg next to a bloke with all the gear (i thourt i might pick up a few tips)

Once i had set up and riged up i DIDNT put any bate in untill my line was in with a pinkie on a size 16 hook (the smallest 16 ive ever seen) i then catapulted 2 pouches on pinkies over the top and put 5-6 casters in my pult crushed them and fired em out. With in 5 mins i had a bite and struck into a roach of about 1/2oz not grate i know. I then shipped back out with 2 pinkies on the hook and fired 2 pouches full of pinkies and 2 full of castors. About half an hour later the float buried and i struck into another roach of about 1/2oz. I then put 1 pouch of pinkies and 1 of castors; about 1 hour later after a dead spell and a very windy spell the float shot off and i pulled into a crucian of about 1 lb. Then the bloke come round for me money and i got a bag of micros of him aswell. Once he had gone and i had finished my drink i put 2 half pouches of micros and 1 of pinkies about 1 hour later it all came to life with the float disapering every 30 seconds or so. I had just put 3 pinkies on the hook when i struck into what must have been a carp tesing my new #7 vespe elastic to the max after about 5 mins of playing it i got it down to the top 3 and reaced for the net thats when my elastic bottomed out and the hook pulled free.(i was pi**ed off to say the least)
i put 3 pinkies back on the hook and shipped out to my 10m line again after a bit of bate the float shot off and i was into another carp but this time i landed it. It was around 1and a 1/2lb
THE END... and they all lived happily ever after
