Hi everyone,
A first for me this last Saturday. While fishing a match at Lodge Farm on Field pond had a nightmare - with an hour and a half of the match to go I had just managed to get the fish lined up properly on my up in the water line, you know with it bubbling like a jacuzzi and every put in a fish rips the laccy out! Anyway then hooked another fish and oooooppppps the top 7 of my airity is suddenly making its merry way in the opposite direction. A shout comes from the opposite bank - in you go lad - so I quickly stripped off, dived in and swam to the middle of the lake, on retrieving the pole I took a gentle swim back to the bank stood in the magins up to my tits in water and landed the fish to a great deal of applause from the others on the match.... having spent a further 15 mins getting dried off and dressed again the fish had gone from my peg surprisingly enough and never had another bite! - at the weigh in had 88lb 4oz, what was more surprising was exactly 44lb 2oz in each net! I had won the match anyway and one of my mates videoed the whole thing!
Anyone else had to go swimming for your pole?
