Short Vids from today

For anyone intetested i've put up a couple of short vids of a capture from this morning on youtube.

Forgot my stills camera so decided on the spur of the moment to make a short vid on the iphone. Might try doing some more in the future - quite enjoyed it.

Fish was carrying someone elses trace which had gone right into the stomach and about 9ft of line hanging out. Luckily i managed to tease the stomach out and free the (barbed) trebbles. Hopefully she'll have a good chance of survival now.

Here's the links:

Well done on the capture Rob
And even more so on getting the trace out mate you have more than likely saved its life

Top job mate

Adie

nice one bud

well in mate

Well done Rob, you no doubt saved that fishs life

Nice fish mate i think i recognise the water ! Was that you i said hello too at the car park in the morning ? i had the small dinghy on the back of an l200?

Ha ha yes that was me pal. Were u on the river piking then? How did u get on?

You can't miss tootall applehead he's the one that 7ft tall

seems i'm not the only one known to fish there lol

Not a touch in the river, only living things i saw were an otter and several cormorants dropped onto the drain for a couple of hours in late afternoon and had a 3lb jack and an 11lb 2oz.

Well done mate. Too many otters up there now. Even been introducing them with man made holts etc. The cormorants are just as bad. Last season i actually had one fly out of the drain with my baited rig in its mouth!

well done rob, were you the camera man on titanic first time i have actually felt sea sick watching a vid lol

Nice one

Good job getting he trace out but not sure why when you chin it you should offer no support to the rest of the body?

A) I had the phone in one hand to begin with
B) It was only for a few seconds until i could get both hands on it (hence why at the end the phone wasn't focussed on the fish as i was holding it between my teeth)
C) Applogies if it upsets you

well done getting the old trebles out,, deffo saved her life i reckon. i caught a pike years ago that was really long, sucked in and eyes clouded over. found trebles in its throat knitting it together so the poor sod was still hunting from instinct but couldn't swallow anything and was blind. the trebles were on mono with no trace.
i released it but it would have died i reckon.
