Thanks Vince and all. The dry net was already in the van: this one held five carp for 25.12. The other 6 had been ‘weighers’, over 8lb. Vince was too polite to mention that I got ‘done’ by a fish that ran into a bush (courtesy of the high levels) and broke my elastic, trailing a Wilkie float! 1hr 20 mins later the float (and short length of elastic, connector, line and hook) were returned. I was on peg 20 (crap, right in far bay, ask gazmalman) and the fish was landed ( and I was told hooked in the gob) from peg 38 at the extreme other end. It was little consolation to be told it weighed 17.8 and won the ‘big fish prize’. Hahahaha. The 6 weighers went 63.4.
