2lb 3oz. Rudd
1lb 3oz. RuddArrived at the Slott today at 16.oohrs. for an evening session, hoping for a big Bream.Immediately groundbaited a swim off the bridge and began catching Roach, a lot of them... Then had a few Bream of about 14oz., all between 18.20 and 18.35. Was still ledgering a worm on the bottom on a free running rig, when at 18.35 I struck at a slow pull and was delighted to land a superb Rudd of 1lb 3oz, a really good fish that fought well, this fish falling at almost exactly a trigger time. A 2 point fish on the league table. Then back to normal for an hour, with Roach continuously biting.
At 19.30, having been joined by Linda at that stage, I again struck a very slight slow pull and bent the rod into what I assumed to be a good Bream, the fish boring strongly away, my light swingtip rod hooped over. After a really solid struggle I was amazed when a massive Rudd came to the surface, a huge fish. I weighed it carefully at 2lb 3oz., a new personal best by more than half a pound! After a few photo's the fish was released unharmed and swam away strongly. A really memorable evening, an exceptional fish and worth 12 points on the league table.
