I'm sure we could sort something out mate! Those are pretty good weights for those fish! - Esp. the pike! Never caught a slimy catfish; I heard they stink!
Trust you! PMSL I was impressed with the Pikes size, but it didn't fight all that well IMHO ... I've had ten pounders that put up more of a fight! Catfish smell strange, it's hard to explain Edited by: voodooelie
That happens alot actually. Sometimes the bigger fish just don't fight at all! Example, on a match at Willinghurst 3/4 weeks ago now, an angler fishing with a pole was using sweetcorn in the margins. After 2 hrs of f*ck all, he suddenly he got a bite. There was NO fight, he pulled it up and netted it and couldn't lift it up! (Old bloke at 57) Turns out the fish only realised it'd been captured when it was on the landing mat and went beserk for 5mins! The fish was a 30.5lb mirror carp!!! The bailiff told me the same thing had happened a week before on the same lake, another big fish at 26lb, but meat instead of corn. Unbelievable!
LOL! One thing I didn't realise about catfish, they swim backwards as fast as they do forwards! Could I net the f**ker? Could I f**k! [Best mate to the rescue with his net]
