Gnasher Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 again, i dobt anyone is interested, but these pics are from tonights chub fishing trip on the dorset stour. The top fish is exactly 8lb and the bottom (longer, thinner fish) is 7lb 7oz. The biggest brace of the season in uk! Quote
alun j. Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Well done Dan, Superb fish ........ from the 'Chub - master'. Of course pot catch report here! Taken inside 'club water' boundaries......PBSBAC doesn't say 'sea' fishing; did you catch them from a boat though???? Congrats........ Alun. Quote
great white Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 What a wonderful brace of fish well done Dan I do not know much about course fishing, but I do know that fish like that are a very notable angling feat and must have fought hard and given a lot of tense moments before hitting your net Charlie Quote
Gnasher Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Posted September 30, 2008 Not from th boat, but it makes me only the 3rd angler to have ever caught two 8lb plus chub in their lifetime from the UK. Anyway, i think i will get back out on the boat soon for those winter species that i think will be pushing inshore soon! Quote
gaffa Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Excellent catch Dan and not an easy feat to try and duplicate Congratulations I suppose where there are 8pounders this year there may be 9 pounders next year Peteg Quote
Rob Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Nice work Dan - let me know if you need company some time, I do quite alot of Course fishing myself - not as productive as that usually!! Rob Quote
Jim Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I gave up Coarse fishing to " Take to the Seas " I was crap at that too ! But I still enjoy Me self. Well done Dan. Jim Quote
Manic Moore Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 What a couple of belters. Congratulations Dan Quote
charlieannear Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Great work Dan! I don't know much about fishing, but does doing an impression of a dalek help? Quote
Wedger Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Great skills Dan. I do a bit of electric fishing survey work and rarely see fish of that calibre. Nice one Quote
BigMac Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Great stuff Dan!!!! A brace of chub that any angler would be proud of Well done mate Cam and Si were saying that there was a guy in the same swim earlier in the day who had packed up early having been extremely pleased to have landed a brace of 11lb barbel !!!! Well done again Dan, Al Quote
Gnasher Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Posted October 1, 2008 yes Al, i saw the larger of the 11's, a very long fish, but with little gut. I was chatting to Si and he mentioned you as we had a bit of a chat about boat fishing! Quote
