This week I traveled over to Northamptonshire to meet up with James . James was sent to Iraq 12 years ago at the age of 18 and since leaving the Royal Engineers has been undertaking regular trauma counselling . When I was asked to take him out I knew despite the long journey from Wales I couldn’t say no. I briefed him on how we would fish the water , using a small paddle tail Lure on a 7grm jig head , fished just above the extensive weed in 4 to 7 foot . The. Chance of a good pike was a real possibility , but it can be a difficult water especially when the suns out . What followed was totally unexpected . The pictures tell their own story . James told me it was the best day’s therapy 😁

Got to say you break very easy Rob 😂😂😂😂

Hooked one like that ( probably a bit bigger ) in a drainage ditch over Wareham when I was 15. Frightened the life out of Me ! Didn't land it though. It took the bait at the surface. Right under my feet. Well done HOW.

Magic ! I've saved this as a PDF and I'll post it on our notice board at work. James' smile says it all. Jim
