I'm not so sure Eric. I had to get  fewer inoculations  for the  2 Himalayan expeditions I was on in the 1990s.  :lol:

witnessed an eel must have weighed at least 3lb caught on the fly, my poor mate thought he was playing a monster trout for about 5 minutes till we saw it .

Spinning from a stone pier my brother hooked a duck, he brought the duck in and then went down the stone steps to release it from the spinner.  To make the job easier he held the duck beteewn his knees so that he could use both hands.  He said out loud " if ye hold still I'll be quick"!  I still wonder to this day what the couple who had just arrived thought when they saw him with duck between his legs and hearing that!! :shock:

Dave and Scott caught crabs on the Ullapool stravaig
No such problems at our ned-free, clean and classy end of season stravaig venue now Alan. The fishing and scenery is vastly better too!  All booked and paid for already.  :shock:  I can hardly wait.

What a  ned-free clean and classy  forum!  :lol:

C&R at a distance ...... but was fishing for mackerel in the mouth of the Gairloch. Reeling in a line full when a Bonxie appeared and latched on to one of the mackerel. It was only a light rod so I was pretty happy when it got the fish of the hook and flew way.

A few years ago whilst out stockie bashing I caught a bat, I put the rod down and was working my way along the line to free it when it managed to escape of its own volition, thank christ, I was having visions of rabies.

On the same night I caught a 'bow' on a fag end, my flea had fallen to bits and my mate dropped a fag end in the water which was promptly attacked, so I stuck the butt of the fag I was smoking on the ruined flea and had a fish first cast.
I used to be a surrealist but now I'm just fish.

One day whilst fishing for mackerel off a pier a sea gull, with impeccable timing, managed to fly into my line mid cast.  After a good ten minute fight I managed to land it, then came the painful process of releasing the bugger.
