46cm Black Bream

Went fishing with the mum on saturday, at around 3PM. Got to the spot, set up my rod, baited up and within literally 15 seconds of my bait being in the water it was smashed. drag was going off!

Finally got it in and found it was a nice black bream, measured 46cm - new pb-- :)

Really solid bream - nice work. Fat bugger it is

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Monster! Not in the river tho? Limestone rocks in background, was it at an ocean rockwall? Nice work, that fish dwarfs it's own tail its that big
