Interesting bout smack heads and hammer attacks, no probs as such this neck of the woods but its a fair walk to the pegs I fish as a rule. Although one clampit did bury a needle point up in a swim I fished, I removed it and later in the session tripped and fell right were it had been so lucky I saw the dam thing. Confession time, I really had forgot this but I hate hooking lobs, I must have dropped more than Ive hooked over the years and yet I can collect em with no probs. Its just when you hook em and they kinda contract it sends shivers down my spine, makes my skin crawl and I just cant hook em without wearing a glove, now is that daft or what?
Steve Hall I'll take you for a night session with me and my minder (my son Deano) hes a customs officer, ex police and a body builder and he aint comfy with the dark either lol! One day next season if you want to face your phobia just say so mate but there is no way on Gods earth that I am gonna hold hands rofl!!!! One hairy night session was when I was walking across a field and I could hear this snorting and what sounded like thunder, if youve never been chased by a bull whilst carrying a sh1t load of specitackle youve never lived!
