Yesterday I caught a lovely big roach, 2.5lbs to be exact, on the Severn below Worcester, only the second 2lb roach I've ever caught. I never carry a camera and after I packed up I went to see my mate John Jones who was fishing 100 yards upstream of me. I told him about this roach and he said "why didn't you call me, I'd loved to have seen that". I explained that I was long way away from him and no way would I carry it along the bank, neither did I have a keepnet, I never do, and I had no camera to photograph it, so back it went.
It wasn't until last night when I was thinking about the day that I suddenly realised I had a mobile phone with a camera that I could have used, what a plonker eh! I also had three nice barbel as well that I could have recorded and didn't, but maybe this will serve to remind me to think of modern technology the next time.
