Gary/Graham,
Please convey my wholehearted congratulations to Eric,(unless you are about Eric, then i can do it personally) i would dearly loved to have just witnessed them, it must have been awesome Gary!.......i nearly texted you to see how it was going, i'm glad i didn't now, it would have made my jack and 11lber look pretty pathetic!!

Paul,

I'll pass it on mate. It was really quite incredible, I doubt I'll ever see anything like it again in my life. To net, weigh, photograph and generaly be a witness to a brace of fish like that was enough for me.

What fantastic fish. It was a similar storey down here at Chew - lots of 30's but no brace like that. I think a 38 was the biggest.

Got a day on the bank booked so expect a new record!!

Thank you for your kind words everyone.
They were indeed remarkable fish and I was very fortunate to get them.
I think the pictures in the mail are better (Gary took them). The Mail pic. of the forty shows off its enormous length.
I believe that fish will go on to break the record.

Don't know about fortunate Eric. You know what they say, 'the more you practise the more fortunate you get'!

Well done on a brilliant brace of fish.

For gods sake don't encourage him. I have another 8 days of his ramblings to listen to yet ! ! !

You just keep rowing like you do so we can all see some more great catches like that. :)

Just listen to Barney whinging. It was a different story last year when he dragged in his 31 pounder.
