ionce returned to a stretch on the tidal river wharfe the place ofwhere i caught me first barbel, i returned with a few more years experiance and thought rate this is it,im goin for it big style, proper barbel rods, boilies, hair rigs, thought i was a barbel in a past life and on an unknown barbelstretch well down the wharfe,rods baited and in the swims and i was full of anticipation, when all of a sudden "BANG" me far bank rod wasnearly pulled in but it came to nowt, me heart was going ten to dozeni knew it was gunna happen then straight after "THUD" me other rod went which was under the bank straight in front of me, but again nothing, so i got down to the ground and piered over the under cut bankwhich i was fishing when all of a sudden i saw my quarry, it came up and nearly gid me a "Barnsley Kiss" it was only a great big SEAL!!!
Now i know i dint bank it, but come on that would have bin a rate accidental capture!!!
