The day I'm referring to is the day when everything came right. Either a multiple catch, or an outstanding single specimen.
Many of us of a certain age will have experienced red letter days. But inevitably one will stand out from the rest for a variety of reasons. What's yours ?
In my own case, I am torn between two. One was a catch of four twenty pound plus pike in one day. The other was a multiple catch , again of pike off the river Trent. That catch comprised of 18 double figure fish, the smallest 14lb plus, and the largest 19-12lb.
I am reminded when I think of those catches of the words of old Fred Wagstaffe when being interviewed about a big catch of pike over in Ireland. ''Yes but that's more than any reasonable pike angler could hope to achieve in a single day'' Good that.
