Saturday morning. Fine weather. Both my 11 year old son and I felt like some fishing. We decided to go to our local water, where I'm a Member, to fish for carp.
As he accompanies me we have to fish the same swim so I suggested that we took only my pod, the rod on the left would be mine and the one on the right his. We'd have a friendly competion between us to see who caught the biggest fish.
During the session something happened that has never happened to me before. Both bite alarms went off at exactly, and I really do mean exactly, the same time. Both took off like an express train and we were both fishing in different areas of the lake.
We picked up our rods and were both into what felt like reasonably good fish. We looked at each other and smiled and I have to say that the feeling as we were playing these fish, side by side with my son, was truly awesome. What a feeling!
So who came out on top. Well mine weighed in at 8lb 4oz and Darren's came in at, you might have guessed, 11lb 2oz. His first double!
And to top it all, he rubbed it even more by following this up with another at 13lb 2oz.
So I was well and truly beaten but what an awesome experience!!
