I was fishing at Collingham during the recent floods and hooked something which just refused to give in! I've had several carp in the past which posed no problem at all on 12lb line and carp rods but this thing (whatever it was) just was not going to yield to pressure. Whenever I started to gain a little line it just went out into the middle of the river and held position. It even did this upstream of me.
The Staff in my local tackle shop have nicknamed this fish the Barge!
At first I thought it was probably one of the biggest barbel on the stretch. I now doubt this. Any Idea's.
