Fishing

[Ell1989]

I really do miss fishing, the last time i went fishing was in 2008 in Trondheim with my dad and ex. I caught a pollock for tea.... technically i did as i hooked it, just couldn't lift it out of the fjord... the ex took the credit for that catch.

Before Norway i'd go to a local lake (owned by my friends parents) every weekend. I figured out 1 peg which was great for the 3-4lb catchs as i only had a cheap fishing set, £30 rod and reel, had all the accessories too.

Most entertaining thing i've seen when fishing is my friend catching breme but being completely incapable of unhooking it *sigh* oh and their younger, very spoilt sibling falling in the lake.

A great pond i went to with my grandad was near the closest airport, he landed 30 odd fish including a good size tench. Made my fish all less than 2lb look pityful haha.

you dont spend a week doing your fishing training before a match at the weekend,

Of course you do, just because it's more of a technical sport than it is a physical sport doesn't mean it isn't a sport. And as said it can be really really exhausting if you have to play a determined fish for hours. Your logic is completely flawed.

This is probably a stupid thing to say, but I didn't actually know that sturgeons were native to here. Quality fish to catch though did it give a good fight?

They taste great too

it didnt feel like anything special, it was only 12-18 inches long. lept out of the water when it first got hooked, was quite a shock to see that shape flying through the air, usually its dirty bream doing that. felt very hard and bony, mouth underneath like a ray/plec combo. easy to unhook. the old clay pit is situated within throwing distance of the norfolk broads, literally. 50 odd years ago it flooded, and the bailiff thinks some sturgeon could have been washed in from the brackish broads.
