we started fishing and it was not long before John had his first run of the evening, after a lengthy fight John landed his prize.

Next it was my turn, the eel put up a good fight and even managed to put a right bent in the Nitra in te process.

To top off the evening, Julie hit into an eel on the last cast. 8)

Cracker wee session boys and girls, Julie - your facial expression says it all in that pic :D :D

John - I think that you should send that pic to the British Conger Club, it might be a specimen?

Well done.
