As its such a awful day , I was sitting looking back at some of my old photo albums . I used to be mad about my pike fishing and back then the fens could offer some fantastic sport , unfortunately those days seem to be gone . Though there are still good fish to be had , there are just not the numbers , without starting a debate we all know why . My best season included 20 fish over 20lb . The two photos are of my most memorable catches The first was a brace of fish caught within ten minutes of each other and at the time were put in angling times and anglers mail as the biggest brace of pike in a single session ever caught in the uk they weighed 28.12 and 27.4 , this was long before trout water piking days remember. The next photo was my one and only 30lb fish from the fens weighing 30lb 6oz and took me 15 years of targeting big fish . What was really remarkable was the fact this fish was caught at the beginning of november, it would have smashed the fens record had it been caught Feb / March. Also as you can see the fish was so long and lean it was like a torpedo and gave the best scrap I have ever had from a big pike. Sorry about the quality but they are photos of photos.
