This winter, Ian Coulson has endured a tough campaign in search of river pike, with flooding wiping out much of the fishing.
But, just before the closed season arrived, he managed an after-work session on the River Witham in Lincoln, during which he landed this beautiful 32lb 12oz pike!
It’s his first ‘thirty’ and fell to a mackerel tail on a simple running rig. The capture was witnessed by half a dozen anglers, but what made it extra special was that he was able to share the moment with his family and young son, who came down to see the fish.
WITH SPRING IN THE AIR, WHY NOT TRY AND CATCH YOURSELF A TENCH...
Ian rightly overjoyed with the superb pike!
