Harm? I get bitten on the thumb
occasionally, sometimes by the same fish two or three sessions in succession.
That's ctreless :-)

You must get out more Derek - fishing in the bath is so last year :-)

A couple of years ago there was a particularly good fish with a lie just
below a bridge and with a small group of lesser fish acting as a screen in
front. -If- I managed to get a bait to them without one of them spotting me
and spooking the rest it was inevitably grabbed by one of the screening
group. One of those was distinctive - long enough to go well over a pound
but very skinny, a cormorant scar on its head and blind in one eye. It had
impressive teeth and always got the hook well down in an instant.

I think I caught him four times in under a month.

I'm pretty good about remembering to bring a disgorger nowadays.

Cheerio,
