odd behaviour

"But, doesn't it look real cool when they tail it "

Once I had come out of shock I have to admit it was a little interesting,
all the stupid things went through the mind like a cross trout bream sort of
slim and spots really.(;-)

Needless to say but I am going again on Monday.VBG

Most certainly, i have known even bream of around 3 to 4 lb to try and
stay topside if a large pike is under, you may be surprised to know that a
3lb bream will run from even a small 3lb pike.

But, doesnt it look real cool when they tail it

As anyone else ever had a 3 lb bream tail walk.

I hooked a few bream today to about 2 lb and they behaved as expected but
close to the end of my day, about 2pm, I had a take and this bream just
erupted on the surface and kept on tail walking like you would expect a
John Wilson pike too.

The whole fight was like it was on steroids. The only other possible
thing was that there was a constant surface disturbance where small fish
were breaking surface as if a shoal of perch were hitting them, but this
was a good 30 foot away and, later, did extend away from where I was
fishing into a little bay so it could have been pike I am thinking but
would that make a sizable bream behave like a minnow in a piranha pool.
