at first i thought it was a big carp thats what i was fishing for, carp fishing is very popular in the uk, not for eating just pleasure fishing, a great fighting fish, but not as good fight as the goose put up, i was fishing about 120 yards out and the goose stripped of about another 100 yards before i realised what was happening, an idiot watching me told me to just cut the line but thats the worst thing you can do the goose would have just ended up getting wrapped in the line if i had, the goose did manage to give me a good couple of bites which bloody hurt before i managed to wrap it in my unhooking mat and unhook it, it felt good watching it for the rest of the day swimming around as if nothing had happened, and as a goodwill gesture i shared my lunch with it
johnny the whiteshell looks beautiful i would love to fish there:thumbsup:
