Catch of the day [Fishing]

Personal best largemouth -
These little guys were biting every cast the other day.

Today, me and my friend Matt took UKIYO out. Our target species were Tope, Smooth Hound and Black Bream. Smooth Hound love a crab bait, I dropped a pot last night and caught the sum total one 1
So we dropped that at our first mark and boom, we had a Smoothie. No crabs left, we decided to concentrate on Tope, a shark species native to UK. First drop at the next mark, and we hooked into a monster, 3 times we had it in the net, but it was just too large to get in, and eventually we lost the fish. One hour later we caught a large Black Bream on a bait and hook intended for Tope, so tick for Bream, but accidental. About an hour later I had another decent sized Tope, we managed to get it into the net, but it basically made a hole and fell right through, after another 5 minutes of panic with the line going through the net, between the rod and the fish, Matt managed to wrestle it into the boat with the aid of a glove.Need a bigger, stronger net.....

My kids first fish

Broke my biceps tendon and thought that my fishing was done for the summer. Luckily microjigging for perch was doable and ~3kg pike was gentle enough for my arm and there was help to get it on the boat. (We did not return the favor and filets are in a freezer.)

Learn something every day. Tope is an interesting species.
My son caught this bass on his second cast this morning. I got skunked.
