This was my first ever fish, a Chub, when I was 14, roughly ten years ago. After three or four goes, just trying to catch a fish, I nearly gave up. Then this greedy chap took my bait off my old Woolworths rod and reel kit! I was so happy I ran home with the fish to get a photo taken, hence the background, then ran back to the river and put him back unharmed.
