16th June A very happy man!!

Topic of the Day - Father -

I went for a walk with Finlay along the bank of the River Nene and actually saw this chap catch this 7lb Pike - a very happy man indeed. This is the first time I have seen a fish being caught. I took a series of shots and then went to talk to him. I asked him if he was a Father and he said yes and his treat was to come out fishing!! Another spoilt man!! LOL!!
Excellent shot. I am sure that all the other smaller fish will be happy that this chap took away their worst predator too.

@steampowered Thanks Paul but he put the Pike back after he had taken his own photo!! What's that all about?

Apparently pike are very agressive and will demolish small fish in a moment! Perhaps this guy didn't know that. "the only good pike is a dead pike' they say!

@maggiemae He certainly had big teeth!! It was funny as my sister had already said I think they are keeping that for their dinner which was why I asked the chap what was he going to do with it. He said he often fishes there and has caught Pike before and always puts them back.

Wow what a catch, both for the fisherman and the photographer! Did he throw it back in Pam?

@elaine55 Yes he did throw it back in Elaine. I thought he was going to take it away but he seemed horrified at the thought!!
